Eyebrow Pomade 101: Secret Trick!

3/07/2016
 

I've had my Anastasia Beverly Hills for years.. When I first got it I really love how this magic formula make your eyebrow really on point. But after a while I notice that the product start to dry, not as creamy as it use to be. The product not glide as smooth as it used to. That's only after a couple weeks. And, did I mention, that I always scoop the product with spatula and keep the pot closed tightly. Still the product continue drying and became hard to work with.

After a while I finally learn how to applied it the right way, and fall in love again with brow pomade.




1. Use Spatula
I always use clean spatula to scoop enough product. Then quickly closed the lid tightly so the product doesn't exposed to air for a long time and dry.

2. Always use clean brush to apply
You need to make sure that brush use to apply the pomade totally clean. If you use dirty brush with dry pomade left on the brush would make the product clump and do not apply perfectly. My favorite brush to apply, Masami Shuoko 308 Angle Brush Silver (disc 20% with visa in store). Thank you Irene for introduced this wonderful brush to me.

3. Prepare your eyebrow!
Trim and cut your eyebrow. Strand that stick out won't make your eyebrow shape clean and sharp. Comb your eyebrow with spoolie or disposable mascara wand. This would make the hairs more neat and product glides easily. (P.S. You could find cheaper disposable mascara wand in Hero, Giant or Guardian.)

4. Draw the outline with pencil
 If you are not yet a pro using Eyebrow pomade I would suggest you to draw the outline with pencil. Make sure your pencil is super sharp. I use Viva Cosmetic Eyebrow Pencil in Brown. I would run over the eyebrow pomade on top of pencil sketch when I fill. If you use matching eyebrow pencil you only need to fill inside the line.

5. Load the product on the side of brush
 You need to load the product on the side of brush, not on tip of brush. loading the product on the side of brush will keep the brush tip sharp. if you load the product on the tip of brush, the product would expand the brush make it less sharp when you apply later.


6. Test the product on the back of your hand
After you load the product on brush you need to make sure that the product distribute evenly on the brush and the brush tip more sharp. Pressed and swipe the side of brush
7. Do it at once, no go over!
 If you try to go over after you applied a layer there's a chance you would messed up and end up with patchy eyebrow.



8. Comb through the brows
After you applied, comb through the brow to make the brow look softer and blend the product beautifully.


9. Use Brow powder or eye shadow to fill in patches
If you still find patches, try to go over sometimes didn't help. Try to fix it by using eyebrow powder or eyeshadow.

10. If everything fails, try mixing medium
If you tried every moves I told you. Try to scoop product and mix it with couple drops of mixing medium (Make Up Forever Aqua Seal or Inglot Duraline). This will bring your pomade back to life and easier to work with.

Udah lama banget punya  Anastasia Beverly Hills  Dipbrow pomade. Pas pertama kali pake suka banget sama formulanya yang bikin alis jadi bener-bener on point. Tapi lama-kelaman pomadenya jadi kering dan ngga se-creamy seperti dulu. Pomadenya ngga sehalus sebelumnya. Itu cuma dalam hitungan minggu dan setiap kali pake selalu ambil pake spatula secukupnya dan tempatnya ditutup rapet. Tetep aja pomadenya kering dan jadi susah makenya.
Setelah many error and trial, akhirnya ngerti gimana cara yang benar buat mengaplikasikan brow pomade dengan benar dan jatuh cinta lagi sama produk ini.
1. Pakai Spatula
Aku selalu pake spatula bersih buat ambil pomade secukupnya. Terus tutup rapat tempatnya biar ngga keanginan dan kering.

2. Selalu pakai uas bersih
Kamu harus pastiin kalau kuas yang kamu pakai untuk mengaplikasikan pomade benar-benar bersih. Kalau pakai kuas yang kotor, terutama kalau kuasnya ada sisa pomade yang udah mengering, bakal bikin pomadenya berbutir dan ngga halus saat digunakan. Brush favorit aku buat pakai pomade adalah Masami Shuoko 308 Angle Brush Silver (disc 20% with visa in store). Thank you buat Irene yang udah ngasih tau brush ini ke aku.

3.Rapiin Alis
Rapiin dulu alisnya, setiap helai alis yg nongol bakal bikin bentuknya ngga rapi. Sisir alisnya sesuai arah pertumbuhan pake spoolie (kuas yg bentuk skrup buat pake mascara) atau bekas kuas mascara (yang bersih ya sis). Kalau alisnya udah rapi, pake pomadenya juga jadi gampang. (P.S. bisa beli disposable mascara wand murah di Hero, Giant or Guardian. Pernah beli isi 5 cuma sekitar 15 000 IDR)

4. Gambar bentuk yg diinginkan pakai pensil alis
Kalau belum pro pake eyebrow pomade-nya sangat disarankan buat bikin sketsa bentuk alis yg diinginkan pakai pensil alis. Pastiin pensilnya tajem jadi bisa bikin garis yang rapi. Biasanya aku pake Viva Cosmetic Eyebrow Pencil warna Brown (coklat). Terus garisnya ditimpa pake pomadenya baru isi bagian dalemnya. Kalau pakai pensil alis yang warnanya udah matching  sama pomadenya bisa langsung diisi.

5. Ambil pomade pakai sisi-sisi kuas
 Saat mengambil pomade dengan kuas usahakan menggunakan sisi samping yg pipih bukan di atas kuasnya. Kalau mengambil pomade pakai ujung atas bikin kuasnya ngembang dan pengaplikasian pomade jadi kurang presisi.


6. Cobain dulu di tangan
Setelah pomadenya diambil pake kuas, dicobain dulu di tangan biar pomade yang ada di kuas tersebar merata. Posisikan kuas pada sisi samping (pipih) kemudian diusapkan diatas tangan.
7. Jangan ditambahin
Kadang saat mau nambahin biar tebel, kadang lapisan pomade yang baru ditambahin malahan ngangkat lapisan yang pertama malahan bikin alis nya jadi bolong-bolong.



8. isir alis untuk membaurkan
Setelah pomade digunakan, sisir lagi menggunakan kuas sekrup. Langkah ini membantu untuk membaurkan garis-garis kasar dan pomade yang belum rata, jad eyebrow kelihatan lebih natural


9. Pakai Eyebrow Powder atau Eyeshadow buat mengisi bagian yg kosong
Daripada resiko nambahin dan bikin alis jadi bolong-bolog bisa diakalin dengan mengisi bagian yang bolong pakai eyebrow powder atau eyeshadow yg sewarna.

10.Kalau masih gagal, coba pake mixing medium
Kalau tips yang diatas masih ngga bikin pomadenya jadi cantik. Coba ambil pakai spatula dan campur dengan beberapa tetes mixing medium (Make Up Forever Aqua Seal or Inglot Duraline). Cara ini bakal bikin pomadenya lebih halus dan mudah diaplikasikan.
