frameworker™ brow pomade

Tarte frameworker™ brow pomade is the heavy-duty end of brow products: a creamy, pigmented pot you apply with a brush to outline, define and fill. Tarte designed it to work whether you have plenty of brow hair or very little, and rates the wear at 24 hours.

What it actually does

• Builds a defined outline. Because you control the brush, you draw the shape rather than following whatever the brow already does.
• Fills sparse areas with real pigment. The formula is creamy and dense, so bare patches take colour the way a pencil often cannot.
• Stays put for 24 hours, per Tarte.
• Conditions the hair while it sits there. The brand includes babassu, which it says helps nourish brow hair.
• Vegan formula, as listed by Tarte.
• Scales to any brow. The product is positioned to work with a full brow or an almost hairless one — you decide how much structure to draw in.

How to use

1. Load an angled brow brush — Tarte pairs this with the fill service™ brow brush and spoolie for precision.
2. Outline the underside of the arch with a single line to establish the shape.
3. Flick upward from that line in soft, hair-like strokes, adding more layers only where you need them.
4. Comb through with the spoolie to blend the pomade into the hair and set the shape.
5. Carve the outer edge with a concealer and a flat precision brush if you want the sharpest version — Tarte suggests shape tape™ contour concealer for this.

Pomade rule: take far less product than you think, and build. A pomade is pigmented enough that a heavy first load is difficult to walk back.

Is it right for you?
