After hearing about so many great reviews and reading that it is a ‘award-winning’ pomade, I decided to purchase my own Anastasia beverly hills dipbrow pomade granite, which is the name of the shade I picked, to see what all the fuss was about.
I was used to using pencil brow products as well as the quick and easy brow gel so a change was definitely needed as well and it was going to be exciting.

Let’s see what Anastasia Beverly hills says about this product:
“The long-lasting, buildable formula glides on smoothly to skin and hair and allows time for blending before drying down completely to a matte finish”.
Now I’m going to go through the best things about this eyebrow gel and the parts which I didn’t like. You ready?
Let’s crack on!

Quick overview:
Pros
- Easy and smooth application
- Long lasting
- Great pigmentation
Cons
- Formula dries quickly if you don’t shut the pot properly
- Would be cool if there were more shades available for example colours for blonde hair.
How easy is it to apply?
I haven’t really used any other type of brow product apart from the pencil ones, so at the first few tries I wasn’t expecting to get my eyebrows on fleek that quick.
So when I did apply it and found it really easy and the first/second round result satisfied me enough that I can wear it outside that’s when I knew this pomade was going to become my best friend.
So I found overall it’s really simple and goes down well, it sure does ‘glide on smoothly to skin and hair’ just like Anastasia say.
For those of you who are used to doing your eyebrows using pencil mostly like me, then using an angled brush lightly is the best way and the most similar. And since the Anastasia eyebrow pomade is highly pigmented, only a small amount is required, less is certainly more with this abh dip brow!
Lastage
The product lasting long enough is really important especially when you go somewhere where you aren’t able to check up on your makeup every now and then.
That ment I had to test this pomade a few times in varied weathers and conditions.
One of those days I chose to use this product was a hot day, a 35 degree Celsius heat! So when I checked the mirror I was met with a shiny brow after 7 and a half hours which I’m happy with.
I wasn’t expecting any less as I have an oily forehead and the weather combined was surely going to show the gels weaker side.
If you do have oily or combination skin then using a powder will definitely help elongate the ‘long-lasting’ feature.
As for an average day it lasted more than long enough, around 9 hours, but that’s because I decided to wipe it off so it’s certainly capable of more.
As for how long the whole product lasts, I’m yet to still finish the whole pot. But I’m sure it would get through at least 10 months to a year as a little does go a long way for this pomade.
Usage
Like Anastasia mentions you can rely on this pomade for any brow looks. Whether that be a natural hair look on your brow or a full on dramatic look. It really helps you achieve everything.
As I have brows that aren’t too sparse neither to thick I use it to add angle and sometimes fill in to make them look bold and I can say it does an amazing job.
The dark brown shade is the best match for my brows though at first I was initially going to go for the granite shade which is ideal for black hair with cool undertones. I don’t have black hair however I have a cool undertone and was wondering how that would look against my skin!
The dark brown shade is the recommended shade for individuals with dark brown hair that have warm undertones. I would say it still fits cool undertones well since I am happy with the results, I mean it doesn’t make me look washed out so I guess it’s well.
This pomade has a high pigmentation so you don’t need to keep dabbing in the pot to get colour on.
Any improvements?
I think the Anastasia Beverly hills dipbrow pomade is awesome but there are one or two problems in my opinion that solving it would make it even cooler.
The colour range consists of 11 shades which is a decent amount but they are aimed at mainly medium brown shades so adding in a bunch of lighter shades would be nice.
The other thing is the formula does start to dry in the pot more so if you keep opening and closing it or if you forget to close it your going to end up with a hard gel overtime. So don’t forget!
Overall
I think this product is best for those of you who have little to no eyebrows or sparse hair. But really anyone would love it, I’m an example! I would give it an overall rating of 9/10!
If you need a long-lasting, smooth and natural filling in look than I definitely recommend this awesome brow pomade.

I enjoyed your review, but would love to know where I can get myself some of this dip brow pomade. I don’t see any links to click on your page, so I wonder if you can recommend the best place to buy it?
I think I will far prefer using this product to battling with a brow pencil, which I can never get to look natural.

Hey mlchel sorry about the link, I’ll get that fixed!
As for purchasing, you can directly buy from Anastasia’s site , they ship to a lot of countries worldwide. It is also available on Amazon which maybe more cost friendly.
Brow pomades definitely have stronger pigments plus you don’t need to sharpen them too!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hey
Hey,
its kinley I liked your product on Anastasia. Really felt like worth going through because you have shared all your experience that could develop the connection. As you have said it does goes same to wife as I have discussed with my wife. This days it’s difficult to get it directly from the shop as my country goes under unplanned lockdown so I think it’s better to order from your site, so that it benifits both you and my wife. My wife go happy to see the review for your product because she always thought of trying it once.
Sariyah
Hi, thanks for stopping by!
Lockdowns can be unpredictable, thankfully where I’m at we are out of that stage, well for the moment at least! Hopefully things become better where you are!
I think ordering online is probably your best option especially with your circumstances. You can head directly to Anastasias site or either amazon if you are interested in purchasing.
Glad your wife found this useful! Happy to help!

