Brow pomade
A dense waterproof cream applied with an angled brush.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca. Part of the Brows guide.
When to use it
When the shape must survive heat and a long evening.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
The right choice for a Moroccan wedding, where a pencil alone moves.
The rule that runs through every product on this site: check undertone, not just depth. Most Moroccan skin is olive or golden, and a neutral or pink-based product greys within the hour however precisely the depth matches. And for any long event, set in thin successive passes rather than one heavy layer — accumulated product slides in coastal humidity, while product laid down thinly stays.
What it will not do
Subtlety in an unpractised hand. It deposits far more than a pencil.
The most common mistake
Filling rather than building. Take almost nothing on the brush and build.
