This eyebrow pencil gives me perfect arches in just 10 seconds

Not too thin to be fiddly but precise enough for definition, Benefit’s bestselling brow pencil boasts an ultra-fine tip for a natural-looking effect. The tip can be used to draw on hair-like strokes to create a fuller and volumious brow. The pencil has a twist-up retractable design which means there’s no need for sharpening, the spoolie brush on the oppostite tip helps to blend and buff out the product for a softer effect.

Filling in any sparseness but also creating a more defined arch, I use it to even out my brows (mine are certainly not twins, but odd sisters) before feathering out the arches.

I opt for a colour one shade darker than my natural brows for a bolder look, but there are 12 to choose from. The pigment is rich while the colour lasts a good 12 hours (my brows look just as defined on the morning commute as they do in a late night bar). Other formulas on the market tend to fade or smudge towards the end of the day, but Benefit’s formula impressively stays put.

What’s more, the full look takes me less than 10 seconds, and there’s little room for error thanks to the foolproof spoolie and well-formulated pencil.
