Service Details Explained
1. Brow Bar Eyebrow Design (Most Popular)
Benefit's Brow Bar is the brand's most acclaimed service. The makeup artist analyzes your face shape, facial proportions, and natural brow line, then uses waxing and tweezers to precisely shape, finishing with Benefit brow pencil or powder. The 20–30 minute process delivers results lasting 3–4 weeks.
Perfect if: You're unsure what eyebrow shape suits you, you've had mishaps with DIY tweezing, or you want a professional to set your ideal brow shape during your trip.
2. Party / Evening Full Makeup
Complete makeup covering foundation, eyebrows, eyes, lips, contouring, and setting spray. The artist customizes based on your outfit style, occasion needs, and personal preferences — anything from natural everyday to glamorous party looks. 45–60 minutes.
Ideal for: Evening galas, corporate dinners, birthday celebrations, girls' nights out, travel photo sessions.
3. Bridal Makeup Package
Comprehensive bridal makeup trial including foundation, eye makeup, lips, and setting. The artist coordinates with your wedding dress style and venue colour scheme, providing a makeup reference card to replicate the look on your wedding day. 60–90 minutes.
Valuable if you're getting married in Hong Kong or want to plan your bridal look during a trip.
4. Facial Waxing
Benefit's low-temperature facial waxing (upper lip, chin, cheeks) is gentle and minimally irritating. The artist applies soothing care post-waxing. 15–20 minutes, with results lasting 2–4 weeks.
5. One-on-One Makeup Lesson
More than just getting makeup done — the artist teaches you techniques. Learn daily foundation application, eyebrow drawing, eye-shadow coordination, and more hands-on. 60 minutes with take-home notes.
