Hey Beauties!
Everyone likes good brows right? Brows have become such a big thing in the past few years it's amazing how trends change so much, in the 90's it was all about those really thin over plucked brows but now its all about having big full brows that look really defined and arched. The perfect product for those of you looking for great brows is Benefit's Gimme Brow, it can be used by anyone who wants to groom their brows: men, women, people who have little bit of brow, to people who have a lot of brow.
Benefit recently relaunched all of their brow products in fantastic new packaging, Gimme Brow actually reminds me of a little genie lamp now its so cute!
Gimme Brow comes in 3 different shades. The shade i have is Number 3 i thought this might be a bit dark for me because im never the last shade in anything but its actually a great match for my brows. 1 would be great for you if you have light hair like blonde/light brown, 2 would be great if you have light brown to medium brown hair and 3 would be great for anything deeper than that.
Gimme Brow is first and foremost an eyebrow gel, it works by volumizing the brow hairs with its fibre formula. This is great for all of you that don't really have much of a brow but you want to build something up. I would suggest use your regular eyebrow pencil/powder lighter than you normally would just to cover in any gaps then use Gimme Brow in upward soft strokes to build the intensity of the product that you desire and you will see how much it builds up a brow thanks to the fibres.

Old Gimme Brow compared to the new packaged Gimme Brow[/caption]As you can see above deepest shade number 3 isn't really all that dark its just ashy enough that it can create a good brow without looking too dark. Gimme Brow is a really versatile product for multiple hair colours.
You might feel a bit deceived because you expect something the size of something like Bad Gal Lash or They're Real but in actual fact the product is tiny about the size of Fakeup Concealer in a very skinny tube.
As you can see above the brush is really small as well so its perfect for getting in at those brows. I feel sometimes with brow products the brush is far to big and it kind of hinders the products ability to work properly so by having this small brush you can apply the product where its supposed to be.

Thanks for the review and swatches, the new packaging looks gorgeous !
ReplyDeleteI love Gimme Brow but the thing that drives me crazy is that it starts clumping after a month or so and then becomes unusable, because of the big clumps that stick to the end and the side of the brush... I hope they fixed that with the new packaging!

Thanks for reading! <3 x
ReplyDeleteI think that might have been fixed because the product itself feels less dry it feels a lot more fluid now x
ReplyDeleteWhat shade did you get? x
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to try this for ages but want to use up my Illamasqua one first, have you tried that? Would you say this is better? x
