Eyebrows - they can make or break a face!
In my opinion, brows need to be cared for, and paid attention to, just as much as any other part of your face when doing your make up.
So today I will be comparing/discussing/swatching my two favourite brow products EVER.
Both are from the fabulous Anastasia Beverly Hills brand, but I have reservations on both!
Dipbrow Pomade - £15
Possibly the weirdest product I've ever put on my brows - this is essentially a gel liner for your eyebrows, weird right?
I have two shades - Medium Brown & Dark Brown
To be honest, there isn't much difference between the two shades, and I would say if you have medium - dark brown hair these will suit you to the ground.
Now I don't actually have solid medium brown hair - I have blonde and caramel highlights throughout, although I can still easily use both colours!
The medium brown is a cool-toned brown, this would be perfect for ash brown or medium brown hair colours.
Dark brown is a warmer, rich brown shade - this would suit medium to dark brown, but with warmer tones in the hair.
So, what do I think of the dipbrow pomade?
The texture is quite thick, but creamy, and it's best to use a super thin brow brush with these.
The product can go on quite heavily, although it is very easy to sheer out. Creating a defined shape is ideal with this product, and it can make your brows look amazing!
Pros
It's waterproof, and smudge-proof - I mean it really doesn't budge. I've applied this at 8am, and it's still completely intact at 8pm.
You can achieve amazing results! I use a very thin brow brush, and I find you can create really shaped and sculpted eyebrows.
It will last forever - Ok, maybe not forever, but you get the idea! You only need a small amount, so it can potentially last a very long time.
Cons
It's time consuming - This definitely isn't a product to use when you're in a rush. You need time and precision to make this work, although the results are worth it.
If you use too much, there are consequences - Sounds silly, but I find if you're ever a bit heavy handed, you end up looking like this...
Brow Wiz - £15.50
Now Brow Wiz is your more typical brow product.
It is a dual applicator, with a pencil on one end, and a spooley on the other.
This product is great if you're after a more natural finish.
I find the pencil creamy and pigmented, and you only need a light hand to achieve a full brow.
I have mine in Medium Brown, which is slightly warmer-toned than the dipbrow pomade.
This product has a lighter, feathery feel compared to the dipbrow. I find creating movement at the front of my brow really easy, and you can use the spooley to blend the product.
What do I think of the brow wiz?
The soft pencil is great for quickly filling in the brows, and this product seems to last a full working day too.
Pros
Very easy to use - The pencil is really thin, but has a buttery texture, so creating hair strokes and filling in is so easy!
Takes no time at all - This is my go-to product for work brows
Looks more natural - This definitely loooks more natural compared to the dipbrow
Cons
Harder to achieve sharper results - Because the pencil is softer, the overall effect is slightly softer, so creating a sharper line takes a little longer
So what do I prefer?
Honestly, I love them both the same.
I use Brow Wiz for everyday, and Dip brow for night outs (or when I have longer to get ready!)
They work beautifully together though! I use Dip Brow to shape, and Brow Wiz to fill in.
So what do you think?
Have you tried either of these?
Until next time,
