NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUPLift & Snatch Eyebrow Tint Pen, Espresso

Truly how did I not know about this before. I have Trichotillomania which means I often have very few brows and have been drawing them on for years and years, constantly worried about how natural they look and if they will come off. This pen is the best thing ever and way easier to draw on, stays on very well, and looks so natural! I always thought that pens would be dark and thick but this color - Ash Brown (I have olive skin and dark brown hair), is so light and natural and is buildable in darkness. It's also sooo nice to just use this one thing instead of using the Anastasia pomade and brush and then a micro pencil to try to make it look clean and natural when it never looked that great and felt more smudgy. Can't say enough good things about this and it feels life changing!

(First pic is during first application, "after" pic is after about 8 hours of summer wear. I do not have eyebrows anymore, this is all product)I know that like, there are enough reviews of this lol. But I'm so happy with it so far that I'm reviewing it anyway in case it helps anyone with no eyebrows at all. I have basically none. I pull them out.The pics are on oily skin at maybe 3 p.m. and again after work at about 11 p.m. I bravely wore these to work even though it's 100°f outside and even though they might disappear or turn green. They didn't! I forgot to take a fully done pic but I wanted to show--there's basically no eyebrow, it's all pen except like 8 hairs lolI just got this pen today and I've used it one time. It's Espresso. It's summer now and I'm extremely oily even in the cold months. I started out with an oily face today, since I did brows in the afternoon. I didn't use any powder or primer or anything. I wasn't sweaty or damp when I put it on, just oily. It may be an issue using this in a humid room after showeringThese pics are way TMI for me lol but I wanted people to see how this works on textured/rough skin with no real hair, just like 5 o'clock black eyebrow shadow.The pen color is great, I have dark dark chestnut hair with a silver stripe and light light yellowish skin with red spots. It's almost my natural brow hair color.I usually use Wet n Wild micro pencils in brunette because it's such a good color and it's so hard for me to find stuff that works on my oily textured skin. But it is really hard to get the inside corners right, it can't do real hairline strokes, and it settles into my wrinkles and smears.The hair texture is giving CGI cat fur or turf, lol. But it's my first time doing it. My impression is that the brush is too soft. It's really hard to do straight strokes especially on my left side (I'm very right handed). They come out a little wiggly. Still 5000x better than usual thoughYou have to use a light hand; be mindful, intentional and slow; and start each "hair" in a strategic spot, you can't just randomly flick lol. I figured that out pretty quick but it's hard to control. Also I'd see a white spot/line I'd try to cover it and the soft brush would curve or bend and not cover the white spot. Like if you have any high spots the brush may go around them. I had to go back in and carefully cover white spots with like the very very very tiptop of the brush. But still, again, first time! And it took under 15 min. If you start the hairs in random spots instead of strategically it looks more bushy and grassy lol.They're definitely not perfect but you have no idea how much better they look, and the process is WAY less stressful and mistakes are easier to fix. It's way easier to draw on hairs than to try to ombre a wax pencil. It's way easier to manage the depth of the color by just adding hairs and covering more skinI wish so bad that it were waterproof!I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop lol so I'm guessing I'll have to come back and lower my rating but I'm really hoping not

So I absolutely love this product. In combo with elf brow gel - chefs kiss!! HOWEVER… depending on the day I either get a very dry pen that requires so much pressure I will press it to the back of my hand a few times to get it flowing or it will flow so loosely it’s literally dripping out. I’ve learned this genuinely just depends on which one you receive so I alternate storing them brush side up or down as needed. HOWEVER today my pen decided to do something new and though it was not leaking or bleeding with application when I went to close the lid it splattered all over my face and top! Pretty extensively I might add. This set my back this morning and made me very aware that in the future I should check the base of the brush/cap area prior to closing it now. Though it has been stored brush end up the entire area was covered with product that I could not see. I still love this pen and will continue to buy but I could appreciate a bit more consistency in what I’m getting. I also may wear something to cover my clothes when applying in the future.

This is the first brand of this type of product I've ever used but I've had good experience with it so far! I shave my eyebrows a little over half off and use this in Black finished off with the gray black for the beginning part and tails of my brows for a more natural and softer look. Sometimes the black bleeds from the container which feels like it wastes a lot of product but that's really the only downside. The tips of the brush are super fine and with a light hand, you can get very nice brush hair strokes. A light hand is absolutely crucial though cuz it's still very easy to put too much on and make it look noticeable. I definitely have bad eyebrow days still with this stuff though haha

I love this product! It lasted me for over four months of use. I not only use it for my brows, but I also use it to tight-line my eyes. It gives my lash line a darker, more defined look without looking like full eyeliner.

Brow liner arrived pretty dried out. Not completely but you have to press the bristles firmly in order to get enough product dispensed. The reason I’ve left 3✨s rather than 5⭐️s is because of how dried out it is. I would normally give this a 5⭐️ review because I do love it & it’s my go to for thin hair like strokes when filling in my sparse brows. I will be exchanging for he knew usable brow pen that hopefully will not arrived dried out.

It gets the job done but I don’t know how to use it properly as yet! I am practicing so hopefully I’ll get it soon. It’s a great product. So far I am liking it.

Very nice! I have tried them all and this looks natural and stays on!
