I've been ever so slightly preoccupied with brows of late and so decided I
As you can see Ebony Dipbrow Pomade is a very dark flat brown rather than black. The flat tones are good because any warmth in my brows doesn't work! It's a bit like using a gel eyeliner I guess as it has a 'mousse/gel' like texture and can be used for a natural looking brow or to create a more defined, sculpted effect. I use my Real Techniques angled brow brush to take a tiny amount onto the back of my hand and work from there - if I used it straight from the pot I'd have a proper Groucho Marx moment! It all seemed a bit fiddly at first and I wondered whether I'd bought too dark a colour but with a bit of practice it works best for me to use short light strokes to fill in the gaps and add density and then tidy up on the shape using the tip of the brush - a good brush is essential! My friend at work commented that my brows looked very natural and it's now surprisingly easy to achieve.
Applied first thing in the morning 'my brows' are still mostly in place after a full day at work and an evening session of body pump - on a hot day the shape does fade a little (on me) at the top of the brow - as my forehead can get a bit oily at times so in this case oil is the enemy! The pomade does appear to be waterproof though as the swatches I place on my hand each morning take a good couple of sessions of scrubbing with soap and hot water to remove!
The pot does seem small for the price of £15/4g but you use so little each time it should last for ages. Maybe just need some kind of 'sealing' product to withstand the current heat - not that I'm complaining or anything!
What are you wearing on your brows at the moment?

Oooh this looks really natural and the perfect shade! I think I need. Yes yes I do, I neeeeeed! x
ReplyDeleteOh dear Sam I feel responsible for you at this point! x
DeleteI totally love this stuff and use her brow pencil to outline first. Sometimes I use the wax pencil on top too just for extra hold. The pomade is worth every penny!
ReplyDeleteI agree Joanna it's totally worth it! x
DeleteOh wow you made it look so natural. I'd need this colour if I were to ever buy x
ReplyDeleteYes I think this is a good choice for us Mez! x
DeleteWow this makes your brows look amazing! I really like the sound of the gel like texture. An easy way to seal them could be to use a clear mascara over the top xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sasha! Will have to invest in a clear mascara! xx
