Ever feel like your browsโ arches are not high enough? like you wanted it to reach the top of the Chrysler Building? Well yes of course, high arches means accentuating the eyes, looking more awake and having that overall appearance of a more lifted look. What better way to get lifted (hello CL) than to try Benefit Cosmeticsโ High Brow pencils. I know theyโve released these products before, but now, with Benefitโs array of brow makeups, Iโve heard that these pencilsโ formulations have been newly-improved. Iโve never tried the previous ones, but a lot of people are saying that these are a lot creamier and a lot easier to blend.
Whatโs really awesome about these eyebrow highlighting pencils are the following; First, theyโre so convenient and easy to use. Depending on your application, you may or may not need to use a brush, a little dab on the pinky finger might as well work. Second, theyโre really creamy and easy to blend. Third, theyโre long lasting and they come in 2 different shades. Fourth, they give a major lift on your arches like Cruella Deville, LOL, not that exagg, ok.
- Natural Matte: Creamy Linen-Pink. This is meant for creating a natural look while subtly looking lifted at the same time. The shade is a matte-pink but it blends quite well to a universally flattering hue, even for my now light-medium skin tone. This is my favorite among the two shades of Benefit High Brows because it makes your eyes pop while looking very very natural at the same time.
- Luminous: Champagne-Pink. This shade is also very very creamy but has an added shimmer to its champagne-pink tone. Itโs great if you want a dramatic lift. However, for some reason, it didnโt show much on my skin tone. I guess if your skin is very light, then this would be great for you. On my skin, this still looks very natural, so perhaps a little more shimmer should have been added for it to be really universally flattering.
Swatches:
Iโm still a fan of using some shades from my eyeshadow palette to highlight the arches of my brows, itโs just a natural instinct for many of us. But when Iโm in a hurry, or if I just need a little touch up to define my brows, these Benefit High Brows can come in handy. Specially when no eyeshadow brush is around.
Alrighty guys, GTG for now..
