Makeup Review: Bold & Beautiful Brows from Benefit!

Benefit's Brow Zings Brow Shaping Kit Review

I love beautiful bold eyebrows. They frame the eyes, which is apparently the window to one's soul and is one of my favourite features of a man or woman's face. Since my natural eyebrow hair colour is light, I'm always on the hunt for a product that will not only add natural-looking colour, but help shape them and look as beautiful as know they can be.

Earlier in the year, I reviewed Benefit's gimme Brow and I really liked it except that it wasn't as precise as I wanted it to be. With Brow Zings, I finally achieved the precise brow arch I always wanted!

Benefit Brow Zings comes in a compact kit that contains a pigmented wax, a shaded powder, tiny tweezers, angled brush, blending brush, and a beauty lesson pamphlet. The wax is perfect for shaping my brows and giving me that great arch.

The instructions suggested using the wax first to shape your brows with the angled brush and then apply the powder and blend with the blending brush. I found the brushes too small to use and I already owned some fantastic makeup brushes. The tweezers are not too precise and since I own the best tweezers in the world, I didn't use the ones included. I also liked to mix the wax and powder together to create the brow shade and shape I desired which is a great time saver for my rushed morning routine.

Although the bold brows took some getting used to compared to what my brows looked like with Benefit's gimme Brow, but I love them!  And even though it's a little pricey compared to what I like to pay for makeup, I have been using the product for over 6 months and I'm not even half way through it! I absolutely love my bold beautiful brows! Benefit Brow Zings are available in three shades (I used the dark shade) for $42.00 at Sephora and select Shoppers Drugmart stores.

What do you think about my brows? Do you prefer Benefit's gimme Brow or Brow Zings? I would love to know!

P.s!: Although the tiny brushes and tweezers were not the best to use daily, they are perfect to stash in my purse or gym bag for some emergency makeup touch-ups throughout the day.

P.s,

Melanie!