Many thanks for this valuable post. My girlfriend is really interested in these things. I think she will be very happy to see this post. And she will definitely try this. Also I enjoyed your product on Anastasia. It seemed worthwhile to go through because you revealed all of your experiences that may help strengthen the relationship. Because it is really easy to apply. Keep posting like this.

I do not normally wear any eyebrow makeup as I do not like using an eyebrow pencil. I always feel that it is stretching my skin. So using a dipbrow pomade that comes in the form of a gel, could be a good solution for me.
I am not familiar with the Anastasia Beverley Hills brand, and with a sensitive skin, I am always looking for makeup made with natural or organic ingredients. So is this an eco-friendly brand that uses natural and organic ingredients? Or is the dipbrow pomade made with chemicals? Thank you for clarifying.
Sariyah
Hey Line thanks for stopping by!
Gels are much softer and I believe some how a cool feel to them. As for Anastasia, I wouldn’t say it is a organic nor natural brand, if you’d like to check out brands which exclusively offer natural products using pure ingredients then I highly recommend you check out here!

Thanks for this review of the dipbrow pomade. I normally use pencils to define my brows, but would be open to other products if they achieved a better result… in fact, I purchased a pomade to try and based on your review, I think that I received a product that was old or expired because it was already dried out. I had a lot of trouble with the application due to this, and since I was new to it all, I thought that it was a user error.
Very interesting, thanks!
Sariyah
Hey thanks for stopping by Aly
I appreciate that you used my post to form a decision! I think the product most likely could’ve been expired or maybe left open as a good pomade isn’t dry, it’s usually a nice smooth and creamy consistency, maybe try taking it back and asking for a refund or exchange if it was purchased like that.
Have a great day!

I have been using Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade Granite for over a year, and I am still in love with it. It lasts all day and is easy to apply. The brush is great for blending the product, and it feels really smooth on my skin (and hair!). Anastasia Beverly Hills is always a quality product, and this one does not disappoint.
Brendon
I don’t have any personal experience using this product personally as I have never utilized anything to augment my eyebrows, but this is a nice personal review of your experience with the product. That definitely lends some credence to your post! I will definitely point my wife in the direction of this product.

I must say that I am drawn to your reviews because of your details. One of those things my wife goes out for in selecting a pomade is the ease of application and how long it lasts. I like to see her apply her pomade gently. A pomade that comes with as many as 11 shades and last for as long as 9 hours is good enough, and we will also give Anastasia Beverly a trial.

Iv’e saw my sister using an Anastasia eye brows product and then iv’e rented from her the other day, lol. . However, I am very interested in these things and i like to order them for myself only lol. here is something that I know and something a little I can provide some general information about the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip-brow Pomade in the shade “Granite.”
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip-brow Pomade is a popular product among makeup enthusiasts, known for its long-lasting formula and ability to create defined, sculpted eyebrows. “Granite” is one of the shades available in the range and is specifically designed for those with dark hair, particularly black or deep brown.
I know for a fact Many users appreciate the Dip-brow Pomade for its creamy consistency, which allows for precise application and easy blending. The formula is also waterproof and smudge-proof, making it suitable for all-day wear and resistant to sweat or humidity.
However, it’s important to note that individual experiences with makeup products can vary. Preferences for eyebrow products, including pomades, can be subjective depending on factors such as personal style, skin type, and desired results. Some people may find the Pomade to be a perfect match for their needs, while others might prefer alternative products or different application techniques.

Great post! Very thorough and I like that you included pictures that give me a better look at how the product actually looks on the skin and to see it in action helps. I usually would only use a pencil on my brow but am always open to trying new things and this is something that looks like I might be able to easily use. Thanks for the review.
Tugrul
this is a great review. I am obviously a man with no intention of using it 🙂 however, I may consider to buy it for my wife. your post clearly explains the product and it gives the details for who would consider buying it. thank you very much!
Your personal insights, particularly about the ease of application and the product’s lasting power, provide valuable information for readers considering this product. Their mention of testing the product in different conditions, like high heat, adds to the credibility and thoroughness of the review.

Hey Sariyah,
I have thoroughly read your review of Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade, and I appreciate your balanced perspective on this popular beauty product. Your review discussed the product’s pros and cons, such as its easy application, great pigmentation, and the formula’s tendency to dry out if not sealed properly. Your discussion about the range of shades available is fascinating, and your call for a wider variety of significantly lighter shades, which would make the product more inclusive, is commendable. Your experience adds depth to the review, making it relatable for readers with similar concerns or preferences. You have also provided a detailed breakdown of the product’s application technique, lasting power, and versatility in creating different brow looks, making it a valuable read for anyone considering this pomade. Thanks for this great piece.

This review provides such a helpful, detailed look at the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Granite! It’s great to hear how smoothly it applies, especially for those of us more familiar with brow pencils. The long-lasting wear sounds perfect for full days out, and it’s so practical to know that a little product goes a long way. I appreciate the tips about using powder for oily skin types, too, since lasting power can be a big concern in warm weather.
The only downside seems to be the drying out of the formula if not tightly sealed, but it sounds like a solid option for anyone looking to enhance their brows naturally or go bold with ease. Thanks for sharing such an honest review!
