Who Needs Microblading When You Have This Pencil from Benefit Cosmetics?

We have all heard about it, but is microblading truly necessary to get the crisp microbladed eyebrow look you have been craving? The answer is no. Why go through that when you can save the time, money and pain with ONE brow pencil? Precisely, My Brow Pencil’s ease of application makes it unnecessary to go through the microblading process. Precise, precise, precise! Here are some of my favorite tips on how to get the microbladed look that you are all looking for with Precisely, My Brow Pencil!

Pick a darker shade… it’ll be way darker than you think

This is key! Okay, so you may be a shade 3, but for this look you should go with a shade 5 or 6. For an accurate microbladed look, you will need a pencil with a deep pigment. That’s why the secret is to go for a darker shade. Trust me!

Make sure your pencil is sharp

It may seem obvious, but this is a key step to pulling off a microbladed look. Here’s a secret tip to find the sharpest side of the pencil. All you need to do is to tap your pencil on a flat surface to get rid of any loose pigment and use the edge of the tip for even more precise application.

Create hair-like strokes from below the hairline of the brow

With that deep shade, start applying your pencil below the hairline of the brow and flick upward and outward towards your temple. Repeat this process throughout your brow.

Concealer = Crispy Necessity

As you are flicking upward and outward with your Precisely, My Brow Pencil, make sure to follow these strokes using concealers with a hard-angled brush. The trick here is to see flesh in between each stroke and to make sure that you never let those strokes touch.

Clean up unevenness

It’s important to clean up any unevenness to make your brow sharp and neat. Using the hard-angled brush, apply concealer below the hairline of the brow to give subtle definition!

Don’t Blend

This is not your typical brow look, therefore, you do not want to blend in the product with your brow hairs. As mentioned before, you do not want your strokes to touch, so don’t blend!

There you have it! With these 6 steps, you can say hello to perfectly microbladed brows with 1 product only.
