My knowledge of Mellow extends to the fabulous Lip Paint I received in a BBBE. I've been meaning to try more from the brand and after this trial - I've already bought more.
Ok, that opener was a spoiler. I LOVE this Brow Pomade. My brows are my thing. I like a strong, natural brow.
We were sent the shade Caramel - which is a bit light for me, but great for adding some natural 'browlights' as I like to call them.
It's super creamy and soft, and blends like a dream. You only need to lightly dab an angled brush in, before applying in soft strokes. Brush with a spoolie to feather and blend.
This wee pot will last ages. I love that its Cruelty Free and an NZ company.
I've actually already repurchased in the darkest shade, and the caramel will be in my kit for clients!
I love this pomade and use it frequently. I have the shade Caramel which is a medium brown. The packaging is beautiful and looks a bit like a diamond. I always like pretty packaging as it looks nice on my vanity.
It doesn't come with a brush, so if you're planning on buying this make sure you have a small angled brush and a spoolie (an old mascara wand will do!).
The formula is very creamy and soft so a little goes a long way. It's nice and buildable too and I find it easy to give the brow a gradient effect. Since it is so soft it is easy to fix any spots where you accidentally deposit too much pigment - just brush your spoolie through the brow and you're good to go! I've never had any issues with smudging or fading - my brows always look just as good after a full day of wear.
The only real negative about this pomade is that it has a fairly strong smell that reminds me of crayons - not very pleasant but I can't smell it when I'm wearing it.
Tips: For best results, use a light hand with this pomade! It's very pigmented so if you're not careful you'll end up with overly harsh brows.
