Eyebrows have become such a huge thing in the beauty world these past few years, many brands have released their take on dipbrows and I love it. It took me such a long time to work out what products worked best for me and when I found this little gem from Makeup Revolution I was so excited to go home and try it out. To me, this eyebrow pomade is a dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow. Lets get on with the review...
I was quite surprised with the formula of this brow pomade as I had tried one before and it was so stiff and difficult to use that I gave up, however the formula of the Makeup Revolution one is amazing, it is the right mixture of creamy but stiff enough to not be too messy when applying and it just glides on to your brows! I feel like the formula makes it so easy to apply to your brows and honestly it has saved me so much time, I can do my eyebrows in 2 minutes now instead of 10. You can define, shape and fill in your brows with so much ease, it's amazing.
How I like to apply this is by picking up a tiny amount of product with my brush and start at the tail end of my brow, working in small strokes and normally just one dip into the pot is all I need to do one brow, I try to not pick up a lot of product because these kind of products can make it easy to go wrong haha! I find that using a little amount makes my brows look really nice and natural looking. Adding a tiny bit more product just further defines them and makes them look slightly more dramatic. On the other hand, with the formula being so creamy, it is easy to make little mistakes but with using a cotton tip you can wipe those away.
I always set my brows with some brow gel when I'm done but to be honest, you could probably get away with not doing that with this product as I find it dries down quite matte on me, but with setting them with a brow gel then you know that they're not going to budge the whole day. The longevity is pretty good, I find that it lasts all day and my brows stay in place and don't transfer or smudge.
The little box that this pomade comes in also has a small double ended brush with it. Now, I normally hate the brushes that come with eyeshadow palettes and eyebrow products but, this brush is not bad at all. It is a little on the small side but I think it is perfect for keeping in your handbag or makeup bag during the day and if you do need to touch up your brows, voila you have the perfect brush to do so. On the one end it has an angled brush and the other is a more rounded end brush which you could use for touching up concealer etc.
This Makeup Revolution Eyebrow Pomade has 2.5g of product in the pot which is nearly half of what you get from the ABH one (4g). However, you do not need a lot of this product at all and it will last you such a long time. For £6 I think that is such a good price and hey, you get a little travel sized brush to take with you! You can grab this from selected Superdrug stores or online here. Overall, I think that if you are on a budget and can't afford to pay nearly £20 for the ABH Dip Brow then this is a great alternative, with a fantastic forumal and great price too. I don't think I will go back to any other brow product!

I'm glad there is an affordable version of the ABH pomade, i've been tempted to purchase it for awhile but have wanted to try another drugstore alternative first. So glad to hear this works well! Thanks so much for this review, you're a gem!
