How two : A brow routine that takes seconds


You know the drill, nowadays thing consists of bold defined eyebrows. The wilder the better. * yeah, Cara Delevigne, I'm looking at you*  If it isn't everyone's cup of tea, we should all at least admit that brows deserve some attention and no, a rough stroke of too soft and (often) too dark or too orange pencil/powder/liner DOESN'T do the job. Oh, and over-plucking isn't an option anymore. Please. 

Now, I agree not all of us can/want to spend hours on our make-up in the morning, nor lose some precious time with our beloved bed. You can skip foundation if you feel like it. Eyeliner isn't necessary on a day to day basis. Oh and lipstick is an option really. Skip it all if you wish, but don't neglect your brows (or your concealer, but you know your limits right?). Would you go out without your underwear ? (I know, I know, some of us would, do, whatever). My point is, not only are your brow right in the middle of your face, but they define your whole look. Try to do a bold smokey eye without adding mascara. Not so fancy ha? Dull, undefined eyebrows washes you out. The danger is that roughly made "bad" eyebrows are no better than no eyebrows at all, that's why you should be careful and chose your allies -aka your pen, pencil, powder, whatever is your thing, wisely. I'm not here to dictate you the ten miraculous steps to perfect brows (what are they anyway?) - nah, I'm here to save you time right ? That's when this baby come in handy; he's called Gimme Brow and is another genius product from Benefit. I'd almost say it's life-changing. Almost. 


We aren't all blessed with naturally full brows, and mastering the perfect shape is a matter of years, I'll give you that. But to me, this product should please pretty much anyone. The concept is brilliant, it's one of those tinted brow gel that defines your brow if you're too lazy to use anything else, or at least fix them so they don't go 'cray 'cray during the day. The plus of this one ? It has fibers in it. Yeah, fibers, like in those magical mascaras that fool people into thinking you're wearing falsies. False brow it is then ? Yes, but in a good way. It looks pretty natural, adds just the right amount of color, hold them in place pretty well and make them look so much fuller than they actually are. Two different shades are available, I use the light one even though I'm almost a brunette and find it to be the perfect shade, cool toned, dark enough but not too bold. The best part is that it takes no more than 10 seconds to do both of your brows and you really can't go wrong with it, I promise. Good brows in a bottle, I'm telling you.

No more excuses ya'll, get those bad boys on !
