Benefit Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Brow Pencil #05 Warm Black Brown — Slim Retractable Tip & Spoolie, Travel Size

This hybrid brow pencil from Benefit pairs light-diffusing powder and silk cotton tree fibers to attach to both skin and hair, creating fuller yet feathered brows without a heavy or cakey finish. The slim, retractable tip lets you add targeted strokes while the integrated spoolie grooms and blends for a seamless result that reads natural in photos and everyday wear.

How does the fiber-and-powder formula create fuller-looking brows?

The pencil deposits tiny fibers that cling to your brow hairs and skin, building dimension where brows are sparse. The powder component softens the finish so strokes look blended instead of drawn-on, producing texture that mimics real hair.

• Silk cotton tree fibers adhere to individual hairs for instant density.
• Powder evens out color and blurs harsh lines for a softer look.
• Thin retractable tip allows precise placement of fibers and pigment.

Will this shade match warm black-brown brows and stay subtle?

#05 Warm Black Brown is formulated to suit darker brown brows with warm undertones, offering a near-black depth without appearing stark. It layers well: start light for a subtle enhancement, or build up for more definition while keeping a hair-like finish.

• Warm undertone prevents ashy or gray cast on dark brows.
• Gradual buildability avoids an overdrawn look.
• Compact 0.042 oz pencil is travel-friendly for touch-ups.

How do I apply and blend Gimme Brow+ for a natural result?

Use short, hair-like strokes with the pencil to fill gaps, then brush with the spoolie to distribute fibers and powder evenly. Focus on sparse areas, keep pressure light near the front of the brow, and blend outward for a realistic gradient.

• Start with minimal product, add layers only where needed.
• Brush through to soften edges and align hairs for a polished look.
• Use the spoolie to remove excess product and achieve a feathered finish.

How long does the effect last and what about removal?

The formula is designed for everyday wear and resists smudging during regular activities, though it’s not marketed as waterproof. At the end of the day, the product removes with your usual makeup cleanser or an oil-based remover, leaving no sticky residue.

• All-day wear under typical conditions with minimal transfer.
• Removes easily with makeup remover or cleansing oil.
• Pair with a clear brow gel if you need extra hold for long days or humid climates.

Who is this for: Benefit Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Pencil #05 Warm Black Brown is ideal for anyone with medium-dark to deep brown brows who wants a quick, natural-looking volume boost without heavy product. It suits users who prefer buildable pigment, a hairlike finish, and a compact pencil with a built-in spoolie—perfect for busy mornings, travel, or targeted touch-ups between events.
