Maybelline Tattoo Brow Pomade Pot Reviews

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.

The formula of the pomade is very smooth and creamy and the product applies really easily. It is not a super dry formula, but it does dry down to a powder-like finish when applied to the eyebrows.

It is super easy to apply and blends nicely. The product stayed on my eyebrows all day without smudging. I even wore it on a cardio day once and it did not budge or smear and it still comes off relatively easily when I use my oil cleanser at the end of the day.

I received the colour 01 Taupe which looked a lot lighter in the pot, but to my surprise it applied much darker on my brows. My brows are naturally quite dark and full, but this shade was a perfect match to fill in my sparse areas without making my eyebrows look too heavy and dark.

The pomade also comes with a dual-ended angled eyebrow brush and eyebrow spoolie. The bristles of the angled brush is quite stiff and I wished it was a bit thinner for more precision, especially when filling in the tail of the brow. I liked the spoolie end though, as it is slightly bigger than the average spoolie and blends the product nicely to soften the front of the eyebrow.

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.

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!

I really like this brow pomade, it has a nice creamy consistency that dries down well and stays in place nicely throughout the day. It isn't 100% smudge proof but as far as staying power, it has been really good. It also claims to be waterproof. The pomade comes with a applicator brush with an angled brush at one end and mascara like comb brush on the other. The angled brush works well enough although it isn't overly great but doe's the job if you don't have a specific eyebrow brush to use. The shade I have is dark brown and is true to the colour, it would definitely suit those with darker hair. My hair however is jet black and it wasn't a good match for me. I'm unsure if they carry any darker shades in this range but I wish more brands would make a black eyebrow pomade! I'd definitely buy this again if I could find a darker shade as the product overall is really good!

Without trying to sound like a make up snob, this product was a lot better than I expected. I have tried some brow pomades before and not been all that impressed, but this one actually gave a decent result.

I will say it didn't quite work how I expected from the instructions. It gave my brows a bit of a tattooed effect (which might seem logical given the name of the product) but the instructions show more of a light filling in effect which I could not achieve. Fortunately I have other products that do that so the more intense look was a change of pace.

The Tattoo Brow Pomade is a cream formula; it applied smoothly, adhered well, remained relatively fixed all day and created a sharp and defined look.

The cardboard packaging was quite large for the size of the glass jar and brush. The glass jay was easy to get product from and for a supplied brush, I actually really like it and won't use my own brush instead (which is probably a first).

I would use this product again.

I have very fair hair and very thin eyebrows. I was very close to tattooing on my eyebrows but now I’ve tried this product I definitely don’t need to! The gel goes on easily with the provided brush. It does not smudge or wear off during the day. You only need to use the tiniest bit so it will last for ages. Washes off easily with Micellular water or a regular facewash. Looks completely natural.

Until recently I had been buying the pencil version of this product - and while the product itself was awesome, my only complaint was the way that you had to apply the product. The pencil didn't sharpen/shave well, and it would run out completely in just a few weeks.

I only tried this Pomade Pot only because the pencil wasn't available, but I've never actually been a fan of applying brow make up with a brush because I find it hard to get the right precision (I'm not sure if they don't make the pencil any more, as I haven't seen it in a while).

So anyway, I tried this and was really pleasantly surprised. The delicate angled brush was very easy to use, and I was able to get really clean lines - which is great for brows. The brush is double-ended, so angled brush on one side and then the other is like the tip of a mascara brush. This is great for going over the brow after applying the pomade. It spreads it really well for a natural finish.

This stays on really well, just like the pencil.

The best thing about this is that I probably bought it about 2 months ago, and it looks like I have barely used any of it. This is seriously going to last me a long long time!

I’ve only ever used brow pomade once before and that was from Milani which I wasn’t hugely impressed by because of how it dried up easily and became quite clunky.

In comparison, there’s one word I can use to describe this which is: creamy! It legit looked like chocolate when I first opened the lid. I have to admit I applied too much when I first tried so I ended up having thick, dark caterpillars for brows. The great thing about that fact is a little goes a really long way. You can use a tiny bit to have more feathery, “natural” looking brows or use more for some bold statement brows. I also feel that if you’ve just recently had your brows threaded/waxed, you can easily achieve that particular “Instagram Eyebrows” look with this product without even needing to clean it up after with a concealer. It’s just so precise.

In terms of the brush applicator, it's roughly 2.5 inches long (from the point of the angled brush down to the spoolie) and Maybelline did a fantastic job on designing the angled brush. It's pointed enough to know where you're drawing and the bristles aren't stiff enough for the product to glide onto the skin. I do wish the spoolie was smaller and the bristles were more dense just so when I blend out my brows I won't feel the need to wipe out any excess that goes "outside the lines" - however, this is not a dealbreaker for me and is easily remedied.

When I purposely try to rub off the product on my brows with a finger, it relatively stays on, but I do have a smidgen of colour on my fingertip when I check it. For cleansing I did see that it takes a number of scrubbing to completely remove it and you can't just use a makeup wipe which is a major plus because you know that baby is gonna stick come rain or shine.

In conclusion, I would absolutely buy this from my own pocket and highly recommend it. In all honesty, I've been such brow pencil gal for years, but after I received this in the mail, I haven't gone back to my pencil because of the ease of using this! Like I can't believe I'm saying I'd favour this pomade now over my pencils - it's crazy.

This is definitely one of the better Maybelline eyebrow products I have used and my favourite of the 5 product that I trialled.   I received the shade 05, dark brown which is a really good match for my eyebrows which aren't black but are still very dark. As I don't completely fill in my brows I mainly used eyebrow products to full in gaps and to extend out my brows. So I like having a colour that matches.

The jar is a descent size and because it's so pigmented it will last years. I find the inside of the jar lid a great place to wipe away excess product from the brush. The brush/spoolie is small but descent. The angled end is flexible but still firm enough for me to precisely draw in hairlike strokes. The formula is creamy and blendable so I would definitely use a clear blow gel to set in place. The product dries to a matte finish but suprisenly wasn't too diffult to remove with normal cleanser.

This is a good dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills dipbrow promade which is my go to brow product but is cheaper and has a brush. Shade selection is more limited so make sure to swatch.
