Maybelline Fashion Brow Pomade Crayon for Eyebrow
Partnership with Maybelline
From RM22.60

Maybelline’s Fashion Brow Pomade Crayon is unlike conventional pomade fashion. In terms of convenience, this pomade is much easier to use because there’s no hassle in carrying a separate tool for application. In fact, it’s pomade that’s made into a crayon form!

While great for filling in sparse areas, the only setback is that you may find it a little difficult to shape your brows with especially if you’re into clean and highly defined eyebrows.

Benefit Cosmetics Ka-BROW! Eyebrow Cream-Gel Color

From RM131

Benefit Ka-BROW! is slightly drier in terms of its formula as compared to other brow pomades. As a matter of fact, it has a powdery finish which is unusual given that it’s essentially a cream-to-gel eyebrow colour. Nonetheless, the formula makes a very good brow filler specifically on oily skin.

The best affordable brow pomade has to be L.A. Girl’s because it allegedly has a very similar texture to the infamous Dipbrow Pomade by Anastasia Beverly Hills. In terms of its formula, its formula helps to keep brows in place while staying fade and smudge-proof as well as water-resistant.

Kat Von D products are known for their excellent lasting power, especially ever since a review on their Tattoo Liner went viral. The 24-Hour Super Brow is just as same, with a high-intensity brow pomade that’s budge-proof and waterproof. It comes in a variety of artistic shades that double as an eyeliner to achieve a loud and fun look.

The rule of thumb for filling in brows for black mane is to never use the exact same shade as your hair. This is simply because it will look too bold and won’t appear natural. To avoid that, try using a colour that’s 2-3 shades lighter than your black hair. Conversely, use a darker colour for your brows if you have lighter hair. 

For our recommendation, this waterproof Pretty Vulgar’s Rising Arc Eyebrow Gel in Twisted Tale is the perfect dark brown with a cool undertone shade for black hair. It’s a universal brown that suits most black hair users.

L’Oreal Brow Artist Brow Pomade

From RM39.56

At a glance, the Brow Artist Brow Pomade really looks like the infamous Benefit’s Ka-Brow! and it actually is a dupe of it. Besides having similar packagings, these 2 also share a very comparable formula, except that L’Oreal is offering a friendlier price tag for their formula. 

The built-in brush comes super handy for especially when you’re constantly on-the-go. If you find the handle too short to grasp, you can easily extend it by flipping the brush and lock it down on the cap of the pomade.
