Advantages: Small and convenient

Disadvantages: Doesn't give a highly polished finish

Benefit Speed Brow is a coloured gel you use to tame your unrully eye brows. It costs around £12 for a 3g tube at your local Benefit counter.

I became a fan of Benefit cosmetics and products before my wedding earlier in the year. I had bought several items, and spotted this in my lunch break one day. Of course, I decided I couldn't possibly face my wedding day without it! As with every Benefit procduct, the packaging was highly appealing. If you are not familiar with the brand, the whole range is packaged in lovely 50's style retro designs.

The actual speed brow product is a small mascara type tube, with a wand just lke mascara. The gel is colured, but semi-translucent sio it gives a natural finish to your brows. It is available in 2 shades, one for darker brows, and one for lighter. You simply brush this on in upward strokes to groom and lightly colour your brows.

While I like the speed of this product, I think you can achieve a more professional finsh using an eyebrow pencil and then a little bit of good old vaseline to set the brows. I guess the clue is in the word, 'speed', a good solution if you want a quick fix and a good one to carry in your handbag.

Summary: Stick to eyebrow pencil and vaseline for a professional finish, but this is a touch up.
