by Anastasia Beverly Hills · makeup
Editor's Take
A bottle of cyclic silicones and synthetic wax engineered to survive a hurricane, not a clean standards audit.

The Verdict
This is a performance-first brow pomade that prioritizes durability over every other metric. The formula locks pigment in place using a waterproof resin system and fast-evaporating solvents, delivering the smudge-proof, all-day wear the category demands. But the base is pure 1990s cosmetic chemistry: cyclic silicones, petroleum-derived hydrocarbons, a microplastic structuring agent, and a paraben preservative. It works exactly as advertised, but it's the antithesis of clean or sustainable formulation.
