Sorry if this has been done already - but what are people using now that this has been discontinued? Is the Benefit 3D BROWtones Eyebrow Enhancer very similar? Or can you recommend something else? Thank you!

Glossier Boy Brow is meant to be amazing.

I really want to try it but the shade range is stupidly limited (clear then blonde/brown or black Hmm) and there isn't a colour that would work for me.

Thanks, yes the Gimme Brow shade 3 was a perfect match for me and the others don't correspond at all Confused

I use Diego Dalla Palma volumising eyebrow fixer, only three shades but good ones imo. £13 from M&S, only bought it to replace my M&S fibre sculpting brow gel which sold out when Sali Hughes recommended it in the Guardian never to reappear.

Bobby Brown do a crayon which is great. £30 but lasts ages

I got a sample of the benefit precisely my brow pencil and I proper love it. It makes my brows look better than they ever have and super simple to use. The sample has lasted me ages, will def be buying when I run out.

Wait it’s been discontinued?!

Winterfellismyhome · 07/02/2018 19:48

The NYX micro brow pencil 😍

W7 Queen of Brows - super cheap and is a better colour match for me since they changed the Gimme Brow options.

Iv tried every eyebrow pencil under the sun! From £2.99 jobbies to ones where I have almost needed a second mortgage and the beet one iv ever tried is soap and glory archery. The one with the pen brush at one end and crayon on the other. It's fantastic.

I use kiko eye brow gel stuff

I only found out Gimme Brow had been discontinued at the weekend, but was reassured by the girls in the Benefit shop on Carnaby Street that it’d be back in May? Something to do with the packaging apparently... I’m being extremely miserly with mine to try and eke it out until then!

Glossier boy brow is amazing. Never using anything else on my eyebrows again.

cessie322 · 07/02/2018 21:40

I've been trying to get shade 3 for ages now (certainly since just after Christmas), they just kept telling me in boots that it was really popular and they couldn't keep it in stock. I had a feeling something was going on. Anyway they rang me yesterday (I had left my number) and said they had one and would hold it for me. I hope it's not going to be discontinued.

Just bought boy brow. Never used anything in my eyebrows before; I love it!

I'm dark brown hair and the brown shade is good on my eyebrows. Might get the black sometime to mix/ darken a bit but the brown is fine.

cessie322 · 07/02/2018 21:43

I've just realised it's the Goof Proof pencil I use, not Gimme Brow Blush

ImNotReallyAWaitress · 08/02/2018 01:59

Gimmie brow was temporarily discontinued because some people had used it as mascara then complained their eyes were irritated.

It was supposed to come back around January but looks like it might be on it’s way back now as benefit have been shooting brow campaigns recently and had a blogger dinner about brows the other day.

HuskyMcClusky · 08/02/2018 02:28

I’ve been using Benefit Ka-Brow instrad, and actually prefer it now.

goodbeans · 08/02/2018 07:43

Thanks all. Lots of ideas for products to try! And if nothing hits the mark then it seems that hopefully Gimme Brow will be back this summer

Try Collection Just Brow. Boots or Superdrug. £4.99. Seriously stays on.... it says “semi-permanent” on the box and it truly IS.
