Benefit Kabrow Brow Gel
Packaging:
Short and wide glass jar with a metallic silver elongated triangle lid with fine criss-cross line design and groves on it. The thicker portion of the lid that screws onto the pot contains pink and black text and is overall study, easy to hold, scratch resistant and has a bit of weight to it.
The lid acts as a handle being so elongated with a tip and contains a small angled brush. By pulling on the top pointed part reveals the brush. Flip this over and put the smaller end of the handle back into the lid, you now have a larger base for a handle. I think this works great for such a compact size!
Smell/Taste:
None.
Colour:
#2 - light brown with warm undertones. Matte finish.
Available in 6 shades.
Available in 6 shades.
Formula/ Texture:
This is a creamy, thin wax. It glides through the brows easily without tugging, skipping or pulling any hairs out. A basic makeup wipe will remove this.
The spoolie works great to comb out and thus remove bit of product but doesn't totally remove it. This is a heavy pigmented product with the ability to make this full coverage simply my applying more pressure on the pencil and building product. This is a product where a little goes a long way. So build up a rich colour in multiple layers.
Using the included compact brush or a larger angled brush of your choice and you get a defined look but it doesn't look heavy on. Apply more pressure and not comb the brows out as much and you can create more definition. A natural look can also be achieved by applying less pressure. There is no crispy feel to the brows either.
On me, this has great longevity, with a 10hr+ wear before it's removed with no flaking, transferring or smudging even in sweat and humidity. Benefit does advertise this as a 12hr wear that's waterproof but I do find it's splashproof. This hasn't caused any skin irritations either.
I've tried a few other brow pomades in the past and this one is the most expensive one of them all but also the creamiest. I expected this to be a hard wax that took so much longer to apply and define my brows but it's not. I find it applies well and I can create various brow looks that hold in place until I take it off, it's that legit.
If you've not been impressed by a brow gel/pomade in the past, give this one a go, you'll find an undertone shade to best suit you.
