Benefit Cosmetics’ Guide to Perfect Brows

It’s no secret that brows have come to the forefront of the beauty scene in recent years, and for those of us not naturally blessed with full arches, the road to achieving perfect brows isn’t an overnight process. But don’t worry girl, we’ve got you covered on the how-tos!

It’s so simple. All you need to do is to follow these 6 key steps to grow out those brows that will lead you to the perfect ones.

Hide & Enhance

Use a full coverage concealer to camouflage the out growth. Simply pat your favorite concealer over the hairs you want to disguise. Next, enhance your brow shape with a fast filling pencil like Goof Proof Brow Pencil to create a believable wash of color over the brow. The teardrop shaped applicator gives you a wide base to fill and the narrow tip creates definition along the arch and end of the brow. These two things can help you from going tweezer crazy in the middle of that awkward phase.

Condition & Nutrition

If you want fuller arches, conditioning is key! Look for products that add vital nutrients to your brow hairs, like BROWVO Conditioning Primer. BROWVO is loaded with Soy and Keritain proteins that are known to make hair thicker, fuller, and healthier looking. Treat this product like you would any other part of your skin care routine and apply it in the morning and at night for the best results.

Massage

Good circulation is important to healthy hair growth. Think about this, each follicle is attached to a tiny blood vessel called the derma-vessel. By gently massaging the brow area each night you can help increase circulation to that area to promote hair growth. It’s like a spa-day for your brows… they frame your face, so in our opinion they deserve that privilege!

Fake It

If you want to bulk up the look of any brow, volume is KEY! Think about it, you add volume to your hair, you add volume to your lashes, why wouldn’t you add volume to your brows?! For a quick fix try using a brow volumizing fiber gel like Gimme Brow+. The tiny micro-fibers adhere to the hair and the skin and actually mimic the look of real hair. You can even build the drama by letting the formula dry, then repeat. Drama. For. Days. People.

Happy Thoughts

Let’s face it, a little wishful thinking never hurt anyone!

Time

The hair on your brows is like the hair on your head, it grows in a cycle and can take a while for all the hairs to grow in evenly. The struggle is no joke when you’re dealing with patches or gaps in this regrowth period. During this period, you can either commit to wearing big sunglasses (even indoors) to cover them up or fill in those gaps with a micro-lining pencil like Precisely, My Brow. The latter is definitely an easier look to pull off. Simply use the ultra-fine tip to recreate tiny hairs by flicking the wrist in the direction of the hair-growth. Picking a shade that’s a true match to your brow hair color is key to making this look natural!

There you have it! With these 6 steps, you can say hello to perfect brows…
