Nyx Micro Brow Pencil


There has been a lot of talk going on in the makeup community about the Nyx Micro Brow Pencil and I have been wanting to get my hands on it for a couple of weeks now but my local Ulta was sold out of it until yesterday! I was able to pick up the Nyx Micro Brow Pencil and after swatching several different colors I chose Taupe. Currently I am using Too Faced Brow Envy ($39) brow powder along with Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pomade ($18) is Soft Brown. When I heard about the Nyx pencil I knew I had to pick it up! It is only $9.99 at Ulta and Nyx has never let me down, so I figured hey why not try it out?

The Nyx Micro Brow Pencil has sleek packaging in black and white and comes in 7 different colors. When I did swatch the browns all did come off very similar. The color I chose taupe comes off as a nice rich medium brown. This pencil is double ended, with one end being the automatic pencil and the other end being a spoolie. The weight of this product is 0.003oz or 0.09g.





The pencil end is automatic so there is no worry to have to sharpen it and just like the name “Micro” that is exactly what it is! This pencil is amazing! I stopped using eyebrow pencils awhile back but with this I am definitely going to be using it! The micro pencil lets you get into your eyebrow and draw even the tiniest of detail. It makes it look very natural, precise and blendable! This pencil paired with the Too Faced brow powder makes your eyebrows look amazing and stay in place all day long! There has been no smudging of any sort after over 10 hours of wear!  I have only used this product twice but I am already in love! The spoolie on the opposite end of the pencil is nice but it is a little big for my liking. It won’t get much to use for myself, unless I  am on the run and need to do a touch up and do not have my eyebrow kit with me.

Overall, I am highly impressed with this Nyx Micro Brow Pencil and it will become part of my everyday brow routine! I am so glad I made this purchase and once again Nyx has done it and made a product I will buy again and again! This pencil is highly affordable and I definitely recommend it! Have you tried this pencil yet? What are your thoughts?

    1. I do not have the Brow Wiz so I can not compare it but I have heard it is a dupe. I was not into using pencils until this one and really love it but t think that I need to pick up a darker color.
