Benefit Brow Collection – All of the New Products You Need to Try

The New Benefit Cosmetics Brow Collection Review

New Benefit Brow Collection - Review and Product Details

Ever since my first eyebrow wax at the age of 13 (right before grade 8 grad), I’ve been obsessed with good brows. When I was a teenager, I was obsessed with the idea of having “thin” brows, but my aesthetician wouldn’t allow it. She told me that if you over-wax (or pluck), it’s likely they won’t grow back. I’m glad she gave me that advice, because in the last few years, bold brows are in, and I’ve been rocking them!

A couple of years ago, my love for brows was taken to a new level, when I discovered Benefit’s Gimme Brow at the Spark Sessions conference. Ever since, it’s been a staple in my beauty routine, even though it’s never quite been the perfect colour match for me. Because they “introduced” me to brow enhancement with makeup, I’ve associated Benefit with brows for a long time…but now, they’re offering an immensely comprehensive line of brow products. There’s something for everyone, regardless of colouring or skill level. Benefit is taking the brow game to a new level!

I was extremely fortunate to attend one of Benefit’s preview events a couple of weeks ago, in which I not only learned about all of the different products, but I also got to play with them!  Benefit’s new brow collection is composed of 9 easy-to-use products, which can be used to solve any brow dilemma and instantly transform your look. In addition to the array of new products, each one is available in up to 6 different colours, so you’re bound to find the perfect match.

For the last few weeks, I’ve been playing with the different products in Colour 4 (where applicable) – so here’s the scoop about the new Benefit Brow Collection:

Benefit ka-BROW! Cream-Gel Eyebrow Color with Brush

Benefit ka-BROW! Cream-Gel Eyebrow Color with Brush

Benefit ka-BROW! Cream-Gel Eyebrow Color with Brush

Ka-Brow! is a cream-gel brow colour, with an angled brush. The packaging is smart, as it converts into a weighted, full-size brush. You “flick” the brush along your brows to help fill them in. A little does go a long way, so make sure to start with just a little bit on the tip of your brush, and build if you need to. This is one of my favourites from the Benefit brow collection so far, because you’re able to use it to create a soft, more natural look.

Benefit High Brow Highlight & Lift Pencil

Benefit High Brow Pencil

High Brow is one of the highlighting pencils that’s formulated for use just below your brows. While this isn’t a “new” product, they did make the formula a little bit creamier, so it’s easier to blend. I’d never tried High Brow in the past, but I wasn’t surprised to really like it. After all, I already love their other highlighting products (I talked about them here and here).

Benefit Ready, Set, BROW!

Benefit Ready, Set, BROW! Review

Ready, Set, BROW! is one of those products that I was surprised to really love. It’s a 24-hour invisible shaping and setting gel. If your brows tend to get “messy,” this product will work wonders! I have a few hairs that have been known to stand up, and this gel helps to put them in their place. It’s lightweight and doesn’t leave your brows feeling heavy or sticky.

Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil

Benefit precisely, my brow pencil review

Precisely, my brow pencil is an ultra-fine brow defining pencil. If you’re really detail-oriented when you do your brows, this is the pencil for you.

Benefit 3D BROWtones

Benefit 3D BROWtones review

Benefit’s 3D BROWtones was one of my favourite products from the Benefit brow collection, simply because it’s such a unique concept! You use it to add subtle, brow-enhancing highlights. You can use it to give your brows some added dimension. I like using it on top of some of the other products, to make my brows look radiant and most importantly, natural.

Benefit goof proof brow pencil

Benefit goof proof brow pencil review

The goof proof brow pencil was hands down my preferred pencil from the new Benefit brow collection. It’s easy to use, and allows you to fill and shape your brows. The pencil itself is angled, which makes application a breeze. It also comes with a spoolie on the other end, so you can brush it into your brows for a natural look.

Benefit Browvo! conditioning Primer

Benefit BROWVO! conditioning primer

BROWVO! is a nutrient-rich primer, which you can use to achieve fuller-looking brows. Its formula includes keratin and soy proteins, which are supposed to help grow your brow hair over time. If your brows are thin and a bit patchy, I’d say it’s worth giving this one a try! You can also use it as a primer before adding other products from the Benefit brow collection.

Benefit Brow Zings

Benefit Brow zings - review

This is a new and improved version of the previous Brow Zings, expect it’s available in additional shades and there’s a new brush. This may just be my favourite of all of the products. You use the angled brush with the wax to precisely shape your brows, and then the rounded brush and powder to help fill them in. I’ve been using Brow Zings on those days when I want a more dramatic, bold brow. This is the most expensive product in the line, but if you’re looking for a bold brow, it’s worth the splurge!

Benefit Gimme Brow

New Benefit Gimme Brow Volumizing Fiber Gel Review

Gimme brow was one of the products that made me fall in love with Benefit in the first place. You use it to add volume and a hint of colour to your brows. In the past, it was only available in two shades. The “light” was too light and cool for me, and the “dark” was a little bit too dramatic. They now offer a “medium” option, which is a game-changer. If you’re looking for an entry-level brow product from the Benefit brow collection, this is my recommendation!

Benefit Cosmetics - New Brow Collection - Review by Toronto Beauty and Lifestyle Blogger

EDITED TO ADD: I’ve been using these products for a number of months now, and I have a few favourites. I use Goof Proof every single day. It’s a must, regardless of whether or not I want to build up a bolder brow, or keep my look more natural.

    Oh wow, I can’t believe how many brow products are available now. I’ve actually never tried any Benefit brow products but some of these look amazing – Precisely, My Brow Pencil looks similar to the ABH Brow Whizz so I’d definitely like to give that a go 🙂

    Love every single product in this line…even though I never use them! So fun fact about me: I’ve never tweezed or plucked my brows! I just let them do whatever they want and now I’m not actually sure how they’re supposed to look! I do like how bold brows look on other people though and I think some of these products would be a good intro to brow makeup for me! Really loving that conditioning primer!

    LOVE Benefit’s make up! I already have thick brows, but I’ve been wanting to get better at filling in the sparce sections every day. I definitely want my brow game to be on fleek…as the young people say lol! Definitely going to Sephora to check these products out! Thanks for the awesome reviews, Jackie!

    If there is one thing I wish I had, it’s thick beautiful eyebrows! I haven’t tired any brow products, but looks like there’s some good options here.

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

2020 is the year of the handwritten, handmade card 2020 is the year of the handwritten, handmade card - at least, at my house! Actually, it’s more than cards being handmade these days 😌

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪
