Hey ladies! In our previous post I mentioned about a new launch, remember? Well time to reveal it! It is the brand new brow pomade by Maybelline. As far as I know, brow pomade in an affordable price tag was not present in the Indian market. We had eye brow pencils, eyebrow powders etc but not pomade. The first time I heard about brow pomade was from Instagram celebs and cosmetic retailers on Instagram- The Anastasia Brow pomade. That little pot sells for no less than Rs.1800 in Indian currency. Now, although I love groomed brows, I d not favour the thickly drawn “stencilled” brows since I feel they might look good in pictures but in actual life I am most definitely going to find people pointing out my “makeup eyebrows” to me and asking why did I paint them? Lol! So it has always been a brown eyeshadow and a thin angular brush as my “eyebrow soldiers” (I use Inglot eyeshadow for the same. (Read HERE). But when I saw such affordable brow pomade and that too in a crayon form I couldn’t resist myself. Read on to find how it fared.

Product Name: Maybelline Fashion Brow Pomade

My take: As I mentioned earlier, I like lightly groomed brows as opposed to heavily done brows. This is mainly because I have really thin and sparse brows and even a slight “extra” product on them makes them look like right out of the circus. The big fat crayon tip did look intimidating at first but I went ahead for a try. I couldn’t apply it properly because my brows are thinner than the tip of the crayon. What a bummer!
Next, I tried picking a bit of product with my trusted flat angular brush which I use daily for filling my brows and then proceeded use it as I would with a brow powder. To my delight, I could fill my bows with ease and the lines were much better than what I manage with an eyeshadow. The extremely sparse areas needed to be covered directly by the crayon and then smoothed with the brush. However, since the pomade content is more, the pigment will “slip away” if you use the brush too harshly. When handing the brush lightly, this product can give you a beautiful finishing touch at the outer edges which eyeshadows might fail at.

The shade Soft Brown is a mix of cool toned brown and taupe. This makes it extremely wearable.

After using  Maybelline Fashion Brow Pomade #Soft brown

However, since pomade is essentially what we laymen call “Vaseline”, there is a certain slip to the product. If your skin is too oily you might want to stick with eyeshadows or brow powders. Also, I still reach out for my eyeshadow as my quick fix, but this is definitely going to be my festivals or photoshoots’ eyebrow fix. It manages to stay for 5 hours on me post which I see fading. This duration may vary from person to person.

Overall, I would rate this 3.8/5
