How To Get Your Best Brows Ever

Treat yourself

A great way to become more confident with brow grooming is to learn from the best. Book in for a brow wax, listen intently and ask as many questions as possible. Whether you want to know how to draw on hair-like strokes, where you should be tweezing, or how to tame unruly hairs, the specialist is clued up and there to guide you.

If you aren’t sure where to go, Benefit Cosmetics offer brow waxing (and tinting, and styling!) services up and down the country. With knowledgeable and helpful staff, you’re in safe hands.

Top secret tips

Think you know all of the tricks of the trade? We’ve got one more up our sleeve. When it comes to shaping badly behaved brows, all you need is a make-up brush or a pair of tweezers. Ready to take notes?

Line up your chosen tool along the side of your nose, pointing upwards - this indicates the spot where your brow should begin. Next, angle your tool from the edge of your nose over your pupil - this shows where your arch (and darkest point) should be. Finally, line up your brush or tweezers from the edge of your nose, diagonally towards the outer corner of your eye - this is where the hair should stop.

Tend to your sparse spots

Guilty of overplucking? Us too! Turn to hard-working products to add fullness and definition where needed. We’re avid users of Benefit's Goof Proof Brow Pencil, which has a specially designed teardrop tip for effortless shaping. Use the wider base to fill in the largest areas of your brows (from the innermost part to the arch) and define the tail with the triangular point, remembering to use small, light strokes to mimic real hairs (remember to follow the direction your hair grows in, too).

If you’re looking to add texture and fluff up your brows, Benefit’s Gimme Brow is always a winner. Just a few strokes deliver fuller, darker brows that stay in place all day. Thanks to the tiny microfibres that adhere to skin and hair, they look natural too.

If you’re wanting more long term results than a quick fix, give Benefit's Browvo! Conditioning Primer a try. This brow-booster not only encourages hair growth but conditions and strengthens the hairs that you already have. Win, win!

Blend, blend, blend

The best kept brow secret? Blending. When filling in your brows, make sure to blend out the shape and diffuse any harsh lines that make them look obviously drawn on. Benefit’s Angled Brow Brush and Spoolie will take you from beginner to pro in one simple sweep. Expertly designed, the spoolie end is full of custom-blended fibres that softly smooth out product for a seamless finish.

...and if all else fails, just remember: your eyebrows should be sisters not twins! So, don’t sweat it trying to achieve symmetrical perfection.
