NYX Eyebrow Pencil Dark Brown (Retractable)



I'm never good at brow-ing, but I'm learning. I start buying few brow products to find the best one according to my liking. This NYX Eyebrow Pencil is one of them.

The pencil is retractable and in EP05 Dark Brown. It is 0.25g in weight and has two sides, one side is the pencil and the other side is the brush. It is not brand new when I took picture so it should be longer than that.




The price is affordable which is a plus for this product but it is a bit too pigmented for me. In terms of bold brow, this is a good thing. But it is difficult when it comes to create natural brow looks (maybe it is just because of my lack brow-ing skill). This color turns to be reddish brown on my skin.


The longetivity is not bad for eyebrow pencil. It can last up to 5 hours in normal combination skin before it start smudging or fading. When the weather is too hot or I work outdoor, it last only 3 hours so I prefer using it when I work in office.


This product can be cheaper alternative but it is unfortunately not my HG.


Thank you for reading.

Benefit High Brow Glow in Champagne Pink


This one is going home with me on first swatch on Benefit counter. I'm looking for highlighter pencil for my brow bone and I'm happy I found this.




This pencil contains 2.8g of product in champagne pink shade. It has black cap to protect the products. The wood is soft enough and easily sharpened.


Pigmentation is quite good, not too bold but visible. The color will suit most people from any skintone well. The texture is smooth and easy to blend. It last 5 hours on me. I apply directly to brow bone and blend using fingertips for more natural looks.


Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow no 30


I'm new to brow shaping.. The most difficult thing in make up for me is brow.. I'm so jealous when I see everybody has the perfect brow in their pictures. How many times I tried, how long I surf for tutorial through youtube, I never have the perfect brows I want. *sigh.. So please don't laugh at my picture.. Lol..

Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow is a small tube contains 7ml of product. I get shade no 30 which is in brown.

Let me compare with ABH Dipbrow Pomade. ABH is thicker and more pigmented than MUFE, but MUFE stays longer than ABH. 

Aqua Brows texture is not as thick as cream, but more to paste and glides smoothly on skin. 

It is waterproof but on humid weather sometimes it smudge at the worse scene. Actually it stays quite long, about 5-6 hours and the tip begin fading and need to retouch. But I believe it would stay longer on most people. It's me who wipes tissue on my sweaty face more often than most people.


In fact the stain stays all day long. Here I put some in the palm of my left hand in the morning at 9am and the stain is still there when I take a bath at 8pm. And this little baby goes a long way..

Need to have a good brush to  create near brow. Once again sorry for bad brow shaping.. Another product used is 3CE Brow Mascara.
