The Benefit Makeup Everyone's Obsessed With: 15 Cult Brow Pencils, POREfessional Primers & Hoola Bronzers Worth the Splurge
15
items The Benefit shelf that quietly runs every “what's on your brows?” comment section: Precisely My Brow Pencil and Gimme Brow+ volumizing gel for sparse arches, 24-Hour Brow Setter to lock them down, plus the POREfessional Face Primer, Deep Retreat clay...
The ultra-fine pencil that draws hair-like strokes instead of a flat block of color, with a spoolie on the other end to blend. This is Benefit's #1 seller and the easiest place to start.
Precisely, My Brow Pencil
Tinted fiber gel that grabs onto the tiny hairs you already have and fakes a fuller brow in about fifteen seconds. Better than a pencil if drawing individual strokes feels fussy.
Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel
Clear laminating gel that holds brushed-up brows in place all day without going crunchy. This is the step that makes brows look actually finished rather than just filled in.
24-Hour Brow Setter
The silky balm primer that blurs the look of pores before foundation goes on. A pea-sized amount covers the whole T-zone, so one tube lasts a genuinely long time.
The POREfessional Face Primer
A ten-minute clay mask for when your skin feels congested and the primer alone is not cutting it. Use it the night before a big event rather than the morning of.
The POREfessional Deep Retreat Clay Mask
The matte bronzer that reads like a real shadow instead of a stripe of orange. It works for contouring and for warming up a pale winter face, which is why it has stayed a cult buy for years.
Hoola Matte Bronzer powder bronzer for face
The rose-tinted stain Benefit has been making since 1977. A couple of drops blended quickly on the cheeks gives a flushed, just-pinched look that does not slide off by lunch, and it doubles on lips.
Benetint Lip & Cheek Stain
Lightweight volumizing mascara that builds up big without clumping into spider legs. The slim brush gets the inner corner lashes most wands skip.
BADgal BANG! Longwearing Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara
Full-coverage concealer built on the same pore-blurring base as the primer, so it covers without settling into fine lines and texture under the eyes.
The POREfessional Concealer: Smoothing & Pore-Blurring Concealer
Setting spray that locks everything down and takes away the powdery, just-applied look. This is the finishing step if your makeup usually slides by the afternoon.
The POREfessional: Super Setter
A felt-tip marker for drawing individual hairs into sparse patches. Best buy on this list if you over-plucked at some point and have a gap that a pencil cannot convincingly fill.
Mighty Fine Brow Pen
Tinted glaze for the glossy, fluffy brow look that keeps showing up on your feed. Skip it if you prefer a flat matte brow, because this one deliberately catches the light.
Dream Sheen Brow Glaze: Tinted Brow Gel
Tinted wax that grips the hairs and shapes the arch before you set it. Pair it with the Precisely pencil when you want a fuller, more sculpted brow than pencil alone gives.
Precisely, My Brow Wax
Longwear gel pencil with a fine enough tip to tightline or draw a clean wing. Easier to control than a liquid pen if a sharp flick usually goes wrong for you.
BADgal Hypeliner Longwear Gel Eyeliner
Cream blush in stick form that you swipe on and blend with your fingers, no brush needed. The dewy, five-second option for mornings when you are already late.
Juice Stick Dewy Gel Blush
