Filling in your brows can be one of the most life changing things
you do. You have no idea what a difference it makes, even if you already
have thick brows. Your face will be instantly transformed. It's as
if with a little stroke of a brow pencil or cream you are able to completely
change your face into some gorgeous, finished work of art. I have thin
brows myself so I always thought filling them in would look silly and clearly
drawn on. While yes that is easy to do, if you learn how to apply them
correctly you can completely transform your entire face. I barely leave
the house nowadays without some type of brow drawn on.
I've been pretty loyal to my Mac Eyebrow
Crayon in Fling. The texture is right, the color is perfect and it’s easy
to achieve the shape I want. So, when I saw that Anastasia Beverly Hills
had come out with DIPBROW Pomade I was hesitant. I've never really loved
the look of gels or pomades on my own brows. But, I figured I owed it to
myself to at least try it out.
The first thing I was immediately
disappointed by was the fact that the brush you need to apply the product came
sold separately. It’s a double sided comb for combing up your brows/a
brush for applying product. Add that to the cost to the cost of the
pomeade and now you're look at more than just the $18 advertised price.
However, price aside, there were some
major benefits. What I was most impressed by was how little of the
product you actually needed to apply to apply. Using such a sparse amount
ensures that you would definitely get your money's worth over time. It
also shows that just a little of the product can go a long way, so you don’t
have to use heavy strokes or build up product.
Also, the comb that is suggested for use with it really allows you get
precise in your application. You can create an arch where there was none,
fill in sparse spots and elongate short brows.
Together they work really well to give you essentially any type of
eyebrow shape you’d like.
Once the eyebrows had set I found the pomade to be essentially
smudge proof. They stay in place really
well and did not come off easily even with makeup remover. It comes in 8 different colors so there’s a
shade for most hair colors. I found for
a pomade or gel it looked so much more natural and realistic than a lot of the
others I’ve tried. I still felt that I
had to apply more than I was comfortable with to get ‘perfect’ brows because my
brows were so thin but I definitely love having this in collection for days
when I really want a prominent brow.
Overall, I would say if you really want perfect looking brows and you
have the skill set, and enough brows to do it then this is a really good
purchase.
