If 2026 is the new 2016, it makes sense that everyone is back to obsessing over brows. But if you’re currently Googling the best eyebrow pencil or eyebrow pomade and feeling overwhelmed, Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade is the product that keeps coming up for a reason.

Dipbrow is a full-pigment, waterproof pomade that comes in 11 shades and dries to a soft matte finish. The texture glides over both hair and skin, which is a big deal if you’re trying to define your brows without dragging a pencil across the delicate eye area and every fine line you’ve ever earned. It’s built to be long-lasting and smudge-resistant, so you’re not redrawing tails at 3 p.m.

One 71-year-old reviewer, in a review titled “Best Brows Ever,” explained that she has pale blonde brows and found pencils “ghastly,” but “this cream is a perfect color” and, with the right small, stiff brush, “makes my brows fit right in with my beautifully colored dark hair.” She advises working in light layers and keeping a spoolie handy to blend and fix any heavy spots instead of scrubbing everything off.

For anyone worried this tried-and-true eyebrow pomade will feel fussy compared to a pencil, shoppers say the opposite. “This is best dip brow pomade I’ve ever used. It goes on smooth. Doesn’t easily smudge. Will last for a few days without reapplying,” one fan wrote. Another review titled “So easy to use!” raved that it’s “smooth, sets nicely, and lasts all day,” and that “a little goes a LONG way… only a few taps on the product for one brow.”

Oily-skin and sweat-prone brows get their own love letters. One shopper with oily skin who lives in Miami said, “This lasts ALL day and my brows still look as perfect as when I first did them at the end of the day.” Another admitted, “Let’s just say I’ve taken naps with it still on and with little or no touch up when I wake up!” If your jar ever feels a bit dry, a tiny drop of hydrating oil revives the formula instead of forcing you back to a scratchy pencil.

Shade match is another reason people pick this over other options. A reviewer of Asian descent with dark skin shared that the Ebony shade “works great” and stays put on oily skin. A dark-skinned shopper with 1B hair called the same shade “the perfect color” and appreciated that it doesn’t look ashy or grey. The pigment is strong but buildable, so you can sketch hair-like strokes or go for sharper definition without overwhelming your features.

And then there’s the value factor. In a review titled “One jar lasts so long,” one shopper said they were told it would last a year and confirmed, “They were so right… It glides on… and gives me those model-level arches.” Another summed it up: “I have tried so many different brow dips and always come back to this one! It’s my holy grail can’t live without!!!”

So if your search for the right eyebrow pencil or pomade has turned into a full-time hobby, Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow might be the 2016-energy, 2026-proof brow product you actually stick with. One tiny jar, one good brush, and you can see if “best brows ever” holds up on your own face.
