This stuff is awesome. "Dark Brown" is a great match for my Asian black hair. I may even try "Ebony" one day.
There is definitely a learning curve to using this product. I use the brush that came with my Tarte brow mousse, which is a double-sided angled brush and spoolie.
It's very easy to overdo it with this stuff. You only need a tiny amount - if you can see it on your brush, it's too much. Many people like to use the lid as a palette but mine has dried out a little so I can just tap the brush on the surface a couple of times and it's good to go.
This product can create a natural looking, soft brow if you just use it to fill in sparse areas. It can also create a full-on power brow if you use more product and extend your eyebrows.
Such a versatile product and lasts all day too.
Also, it seems like this little pot will last the rest of my life. I don't think I'll be able to use it up.
As a fan of Anastasia's brow wiz, I had been lusting after this for a long while. I was lucky enough to receive this as a gift (thanks so much Michelle).
This comes in a heavy glass jar with a black lid that has Anastasia's logo in gold. The look and feel of this is very high end and I love the design.
The pomade itself is similar to Maybellines gel liner. It isn't runny but it isn't goopy and overly thick. It's a lovely gel texture that doesn't bunch up or slide around like crazy.
The pigmentation of this is awesome. You can create a light look by applying this lightly to your brows, or use a little bit of pressure to get an extremely pigmented payoff. This glides on without sticking or tugging and doesn't smudge.
Ever since I received this I have been using every time I wear makeup. Paired with my Zoeva brow brush, this makes my brows look so much cleaner and tidier than they actually are. Prior to this I thought that the ELF brow kit was my holy grail - but this has shoved that out of its place.
Whilst the ELF kit is incredible value for money, I find this more pigmented and smoother. A very small amount goes a long way and I only need to dip my brush Into the pot once per brow.
When I have finished using this I always make sure I screw the lid on tightly to prevent air getting in and drying the product out.
This lasts all day on me with no touchups required and absolutely no signs of fading or smudging. It's easiyl worth the price tag and because you use so little this will last you really long time.
Tips: SCrew the lid on really tight after use and store it upside down to help prevent it from drying out.
