Brow styling has gone far beyond the humble eyebrow pencil. No longer do we simply ‘fill in’ our furry face framers; we craft hair-like strokes, pump-up the volume, and set in wind-withstanding place.
And if you’re someone who takes those two hairy slugs above your eyeballs seriously, you’ll need a serious product to perfect your craft. That’s where a pomade comes in…
Long-lasting, versatile, precise and pigmented, pomades are well worth the practice if you like a highly-styled brow. These are the ones worthy of a spot in your kit, from budget buys to cult heroes…

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade
Being hailed as the ‘queen of eyebrows’, you just know Anastasia’s pomade is going to be pretty hard to beat. This product goes far, so even though it may seem pricey, consider that the pot will probably last you a whole year.
Available at Sephora for $33.
Benefit KA-Brow!
A five-star favourite of the bh members, and once you try it, you’ll see why. The gel formula packs a punch, but with a light hand and practice, you’ll find you can create all sorts of styles. From feathery strokes to full, on-fleek arches, it’s worth it’s weight in gold.
Nyx Tame & Frame Brow Pomade
For a more price-friendly pomade, you’ll be hard pressed to find one better than NYX. If you can make one of the two shades work for you, you’ve hit the jackpot (and saved yourself a crisp twenty).
Available at Priceline for $6.
Chi Chi Brow Pomade
Our bh members have declared this pomade as the best dupe for Anastasia’s Dipbrow. Their five-star reviews rave about the product’s creamy texture and long wear. At $15, most agree it’s well-worth the price.
Ardell Brow Pomade
Oily skin making your eyebrows melt off by midday? Ardell’s pomade has gained a reputation for rectifying any icky transfer and smudge situations. Goes on creamy, sets like satin and won’t budge. Just make sure you’re putting the lid back on tight each time to save it from drying out.
What a great trick SP!!!
It looks so cute – I really want to try that one!!
I do like a lot of the Ardell products that I've tried – great brand!!
I know what you mean Tiger – some can look terribly overdone – I'm not into those either as I find they just look so weird! A little bit like they come from that Dr. Spok show – is that Star Trek I think! lol I like to use a light hand and keep it looking as if it could be natural (but they're not) sort of thing
It looks like a really good one – havent' tried that one
I want to try that Benefit Kabrow! I have their other brow product – in the palette form and it's fantastic. I bought one for my daughter I loved it so much so I'm keen to try their other product for brow too.
