Review: Benefit Brow Contour Pro

*Disclaimer: this is not a sponsored post*

You may have seen that Benefit recently released a new four colour eyebrow pencil known as the Brow Contour Pro. It's £28.50, which for me makes this an expensive product. If you feel the same, you may want to read a few reviews before purchasing one so hopefully this will be helpful to you!

I would like to begin by saying that I do like this pencil a lot. It gives off good colour payment, is smooth, easy to apply and twists up so no need to sharpen it. However, I think it does have some key flaws too.

So the idea of the Brow Contour Pro is that there are two shades of brown, a definer and a highlighter in one pencil. This supposedly gives more definition to your eyebrows than just a traditional pencil. While I do think this is true, I don't think that it does to the extent that I'd like it to for the price difference. However, if unlike me, you normally use a mixture of different shades and highlighters then this all in one could be more compact, and even cheaper for you.

Before.

After.

The Contour Pro is shaded to match your skin tone as well as your eyebrow hair colour, so since I am pale and like to shade my brows lighter than they are I went for Blonde, Light. Luckily my eyebrows are quite dark so they look okay with this shade but it is much darker than most blonde pencils I have used. Beware if you don't like dark eyebrows!

Overall I think the quality I have found in some cheaper brands, or even Benefit's other pencils makes this not quite worth the money. However, I do still really like it and if a lighter shade became available I would consider buying it again.
