BENEFIT COSMETICS GIMME BROW BROW-VOLUMIZING FIBER GEL IN LIGHT/MEDIUM: REVIEW, PHOTOS & SWATCHES

The Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow ($22.00 for 3.0g Net wt. 0.1oz.) is a brow-volumizing fiber gel. It adheres to the skin and hair, creating brows where before there were none. It builds easily for thick, lush arches, thanks to a tapered brush for blending and a precision tip for shaping. The fiber gel is water resistant, long lasting, and build able for natural-looking brows.

The best way to apply the Gimme Brow is to use short pressing motions. Stroke the brush tip along the brow to define the shape and give the brow some color. If you want a natural look, start at the inner edge of the brow and move outwards. Comb through to blend everything together. If you want to add more volume to your brows, you can definitely build it up. Keep in mind that if you do decide to build it up, the brows are going to feel a bit stiff. But it's going to help them stay in place throughout the day.

The Gimme Brow sets pretty quickly and it doesn't have a very wet formula. It doesn't fade away during the day either, which is another thing that I really like about this brow-volumizing fiber gel from Benefit Cosmetics. Before I heard about Gimme Brow, I used to use the e.l.f. Cosmetics Eyebrow Treat & Tame. I did like it a lot. It gave my brows shape and a nice color, but it faded away after a while. This stays in place until I remove it with a makeup remover wipe. It's safe to say that I won't be going back to the Eyebrow Treat & Tame from e.l.f. Cosmetics, not as long as Gimme Brow is available for purchase! :-)

Gimme Brow comes in a brown and black tube with a cute polka dot design. The tube is quite small, which makes it very easy to just throw in your handbag for touch ups throughout the day or even for travel. I like how small the brush is, because it gives me more control over the application and it's less messy as well.

The brush doesn't distribute too much product at once, which is great. Just the right amount of product, not too little nor too much. It's got a quite strong scent though, which I'm not the biggest fan of. But when it's on the brows, the scent isn't as noticeable anymore.

Overall, I have never been good at filling in my brows with powder, so Benefit Cosmetics's Gimme Brow has been a total lifesaver for me. It gives my brows definition and a lovely tint of color, which looks really natural. I have been using it almost every single day since I bought it and I have developed an obsession with it. It's such a lovely product, I will definitely be re-purchasing it when I run out.

Please excuse the brows, I need to get them done soon! :-)

  2. I have this and it's my favourite brow product! It's so quick and always on point. I find that there is a little bit too much product dispensed onto the end of the brush that joins the wand and sometimes gets a little hard to apply.

    Great informative review as always :)

  4. Lovely post! I've heard good things about this, but I'm unsure whether the colour will be right for me. Would you say it's a warm tone or cool tone brown? Thanks :)

    1. I think the Light/Medium would look great on you, it's a little ashy in tone though. Do they have it in store where you live? If they do, you can always test it out before you buy it :-)
