Goof Proof Brow Pencil
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Benefit Cosmetics Goof Proof Brow Pencil has a thick, triangular shape with a slightly waxy consistency that creates a soft, filled-in look quickly. Professional makeup artist Jaclyn Hill calls it the easiest brow routine she's ever had, while Aashi Adani notes it performs well but says drugstore options like Maybelline or Elf do the same thing for less. It's a solid splurge if you have the budget, but you're not missing out by sticking with cheaper alternatives.
