Review: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade

Hi lovelies!

I went to Sephora a couple weeks ago to pick up the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade because I had been seeing all the big “beauty gurus” on YouTube basically sucking this product’s dick so I thought I’d try it out myself and see if it was worth all the hype it’s been getting. Now, I’m not going to lie, those biggies on YouTube have fucking fuh-lawless eyebrows when they use this product, but I have discovered that I am a powder girl at heart when it comes to my brows. I think it’s partly because I have light blonde hair and my eyebrows are really “barely there” and I’m not a goddamn magician so those “Instagram eyebrows” are not something I can easily achieve.

I decided to pick up the Blonde shade and unfortunately it’s too warm for my hair color so I looked at the next darker shade which is Taupe and I felt that shade was darker than I was wanting. It’s not that I don’t like the product, I think the formula is amazing; incredibly pigmented, super long lasting, and you get a crazy generous amount of product (seriously, I’m willing to bet if you keep the lid on tight it’ll last  wayyy over a year). I just like my brows to look a pretty natural and I’m not ready for the fully sculpted brow since I get the results I like with powder. I may use it to really define the tail of my brow/underbrow and use powder for the rest because I know I like how the tails turn out when I use this.

*UPDATE* After I had written this post I returned the brow pomade to Sephora because I was sure I just wanted to be a brow powder girl and then I had a conversation with a girl on Instagram and she gave me a few tips and really inspired me to give it another try. I re-ordered the pomade in the damn Blonde shade that day and started playing around with it. I took my own advice to define the tails and bottoms of my brows with the pomade and filling the rest of my brow in with powder and I think that’s the combination that works for me. Yaaaay.

Overall, this is a great product and if you like a strong, well defined brow then this is the product for you! And I think it is in part the product for me. My brows have never been so happy.
