Maybelline Tattoo Brow Pomade Pot Reviews

I was both excited and nervous about trying this product. My brows have gotten very light the older I'm getting and im finding im using a pencil most days to tame them and also darken them so i was nervous as to weither or not this was going to be too dark as i hadn't stipulated which colour to send me, 01 Taupe was what i got and its a pretty good match ladies so well done. The glass container feels nice and expensive and is a good size to hold and the brush is good too, one side is a slanted brush and the other a more bristle brush to even out your brows and work the colour in. It takes a bit of confidence and a bit of playing to get the balance right and i definitely say go light first and gradually work your way darker if needed. My first time was just nice and subtle and the more i do it the more confident im getting. I find the staying power quite good too i was worried it was going to be a more permanent look and would stain but it comes off well with a bit of a scrub and miceller water. Although i think a few of my really lighter strands have taken on the colour which isn't too bad to be honest.

I was very skeptical about trying this product as it is so hard to find the right brown product and colour choice.

The Medium brown colour looked quite pale for my eyebrows as they are quite dark, but upon application melted in and suited me quite well (dont knock it until you try it).

The formula is heavily pigmented and a little goes a long way thats for sure, the application is quite long and requires steady hands and concentration. Not something i would do every morning, perhaps special events or weekend application, i would prefer a brow mascara (specially when you have kids). However the product lasted all day and definitely waterproof, it comes off well with makeup remover and micellar water.

Brush: comes with a double ended brush/spooly, I would use my own brush and spooly going forward however these smaller brushes are great for travel.

Verdict: love it!

Sadly I didn’t rate this product highly. The applicator brush was good but I didn’t like how it felt on my eyebrows. Very thick and not forgiving when applying if you don’t get your lines right.

I've used brow pomades before and I prefer the more precise control I have with a pencil. Nothing has changed for me using this product, unfortunately.

The box this comes in is ridiculously large, at 4x the size of the pomade pot. I get that this is to include the brush, but it seems so wasteful. At least it's cardboard and might be recycled, I guess.

The glass jar housing the pomade is a generous size, and features a screw cap, making it easy to access.

I got shade 03, Medium Brown, which is a light medium that works okay with my dark brows; I don't like super dark brow products as it all gets a bit MUCH.

The formula is really creamy and you only need the tiniest amount on the brush. Interestingly, I hated the brush that came with the palette, but quite like this one. Having a small brow brush and spoolie in one is super handy, and I'll keep this for travel.

I find the creaminess of the pomade makes it move around a lot on application and i have to take a miniscule dot and work it in to my brows, then use concealer to tidy a bit. This is why I dont' love it. It's possibly a 'getting used to it' idea, but this is more time consuming than pencils for me. I tried with a regular brow brush and it didn't change this for me. Pomades I've tried in the past have been less creamy and easier to work with,

Also due to the consistency it can move around if you touch your brows while it's setting, but when set it's in place until you cleanse.

All in all, I'll persist with this on work-from-home days until I feel like I've perfected it, but I've warn it out and about and not felt silly so it's really very likely that I'm simply more of a pencil and mascara person when it comes to my brows.

This brow pomade is super easy to apply! It’s quite creamy and the brush it comes with is okay. Typically I would prefer something a bit more precise but it’s overall really nice and easy to use. The texture is quite creamy and I have very oily skin so I had to be very careful throughout the day as it would start wearing off a little bit which isn’t good but other than that it was great. I have a feeling this will last for ages too as you barely use any product and a little goes a long way. It’s pigmented, and it is super easy to blend and comb out. Overall I would definitely use it again during the winter time when I’m not as oily.

So this was a little fun to be in the trial with as i wasn't sure what to expect other than I knew my brows would definitely look a bit better.

It takes a bit of practise to use this product which means a little more time getting ready in the morning with it. I did find it lasted well and looks good once you have perfected your look but for me thats a bit kack-handed i definitely need some practise to speed up applying it.

the brush/wand to apply the product is easy to use, and the product definitely glides on to my brows easily. I did find it took a bit to find the right amount to use tho.

Purchased to thicken up sparse eyebrows. Really thought it would be easier to apply. A lot darker than I thought, colour stays well but I found it hard to get an even application. Would be ideal for heavy makeup looks. Product has dried and cracked over a few months, still works but I've since found another Maybelline product to replace this.

I wasn't a fan of this product. The colour was the right shade for me but it went on like paint and would move when I used the brush. It stuck to my skin and eyebrows.

The packaging was really nice and was easy to get into. My mum is going to try it and see if it works for her.
