Benefit Brow Bar Review

I thought I'd publish a third post to make up for missing the past 2 weeks and I've had the half written post saved for a while now.

I had my eyebrows done at the Benefit counter in Debenhams during my lunch break a few weeks ago and decided to write a review since I searched for ages for reviews before deciding to go to them but couldn't find many.

I opted for waxing and tinting because I'm a bit lazy with makeup so I hoped that tinting would mean that my eyebrows would look quite groomed and full without needing to fill them in. This was the first time I had my eyebrows done here and I was pleasantly surprised.

In the past when I tried makeup products at the Benefit counter they usually put too much product on my face and it didn't look very nice so I was hesitant to try the Brow Bar. However, the brow service was different, except at the end when she filled in my brows but put a little too much product for my taste.

I already have relatively dark hair so I don't think the tint did much since my problem is that the hairs are a bit fine but it was good to try it and see. The technician mixed it quite quickly in a paper cup and applied it with a cotton bud. It didn't sting or anything and was done quite quickly. My brows looked a tiny bit darker when she finished but I probably wouldn't have it done again.

I really liked that she took her time and carefully shaped my brows. I had my brows waxed both above and under the arch since I prefer that look. Afterwards she carefully tweezed my brows to further define the shape, I was pleasantly surprised how much detail she used instead like at some places where they just wax and pluck quickly and then finish. She also trimmed the lightly too long hairs at the beginning of my brows and waxed off a lot of the fine, stray hairs surrounding my brows instead of just the small area surrounding my brows.

All in all I really like the finished result and will definitely go back. I don't have any photos right now but will be sure to post some quickly. I was also given a loyalty stamp card that gives me a free tint next time I go in so I'll have that done again but I reckon it will be a similar result to this time.
