- Hello, top of the morning to you.
I haven't spoken to a real human in a very long time,
(chuckles) Um, Okay.
Hi, welcome back to the Adore Beauty YouTube channel.
My name is Amy, I'm the Senior Editor at Adore Beauty.
Today we are breaking down the difference between
Benefit Cosmetics' five best-selling brow products.
We are gonna basically go through
what each of them are, how to use them.
I'm gonna do even a few little demos on these babies.
(squeaking)
I'm gonna tell you how to use them, how they're different,
which one might be best for you.
And I'm gonna do a bit of a live demo,
particularly with this new one.
I'm gonna be breaking down five of the brand's
best brow products,
so you can find the right one for you
and your beautiful brows.
Let's do it.
I currently don't have anything on these brows;
they have been waxed, shaped and tinted
probably about three to four weeks ago.
Naturally, my brows are translucent.
I don't know if you've noticed,
but I'm a ranger.
(gasp) I know!
So my brows and lashes are naturally kind of
a strawberry-blonde, translucent shade
and I like to tint them just to have
a bit more of a contrast.
There are actually 12 different Benefit brow shades.
Some of the products come in eight,
others come in all 12.
Really, when it comes to brow shades,
it's all about what you like the look of best.
Even though I have red hair,
I personally don't like to use the auburn shade,
just because I like a bit of contrast between
a cooler, a bit of a cool-toned light brown
and the contrast of the warm hair.
But really, it's up to you.
Let's start with the lowest maintenance of
all the Benefit brow products.
It's the 24-Hour Brow Setter
and this is the Clear Brow Gel.
It's probably the best clear brow gel that I've ever used
and this is the product that I would use when
I've had my brows tinted,
so that I don't need any extra colour.
I just want something (pop) to hold them in place.
'Cause anyone else here finds that sometimes when they
use a brow gel or a brow product,
looks great in the morning, and then 11 o'clock,
you catch your reflection and you're like, oh!
Okay, my brows are now all the way down to my boobs.
That's fun.
This won't happen if you use brow setter.
The brush is basically like a comb;
you've got longer and shorter bristles.
You can literally just use it to brush the brows into shape.
That's how my brows,
I would wake up with my brows in the morning, like that.
And then this side, (flourish) polished.
It's not gonna leave you with that flaky,
kind-of crusty,
or even some tinted gels kind of go a bit white
and you look like you've got dandruff in your brows.
No shame if you've got dandruff in your brows.
Happens to the best of us.
But you don't want that from your clear gel product.
If you don't want any colour,
you just want hold and definition,
go with 24-Hour Brow Setter.
The next one is Benefit's Gimme Brow.
And Gimme Brow is your tinted brow gel,
but it also has these volumising micro-fibers.
So if you have sparser hairs or you have really fine brows,
it's gonna add the appearance of hairs
where there aren't many hairs to begin with.
So, great for thinning brows.
Again, I don't know if this is how they do it.
It's got a little brush, tiny little tapered brush,
which means you can actually get in there
and be quite precise.
I always wipe excess off.
You want to start slow and build,
because it's really hard to remedy brows
once you've whacked too much product on there.
Wipe it on the edge, like that.
And literally just draw it on top of your brows.
The shade that I'm using today is Number 3.
So it comes in 8.
I'm gonna concentrate on the tail end here,
because that's where I tend to be a little bit sparse.
So even if I brush this side up,
this is still a nice shape
but this is like, more, there's more brows there.
And another tip is if you pop it on
and you feel like it's a bit messy,
you want it to look a bit more natural,
grab your spoolie and go through it again afterwards
just to kind of soften the look a bit.
So that is Gimme Brow.
Next product is very exciting.
It's actually the newest one to the family
and that's Benefit Powmade Brow Pomade.
You're gonna get my first impressions.
I accidentally shoved my thingie in there earlier.
It also comes in the 8 shades.
Today I am using Warm Light Brown.
You can use a brow pomade
to get more of a defined, crispy brow.
Or you can use it, similarly,
to get a really kind-of fluffy, textured-looking brow.
If you're gonna be using a brow pomade,
the first thing you need is one of these duva-whackies.
A double-ended brush.
This one is a Benefit one.
So you need the spoolie on one end.
Side note, spoolies are the most underrated
beauty tool, I think ever.
You can also buy packs of just spoolies like this,
from the chemist.
Like 50 for, I don't know, five bucks.
But this one's special because it has a double end,
and when you're using a brow pomade product like this,
you need a brush.
This one actually comes with this bit
on the side that you can wipe excess product off.
Ow! Can you see how creamy that is?
Wipe the excess off on the side.
Brush the brow upwards first so you can see
where your gaps are.
I'm basically kind of outlining the brow.
Adding some definition.
And I'm gonna do the same on the top up here.
Next thing I'm gonna do, is before it sets,
I'm gonna grab my spoolie and kind of run that through
and what it's gonna do is distribute the colour
nicely through the brow hairs to make it
more of that natural finish.
So now we've got our two different brows.
And you can see that this one is definitely a thicker,
more defined brow.
Where as this one has more of that wispy,
slightly more brow illumination finish to it.
You can do pomade to fill in.
You can add even more body and width
by layering your Gimme Brow over the top
or you can just go straight to Brow Setter
after you've done your pomade.
Just to really make sure that it's gonna stay in place.
So a pot of this is gonna last you,
I wanna say, like a thousand years.
Probably not recommended
to keep your brow wax for that long.
It's 36 hours of wear, it's water proof, and smudge proof.
So again, really great if you just want to put
your brows on at the start of the day
and they're still gonna be there at the end of the day.
So as far as brow pomades.
I really like this.
Not intimidating at all. Easy to use.
You can, kind of, customise how you want to use it
depending on the brow finish you want.
Finally, the last two products are brow pencils.
And I'm devastated because I have lost
my Benefit Goof Proof pencil.
So I don't have that to actually show you today
but I do have Precisely My Brow.
And so, this is one of the brands best selling products.
This is excellent if you have sparse brows,
thin brows, or if you went a bit ham in the 90's
and over plucked your brows and you want to,
essentially, draw your brows on from scratch.
It is super fine tip.
It comes in 12 shades.
So it's really easy to find your best brow match
which is why it's so great for filling in brows.
And so this one you would do super fine strokes.
I'm actually gonna do them on my hand
and show you what it looks like.
Can you see that?
So I've really, I mean, that's gosh,
if you came out of the brow salon
with brows that look like that.
You get the idea.
And the other great thing about the Benefit Brow pencils
is they come with a spoolie on the other side.
Genius because, again, you can draw your brow hairs
on with your pencil, flip it over, run this through,
and what that's gonna do is just help to distribute
the product nicely through the brows
and get you the most natural looking brow.
So that's Precisely My Brow.
And then Goof Proof is probably my personal favourite
of the brow pencils.
This pencil is for if you have sparse brows
and the the (pop) Goof Proof.
Maddie will just whack it up here. Bing!
That is more for adding colour,
shape, defining because it has a thicker angle.
And so what I love to do is run that edge of Goof Proof
along here like this to really like define the edge.
And then again, it also has the spoolie on the back.
It's called Goof Proof because it's near impossible
to stuff it up.
It also comes in the 12 shades.
And that brings us to the - oop!
And that brings us to the end of this Benefit brow
comparison video.
If you've tried any of these or you have any questions
about the products,
please do pop them down in the comments here.
And I wish you a life time of excellent brows.
See you next time.
