Hello loves!
For the longest time, I've struggled finding the right product for my brows. I have dark brow hair and they aren't even. My left brow in particular has areas that need filling. It's a long and funny story actually. When I was a kid, my sibling and I experimented with my brows because it was too thick... So a huge pair of scissors in the hands of a seven or eight year old boy resulted to a disaster—it led to the hairs on an area of the brow to not grow anymore.
So now, I am in a look out for brow products that look good enough for my brows. The hard part is that it's dark that when I find brow pencils that is dark enough to pass as my brows (usually dark browns or gray browns), it's still sheer and they don't blend well and don't look anywhere near natural. The pigmented pencils on the other hand look too harsh. It's pretty tricky to work with my brows, but I do have tried a few products that work, and usually they are in powder form. Now I'm sharing with you the pomade type that's been a popular, crowd favorite since it launched.
Anastasia of Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade
The shade I bought is Chocolate. I bought it when I visited the US. My hair then was colored and it's pretty close to this shade.

What made me attracted to buying it is that it's buildable. Unlike the brow products that I use where I had to blend multiple shades, I can use this alone but can create the finish that I like (which is darker at the outer corners).
See the swatches below:
I use an angled brow brush to apply the product. Although brow pencils are still easier to use, this way is still easy enough for me. Be careful with how much product you put in your brush so you don't get harsh lines. Practice makes perfect!
This reminds me of a gel liner when it comes to consistency. It glides easily on skin too. I also tried to sniff it and it's unscented. Just in case you're wondering. Lol
Here's how I use the Anastasia of Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade on my brows:
I use it with a brow mascara so that my brows will blend better with the product.
It stays the whole day on me even on my oily skin. I'm pretty satisfied with it's performance and I can't think of anything I do not like. I've been using it for months and it doesn't look like it's gonna dry up in the jar (unlike some gel liners I've used).
And that's my quick swatch post and mini review of the Anastasia of Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade. Have you tried this?
Cheers,
DAWN
