BENEFIT HIGH BROW!!

Fri, 12/08/2006 - 11:27am
  • Eyes


The always fantabulous Lindsey from Benefit sent along "High Brow" a highlighting pencil for your brows.

Benefit has its devout followers, no matter what we send out to Meg's Make-Up tester Lippie, she still can't stop going to the Benefit counter for their products. Chichi gave me Benefit's "Georgia Peach" as a gift and I used that stuff down to the bare bones. They mix cutesy-can you really take this product seriously? names with these amazingly serious cosmetics. The cult following Benefit has is no joke.

Benefit's "High Brow" claims ..." an instant brow lift in a stick. Want eyes that appear 10 years younger? Give yourself a 'lift' with high brow...a brow lifting "...

Ladies please post if "High Brow" took ten years off your eyes (or at least got rid of that tired-groggy morning look).

I have yet to try a Benefit product I don't like. And High Brow was no exception. I love their stuff because it's simple and it's all about trickery. Hiding things that you don't like and highlighting things that are good. This is such a simple and easy to use product that really gives your eyes pop and a instant lift. It takes 5 seconds to use and makes such a big difference. Seriously, why WOULDN'T you use this?! On a unproduct related note, I love that the owners are twins. I've got a twin obsession. And cosmetic company owning twins? Love them!

This is one of my HG's. Instantly opens up my eyes and makes them appear brighter. It's also a very natural color so it doesn't look like you were trying to fake an open eyed look.Love it !!!

I love pretty much anything benefit! This and the eyebright pencil can do wonders for tired eyes. And if you mix the It Concealor Stick with Ooh La Lift....it makes the BEST undereye concealor! You get the coverage from the stick, and the 'illusion' of smoothness from la lift!

I use a brow highlighter I bought where I got my eyebrows done, they changed ownersand stopped carrying it. It was almost gone when I spent an hour in sephora trying to find a similar product. I found this from benefit two weeks ago. I like it a lot and would say that if you make a small line just under the brow and blend carefully it gives your eyes a pop and will look more subtle for daytime. It does go on a little hard, but just be careful not to pull too much on that delicate area. I love it and benefit saved the day with the product I needed!

I'm usually a Benefit fan. However, I have some criticisms on the High Brow. One is that I don't think this product is for my day make-up. I usually wear light make up during the day and when I tried to incorporate this into my day routine I looked like a Ghoul. Which leads me to number 2. I had a hard time blending it. I'm always conscious of applying make-up and beauty products delicately around my eye area and I feel like I had to really rub and scrub to get it to blend and highlight, yet look natural. All that being said I used it on a night out where I was wearing heavier makeup and I did like the effect. I think you need to be really good at applying your makeup to make this trick work!

Yet another reviewer singing the praises of the Benefit's line. I have yet to try a product from them that I haven’t fallen in love with. I was thrilled to find out we were getting the High Brow to test. I’d been reading a lot about it recently in the glam mag’s with them all say how great it is. Well they weren’t wrong. I couldn’t believe how it really lifted my brows. I need a little plucking and like Bee Bee said it does help to redefine the brows between those professional plucking visits. This morning I tried it in the corners of my eyes and it helped make the whites of my eyes whiter. I’m going to have to try PowederPuff and DesertDolls suggestion of putting it on those nasty little red marks. You won’t be disappointed with this product! Benefit’s done it again!!!

It's great on brows, but its not orange enough to do anything miraculous to dark circles. So-So. Try the "French Pink" pencil from Lol, or the thick higligher pencils from Anastasia."

Yet another fan of the Benefit line. All of their products seem to be the perfect combination of fun and function. Plus, I have never been disappointed in any of their items not doing what the packaging claims. I guess there is a reason I always have to push my way through the throngs of people sampling Benefits wares at my Sephora store.High Brow is one item that I have always wanted to try and I was so happy with it. Just a small amount of this matte, whitish-pink pencil right below your brow line gives instant lift and energy to your eyes. Like powderpuffnstuff, I found other uses for this. Just a dab on the insides corner of my eyes, blended well helps hide dark circles and bags. A small dot on pimples helps reflect attention away from the red spot. I think it’s so versatile because it is light enough to reflect light and draw the eye away from your imperfections, yet it is still matte so there is no sparkle to it (sparkles always make my fine lines and/or dry skin stand out more) Highly recommended, and if this is not something you need (lucky you) check out all of Benefits other products - one of them could be your life-saver!

I really do like Benefit products, and this is no exception. It helps define the brows and perks up your face with a couple of quick sweeps. Magic!

I'm on the fence.  It is definitely not something I reach for in my day to day routine.  I got this when I bought the Browzings (which is an amazing product) to give some lift.  I always felt like there was an oyster pink line under my arch and it was obvious that I had this line there.  I could blend and blend to soften the harsh line the pencil makes, but it sort of disappeared and not in the "oh, I just notice the lifting effect" way but the "I don't see anything there" way.  I did use it once on dark circles.  My Touche Eclat just wasn't covering the greenish darkness under my eyes (Finals are a beyotch!)  So I slapped this on there.  It was so light that I looked unnatural.  But I put some Touche Eclat on top of it and it looked pretty good.  The yellow of the TE counteracted with the pinky white of the HB and they met in the happy middle of my skin.  I've still got the whole thing left practically.  I'm not crazy about it and I would not buy again since I may not ever completely use the one I've got.

I love this stuff, i think it works wonders.  If you're going to use it along with benefits eyebrow wax, I would recommend using the wax first because you have to blend it a little.  If I am looking looking tired in the morning I use this, my eyelash curler and mascara and it instlantly makes such a difference!

Benefit is one of those companies with amazing marketing, which makes me really want to love it, and makes me buy it pretty often, but I never find the products to be all that effective. I think I have purchased "Dr. Feelgood" about 6 times, hoping it will mattify my oily skin, but it never does much. It's a testament to their marketing that I continue to buy it.

I love this product! I actually don't use it as a brow highlighter (as I prefer shadow for that) but I use it on my waterline! It instantly makes my tired eyes look more awake without giving it the harsh look that pure white does. Perfect product :]

I am proud to say I am one of those Benefit followers.  I also own this brow pencil.  It does work.  Maybe not 10 years, but a little bit more perked-up.  I'll take that!

I love highlighters. I think they bring a lot more light to the eyes than anything else. Which is why I always use one! :)

I like this product but prefer the softer look I get from highlighting shadows.  Much easier to blend with the rest of my eye makeup.

Interesting, but just not something I use. I prefer using an eyeshadow or mineral glow powder to highlight my eyes, and either the mineral glow powder a liquid highlighter elsewhere on my face.

I love this stuff, I got it a week ago and have worn it every day since! I find for some reason it has a different effect to shadow, and it perfectly compliments my skintone. I apply it over udpp and mac's yogurt - it bends perfectly everytime and stays all day. I think I'm even going to add this as my third favourite product :)
