Benefit Ka-Brow Review



Hi everyone,

I used to absolutely love getting my eyebrows tinted and waxed at the Benefit Brow Bar as they always get the shape just right and the perfect arch. However, now I have changed jobs it’s more difficult to get there so I have been going somewhere else that does them OK but not quite as well. Usually, after I have had them tinted and waxed, I use the Gimme Brow from Benefit to fill them in but recently I have just felt like my eyebrows were lacking a little in shape and definition. That’s why, when I saw the new range of eyebrow products from Benefit I loved the look of them and thought they would help me recreate the look that I was used to.

The item that I was immediately drawn to was Ka-Brow which was described to me as like mixing the two elements of Brow Zings together to create a gel like product. There are five shades available which is more than I was expecting and even though it is £18.50, I can see that it is going to take me so long to get through the pot. The product itself looks and feels like a gel eyeliner but in a more brow friendly shade. Rather handily, the top can be pulled out to reveal an angled brush which I have actually been using. Normally I ignore all brushes that come with makeup products and just use my own but I’ve found this one to be really useful.

Finally got round to taking a picture of my eyebrow!
The gel comes out quite strong and when I initially used it I was worried it was going to look too much. It’s important to have quite a light hand with it and not too get too much product on your brush otherwise I think it could end up making my brows look too ‘drawn on’. I don’t think this would be a product that I would use alone but I have been using it to get the shape of my brows how I want them and then using the Gimme Brow to fill them in. Finally, I go in with a spoolie and brush them out to make it all more natural. Using the product this way I have been able to get the brow look that I want which is defined and has a good arch but isn’t too over the top.

One of my main concerns when I chose to try this gel was whether or not it would last through a long day without fading or smudging all over the place. I can safely say I have had no issues with its staying power though and I have most definitely put it to the test on nights out and long days at work.

Overall, I have really loved using the Benefit Ka-Brow and it has given my eyebrows the shape and definition that I was lacking previously. If you’re someone that likes a very natural and low key eyebrow then I wouldn’t recommend this one for you but if you’re looking to add a bit more then I’d definitely suggest trying it out.

Have you tried any products from the new Benefit eyebrow range? Do you prefer a natural look for your eyebrows or a stronger look?

Thanks for reading,

  1. I know I'm in the minority but I dislike the packaging which is too cartoonish for me. I am currently using e.l.f brow kit (the gel side) and mix it with Essence Make Me Brow for a natural looking eyebrow. I can't do the whole Instagram brows trend, it looks way too fake on me, almost drag makeup.

    1. I usually really like Benefit packaging but I understand what you mean and this one is particularly cartoonish. I'm enjoying having a more defined brow but I definitely think there is a fine line and it can easily look too much. x

    1. I know, I was meant to take an eyebrow pic but forgot as I didn't take it at the same time as the others! When I've done my makeup tomorrow I'll take one and add it on :) x

  4. I don't do much at all with my brows, however I've heard really good things about gel options for eyebrows over recent months - so many new products seem to be emerging! For those looking for dramatic brows, this sounds ideal :) Have a wonderful week!

    1. It seems more and more products are coming out for eyebrows and I hadn't really used gel so much before trying this product. I have really liked it so far though and would definitely recommend it for those that like to shape their brows a bit more. X

  6. I love brow products like this! I got used to the Anastasia one and this one sounds pretty similar so I'm definitely going to have to give this a whirl now:) Sounds like this is a great brow product for the hot summer days, thank you for sharing! :)

  9. I haven't tried any Benefit brow products yet but I'm hoping to pick up gimme brow in Glamour next month! My eyebrows are quite full so I don't tend to fill them in but I wanted something to just set them in place :)
