Benefit launches new member to the best-selling, iconic brow family
Benefit Australia launches its latest Love Your Brows campaign with a brand new product - say hi to POWmade Brow Pomade.
The full-pigment and long-lasting pomade is joining the Benefit range of over 100 brow products, each tailored to individual routines and brow preferences.
The creamy, lightweight and blendable formula ensures the product glides on smoothly and sets to a natural-matte finish that won’t budge, remaining smudge-proof, transfer-proof, waterproof, sweat-proof, and humidity-proof.
After researching and finding that brow consumers often encounter too much product being wasted on the brush, Benefit saw the gap in the market, and designed a built-in brush wiper. The custom-made three ridge innovation that allows you to scrape off excess product and allow for a clean, perfect, and controlled application.
To compliment the design of the jar and the creamy formula, a dual-ended angled eyebrow brush will be available to purchase with the POWmade – specifically designed to work with the ingredients within the product, allowing you to achieve the perfect application with no mess or fuss.
POWmade is available in eight of the most popular shades in the existing brow collection, featuring a comprehensive shade range to help fill, sculpt, and define browns with depth and dimension.
Benefit POWmade Brow Pomade retails for $37 and is on counter from August 17, 2021. Find it at Sephora here.
