What they flagged

Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

What the gurus are saying

The pomade fills and lifts brows noticeably fuller and fluffier when applied down to the root, and gurus report it holds that shape throughout the day. Working it deep into the brow base rather than just combing through the surface seems to be key to getting the best hold and volume. It's earned a quick spot in their daily brow routines.

"Now with Merit's Pomade, I really enjoy the light coverage that it gives and it just makes my brows stand out, which you guys have informed me, and you are right that it's important to do your brows as you mature because they start to kind of fade away. And bringing them giving them a little bit of life, bringing them out kind of gives your face a nice frame and just kind of gives you a more refined look."

"The Brow Pomade I actually like. They're both in brown black just for kind of taming my lashes and darkening them up. It's a little bit more than I would consider a minimalist look, especially because of how dark this is. I actually don't feel like I need to come in with the brow pencil."

"I apply a little bit of pomade. This is by Merit in the color taupe. So I've been guilty of using grayish brow products. But it's also important to remember what the natural color of our brows were before we went gray. So they say that gives a more youthful look. So I'm going in with taupe today instead of the graphite color that I usually use."

"I'm going to go in with my Merit Brow Pomade in shade Blonde. I like this if you already have a decent amount of brow and you just maybe want a little bit of color and definitely some hold."

"This is the Merit volumizing Pomade. Any brow gel you need to get in there, you need to get to the root, you need to be digging down. Get to the root of that brow and brush it up. See how much bigger and fluffier my brows look? And that's going to give you a better hold over time. It's really filled in my brows. You don't just do the tips and think I want it to hold here. You try and get to the root, right to the base. You want to grip it right at the root."
