After doing several workshops for the brand, I must say, I know each of their products by heart! And not one of them disappoint! (no joke here and I'm not paid to say so!)
When I heard about the new "Bling Brow" fad, at the back of my head: "Oh no! Maybe, there is one product from Benefit that I may not be as excited about after all!" #Truestory
I mean who would go out on a regular day with Swarovski crystals on their brows? Not me, and maybe...not you! BUT, listen to this! Benefit Cosmetics must've heard about my doubts as they invited me to interview Benefit's International Spokesperson for Global Services, also known as the Global Brow Expert Jared Bailey. My idea about brows and Bling Brow changed --- big time! And let me share to you why!
Oh, before I proceed, isn't he gorgeous? I can't help but stare at his gorgeous eyes and his personality matched his gorgeous looks!
Jared loves sharing the wonders of Benefit Beauty Services and indeed in just an hour of interview, I learned so much! He is actually living and breathing the Benefit Brand for almost a decade, starting his career from Beauty Artist and National Trainer to U.S. Boutique Business Development and now a Brand Ambassador! Imagine, he is from San Francisco but he only stays there 20% of the time as the rest of the percentage? He travels worldwide to spread secrets to having good-looking brows! (Man! His job is amazing!)
According to Jared ---
- Jean and Jane, the creators of Benefit are the ones who invented brow-mapping.
- What's brow mapping? Your brows start in line with the dimple from your nose.
- Next, hold the pencil horizontally from the outside corner of your nose through the outer corner of your pupil and make another mark—as this is where your arch should be.
- As to were your brows should end? Line the outer corner of your nose with the outer corner of your eye.
- Shape your brows sitting up.
- Always start shaping brows from the bottom as shaping this area may spare you from removing hair on the upper brows.
- Always keep natural brow shape and follow trends using brow makeup. So for Mr. Bailey, tattoo brows maybe for you but not for him!
- Don't focus on making your brows even, instead fix one brow at a time.
- Jared's favorite brow product? Benefit's Gimme Brow! (I swear by this too! Read my review HERE)
- Jared's favorite non-brow product --- Porefessional. (I personally use this on my bridal clients, review HERE)
- And now, let's talk about Bling Brow, there are made with Swarovski Crystals available in 8 shades (Rose Gold, Greige, Light Silk, Crystal, Smoked Topaz, Green Multi-color, Light Pink and Pink Multi-color)
- These Bling not only add irresistible sparkle, they can help flatter and frame our brows. #TRUE
