NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Lift Snatch Eyebrow Tint Pen Espresso

(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 lol I 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 showering These 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 though You 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 skin I 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 Read more

I'm not going for unnatural, perfectly groomed eyebrows, although this product can certainly put a beautiful finishing touch on those, too. I have a skin condition that has resulted in inflammation with redness and loss of irregular, shifting patches of hair from my eyebrows. After putting a dab of concealer on the red spot, I can easily take this pen and draw in the missing brow hairs, and no one is the wiser. Before finding this product, I was using Wet n Wild black eyeliner with a really fine tip, but it was very difficult to control the amount of product, and easy to end up with thick, very intensely black lines. My hair is a dark brown with some grey in it, but eye products labeled "brown" are all too warm. It took me three tries to get the right color of this NYX Lift & Snatch pen. The Grey-Black was close, but not intense enough. The Ash Brown is decidedly cooler that any other brown I have used, and not bad, but a little too intense, and not as close a color match to my own eyebrows as the grey-black . The Black is just right. It is more of a brown-black, and has just the right amount of color saturation. Since I'm not doing my whole eyebrow, it's really important that the color match my brow hairs, and this one nails it. The pen is also very easy to control, unlike the eyeliner. With the right touch, I can match the thickness of the line to the thickness of my brow hairs. If I go lighter I can make it even finer, or I can go heavier and make it thicker. I don't know how waterproof it is, but I haven't had any problems with smudging, and as long as I don't pick at flaking skin, it lasts to the next day. It washes off easily in the shower. With any of these pens, as with Sharpies or any other felt tip marker, be sure to snap the cap on all the way and store with the tip down, to prevent the tip drying out prematurely. I love this product. Read more

This is so amazing and makes my brows look super realistic. The tip is perfect for creating hair-like strokes and it’s really easy to control. For the price, you honestly can’t beat it. I’ve tried more expensive brow products and this performs just as well (if not better). Definitely a staple in my routine. Read more
