The Maybelline Brow Pomade sticks are brilliant! I don’t do a lot with my brows, mostly because they’re hidden under my fringe most of the time, but also because personally, I don’t like the very groomed look; I can’t imagine that kind of gleaming, brown, two seals thing on my face. However, my brows do need a bit of colour adjustment sometimes, depending upon where I am in the hair dye fade out!
The Maybelline Brow Pomade pencils are just the simplest little sticks to give a deeper colour and a little bit of flattening down, if needed. They’re very similar to the MAC Big Brow Pencils launching in March. Except these are £5.99 each and I’m making an educated guess that MAC’s won’t be! The texture is lightly waxy, not greasy, and depending on what effect you want, light sweeps instantly define. I use a spoolie straight afterwards as a brush through, but if I was rushing, I probably wouldn’t even bother with that. If you’re not going for a feathery sweep in-fill or your brows aren’t sparse, they’re such a doddle, although obviously if you do need more precision, a brown pencil with a finer end will be of more use.
Maybelline Brow Pomade is a great budget buy – nothing not to like; oh, and they’re self sharpening (just twist the bottom). All my links are broken today (being fixed asap) but these are on Superdrug, buy one get one half price.

These look great but I wonder if they are longlasting…….? Don’t want them to fade away or rub off……!
YES PLEASE! You really are a treasure trove for no bs kinda beauty! Thanks!
Is it me, or do those colors look like they run warm? Kiko cosmetics have had a pencil in this form since last year – I have the lightest one & it’s terrific as it’s ashy enough to look natural. They are super easy to use, perfect for mornings when I’m running late….
I love Kiko but didn’t realise they made a chunky brow pencil too……will have to check that one out!
These look intriguing as I’ve never tried a ‘chunky’ brow product
These look very cool toned, I can be very lazy with my eyebrows so these might be perfect for me!
Great idea 🙂 need to try she next in Superdrug 🙂 so many great lunches this month 🙂

I think I would have to watch a tutorial, they look terrifyingly big and crayon-like to me. I would hate to have Scouse brow. Might give them a try though as most reviews I have read have been so positive, thank you for posting about them!

Ah I totally want to try one of these! I’m not 100% sure on how precise I’d be able to be with them, but the formula, colour choices and price look amazing!
