Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade Review

I was converted to pomades after BR sent me the Maybelline one to trial.

This is considered the HG of brow pomades so naturally I had to try it.

The packaging feels expensive, the product inside is silky smooth and the colour matches my brows perfectly.

The product also last all day and doesn't often need topping up for going out in the evening.

I think this product does have a slight edge on its competitors, so if you can justify spending that bit extra I'd recommend this.

The one thing it doesn't however have is a brush so you will have to get that too if you don't have one already.

At first I was so scared of using this as I had seen some reviews saying you need a very light hand but after a few gos with it . . . dipbrow and I have a great relationship now. I think once you get yourself use to using this formular and study a few tips like shading in ect you too will be impressed!! I love how I can apply this and not have to worry the whole day if it's bleeding into my eyemakeup ect. Once it's put down it stays down. I find you need cocnut oil or a good makeup remover to remove it. I expected this to be amazing and it is . . . and so it should be as 'The Brow Queen" designed it

I have had coloured brow waxes in the past but found the pigmentation to be so lack lustre that I might as well use clear. This isn't "technically" a brow wax but I kind of use it like a powder & wax in one. The first time I used it was a bit of a disaster. It is so highly pigmented that you have to be super careful not to pick up too much product. Unless you're going for that super crisp "Instagram Brow", in which case, go hard! The formula is really creamy when you apply it but if you want to come back and fix it later you are out of luck. Make sure you run a spooly through your brow when you are done with the colour. It dries pretty quickly so make sure you are happy before you move on! This also means that once it is dry, it won't budge. Go for a swim if you want! I know people have had issues with it drying out but I have been using it for a few months and not had much of an issue. Just keep it closed up tight and in a warm/dry place! Love the packaging. Really expensive looking with the glass pottle. Am I the only one who calls it a pottle? Aaaaanyway... I kind of wish I had gone a shade lighter than my hair (Dark Brown) but as long as I use a light hand it's fine. I've had this for a few months and have made such a small dent in it so I think it'll last me a long time. So... Love it but PLEASE don't dip your brush right in like the name suggests. Just get a teeny bit of product and you'll be set.

I have sparse eyebrows, I highly recommend this product for its staying power, it does not smudge at all and it fills my sparse brows. A little goes a long way. It works for me.

When I first bought this I applied way too much product and gave myself huge caterpillar eyebrows. I was scared off using it for a while and wondered if dark brown was too dark for me. But after watching some videos on youtube, I found that the key is to gently swipe the brush on the pomade so you only get the smallest amount of product. The Anastasia Beverly Hills brush is amazing! It makes applying the pomade so much easier. I use the brush end to outline the bottom of my brow and the tail. Then i use the spoolie end to brush the product through the rest of my brows. It lasts beautifully. You could go swimming in it, sleep in it and still wake up with flawless brows. There's a learning curve but once you practice applying it a few times, this lives up to the hype. You can apply a small amount for daytime and you can apply more product to darken the brows for night time heavy makeup looks

Colour Taupe - Great colour for blondes with a cool undertone, has a nice ash colouring to it, lasts most of the day as long as you don't rub at your eyebrows, super easy to use and glides on smoothly. Very blendable and only a small amount is needed.

I was lucky enough to receive this in the shade Taupe from a friend. You can however pick this product up for AUD$19.60 from beautybay. The packaging is lovely but practical and feels quite expensive. A glass pot with a plastic lid. On the lid is a golden logo.

Taupe is a lovely darkened blonde with a hint of grey. For me this colour creates quite a dramatic brow but I quite like that for a night out. To use this I use a small angled brow brush. It has the texture of a cream eyeshadow which at first I found extremely weird when I first got it. I was expecting it to be like a thick gel like I have used in my Benefit Brow Zings kit.

I find to apply this it is best to put a light amount over your brows and then I comb it through quite thoroughly to get an even coverage of colour then brush hairs into place. I then use a cotton bud to clean up the edges. I find it incredibly easy to use too much of this product. In saying that it is easy to use too much product you still use nothing at all, I can imagine that if this didn't dry up (which I imagine it will at some stage) that it could last you years. The staying power of this is amazing! My brows are in the exact same spot at the end of the day as they are at the start when I use this. If you didn't wash your face (ew) I could imagine this staying in place for days.

For me this isn't an everyday product as I feel it needs a bit more effort to make it look perfect than using a powder or brow pencil. However it still has a time and place which for me is when I have extra time to look nice, or a day long event, or if I'm doing my makeup in the morning but have something on at night. So it has a time and place for me, but that isn't everyday.
