Eyebrows have taken over our faces. In France, the keyword eyebrow has generated more than 3 million monthly searches on Google since 2017. Between microblading and brow lamination, the quest for the right home tool remains open.
Benefit Cosmetics answers with Precisely, My Brow Detailer, a new ultra-precise eyebrow pencil supposed to imitate real hairs and last all day. We tested it on several brow types to see if it actually delivers on this promise.
Why an ultra-precise eyebrow pencil changes everything for the eyes
In the Precisely range, already carried by Precisely, My Brow Pencil, a copy of which is sold every 7 seconds worldwide, this Detailer aims for the ultimate precision work. The idea: to correct the gaps one by one, rather than filling them in overall.
Its 0.8 mm retractable lead, announced as the thinnest on the market, is protected by a transparent sheath: it only extends one millimeter. The pencil, equipped with a brush, costs $26.50 and exists in 6 shades at Sephora.
Precisely, My Brow Detailer: 0.8 mm lead and texture for the hair effect
On the skin, the tip draws ultra-fine lines that imitate hair well, especially at the head and tail of the eyebrow. We fill in an isolated hole or a line that is too thin without creating a block of color, the result remaining very natural.
The texture, firm but melting, glides on without smudging and blends easily with a brush. For an even more precise effect, explains Jamie Genevieve to Cosmopolitan magazine.
How to use this eyebrow pencil for a natural look that doesn’t move
Before drawing, brush the eyebrows upwards with a brush to reveal sparse areas. We then align the start of the eyebrow with the wing of the nose, then the tail with the outer corner of the eye in order to define the ideal length.
With the pencil barely out of its sheath, we trace the lower line starting from the arch, we stretch the tail slightly then we fill in the holes with micro-strokes in the direction of growth. During our test, the result remained clear until the evening, including a sports session. If the vegan criterion is decisive, the Kat Von D Beauty eyebrow collection is announced to be 100% vegan.
