There’s been such a strong focus on eyebrows for the past decade or so in the makeup realm hasn’t there? With countless brow products to choose from, it’s going to take something pretty special to standout from the crowd, which is exactly what Dutch brand B’KATE intends to do.
Founded by International Brow Artist Marlies Gregorius, B’KATE is all about high performance, top quality vegan -friendly brow cosmetics, designed to inspire confidence and authenticity. I have been trying the Brow Oil, Brow Gel and Brow Pencil and can confidently report that all three are lovely products.
First things first, I love the packaging this brand uses. It’s sleek and quite sophisticated; it looks like it means business, if you know what I mean! Everything I’ve tried feels quite sturdy too – there’s nothing flimsy about these products at all. Here’s a bit more about the three bits I’ve tried out:
B’KATE Pro Brow Powder Pencil £14
I really like the Pro Brow Powder Pencil. It’s a creamy powder formula with a handy spoolie on the other end. I have the shade ‘Scott’ which is a soft brown but you can also choose from Tatum, a dark brown and Leo, which is blonde. It’s really soft, blendable and buildable, which I appreciate in a brow product because I have a habit of being a bit heavy handed and making my brows darker than intended, which results in wiping a lot of product off. I don’t seem to have that issue with this pencil and find it really easy to work with. I don’t fill in the my brows much because they are quite full anyway (with more and more random, white and wirey ones appearing) but I do add some definition through the length and fill in the inner corners a bit where the hair is a bit sparse. This pencil is the first I’ve used in quite some time – I usually stick to tinted gels and waxes – but I find it really user friendly and the colour I have blends in with my brows quite naturally.
B’KATE Castor Roll On Brow Oil £6.95
My favourite product of the three, the B’KATE Brow Gel is a clear gel with added Vitamin B5 to moisturise and add shine. This is a really nice brow grooming product – you only need a little bit to tame the brows, it doesn’t feel sticky, doesn’t dry stiff and I haven’t noticed it flaking. I’ve used a swipe of this after the Pro Powder Pencil to make the hairs nice and tidy and lock the colour in place.
The products I’ve mentioned are really just a taster of the B’KATE brand – there are much more products to explore, including brushes, pomades and brow scissors.
