Review: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Dark Brown

I've heard a lot of good things about Anastasia Beverly Hills brow products, so I recently decided to try the Dipbrow Pomade since I didn't have anything like that in my brow arsenal yet. I got mine in the shade Dark Brown.

I had forgotten to take a photo just as I'd gotten it out of the box, so this has a little dent in it where I had dipped my brush.


This is a highly pigmented product that goes on very smooth. Its texture is very much like gel eyeliner and I am sure you can use it that way too. For me, just two dips in the product is enough for each brow; that pigmented! This pot will definitely go a long way.

I used a stiff angled brush to outline and then fill in my brows, and a spoolie to brush it out and avoid a matted-down look with my brow hairs.


I don't really like showing my entire face on my blog, which I know is strange for a beauty blogger, but here's how Dipbrow Pomade looks like:


It gives quite a strong brow look but doesn't overpower the rest of the face if you wear a little bit of other makeup.

You need a steady hand to use the Dipbrow Pomade. I've used it twice so far, and I still need to get used to having a steady hand with it. Application does take patience and precision, but it's worth it if you need a brow product that really lasts all day.

Our weather's been topsy turvy, being rainy at times and hot on others. This adds up to some pretty intense humidity and makes my T-zone and brow area pretty greasy. I used this product alone with no setting gel or anything, and it was still intact after eight hours with just a little fading on the tail. I purposely smudged it with a finger at the end of the day to see how it would stay on, and it barely moved. Smudge-free, indeed, but easily removed with Shu Uemura cleansing oil.

Because this product is designed for "carving perfectly precise brows that won't fade" according to the Anastasia website, the look is just that: perfectly precise. If you prefer a really soft and natural brow look, this may not be for you, unless you combine it with a brow powder or pencil that will help achieve that look.

The Dipbrow Pomade is a very good product for smudge-proof eyebrows, but remember to allot a little extra time for application. I got mine from facebook.com/makeupyourmind.store for P1,100.

When storing this, remember to screw the cap on tightly and store it upside down, to prevent it from drying out. I use the same storage trick with my gel eyeliners and it really works.

If you prefer long-lasting but more natural-looking brows, I would recommend K-palette instead; you can check out my review on that here.
