New Kid on the Block: Australis Incredi-Brow Eyebrow Pomade

Hello my friends!

I’m back with another review – a makeup review this time! Feels like it’s been a while since I’ve done one. Today I’ll be reviewing the new brow pomade from Australis. I’ll be honest, I’ve never bought something this fast. This brow pomade launched last week and I wanted to get my hands on it to try out. Usually when new products come out I refrain from buying because I already have so many unopened products (if you’ve seen my stories, you’ll know what I’m talking about). However, as I tend to use brow products a lot, that’s probably the other makeup product I don’t have an extra of, hence my recent purchase. Anyways, let’s get to it!

I purchased this from Priceline, it retails for $14.95AUD which isn’t too bad I suppose. It is 1.5g and comes in three colours – I got Dark. I’ve never used a brow pomade before either, but I thought maybe something like this would be a nice way to ease into pomades.

Build and define

Contains an angled brush for maximum precision and definition. Perfect for shaping and sculpting the sharpest brows.

Perfectly precise brows

Make your brows speak louder than words with our long wearing, highly-pigmented and waterproof eyebrow pomade.

This pomade:

• Has a six month expiry date once opened
• Is made in Taiwan
• Is vegan friendly
• Isn’t tested on animals

Directions:

Using the included angled brush, fill in brows using small, hair-like strokes outlining first followed by filling and defining to desired results.

Ingredients:

CYCLOMETHICONE, CERESIN, CANDELILLA CERA, CETYL ALCOHOL, ISODODECANE, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, PHENOXYETHANOL. MAY CONTAIN: BLACK IRON OXIDE / CI 77499, YELLOW IRON OXIDE / CI 77492, RED IRON OXIDES / CI 77491, TITANIUM DIOXIDE / CI 77891, FD&C YELLOW No.5 / CI19140:1, FD&C RED No. 40 / CI 16035, MICA / CI 77019

First impressions:

It has really simple packaging on the outside, mostly black and white. The actual pomade comes in a pen form, one side has the brush and the other has the pomade. The brush is quite small to give a more precise brow. The formula lives up to its claims of smudgeproof, it will not budge unless you really forcefully try to wipe it off. It’s quite waterproof as well.

I found the formula to be quite soft which makes it easier to work with, however I had some difficulty in ‘spreading’ it around. I tried to outline my brow first, then I went to fill it in, but the outline dried quite fast and I had difficulty in trying to add more product to soften out my brow.

The good:

• Pigmented

Yep, it’s definitely pigmented. The shade Dark is more like a dark brown, and if you add more when you’re doing your brows, you can kind of intensify the darkness.

• Waterproof and smudge proof

Amazing things to have in brow products, nothing worse than going out in the rain and your eyebrows melt off haha.

• Convenient

The packaging makes this convenient to take anymore + touch up on the go if needed.

• Decent formula

The formula is good so far, though I have found some faults which I left below.

The bad:

• Brush

So after every use I’d recommend washing the brush because it can get quite dirty delaying the cleaning and then you won’t have precise brows because of the brush. Another issue with the brush is it tends to fray (?) a bit after you wash it more – not ideal.

• Cleaning the brush

As I mentioned above, wash it after every use. I found it to be a bit hard to clean as well. I recommend using some isocol to clean it after use, then when you have more time, clean it properly with water and a cleanser.

• Hard to spread

Maybe I can’t get it right because I’ve never used pomades or because of the brush and need more practice, but yeah, it’s kind of hard to spread the product out. Especially when I was trying to use less product at the front of my brows, it was a bit hard to work with.

Overall:

I think this is a pretty decent brow pomade, overall the formula is good and what you’d look for in a brow product. As I mentioned I did find somethings just weren’t working for me. I will keep trying with this and hopefully get better at it. I think this would be a nice affordable introduction to pomades if you’ve never used it before, or if you’re already a pro with pomades then definitely get this if you’re looking for something quick and easy to use that’s travel-friendly because it’s 2 in 1. I will also say this is a very affordable option among other brow pomades in the market!

That’s all I have for this week, would love to know your experiences with brow pomades – let me know below!

Have a great week!

With love,
