Nice try
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging was cute other than that the product itself preformed pretty poorly on myself but it was still worth trying. The pencil was not pigmented enough for me.

Hi there ToriW, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Blade & Shade Nano Brow Pencil. We love that you felt the product was worth trying, though we're disappointed to hear it performed below par for you. We strive for high-performance formulas, in this case, we’re aiming for a ‘natural’ brow look in color options from light blonde to black.

Great but little product
I LOVE this product but the downside is it doesn’t have alot of product. Lucky for me I dont do my makeup very often, maybe 3 times a month, so it doesnt bother me too much, but still definitely worth mentioning. The product is also pretty buildable if you want it darker but like I said i dont wear alot of makeup so I go lighter for a more natural look. i am wearing the color espresso

Needs better shades
I love the formula and how easy it is to use, the size is great for precision, my only qualm is that the jump between the shades espresso and black is pretty drastic, espresso is way too warm to use for dark brunettes and the brunette shade is too light, the espresso shade in the lift and snatch brow pen is completely different, much darker and cooler and perfect for those with very dark brown hair

Nice color
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the color. It has the brush on the other side. It is very convenience to use any where. Make your brown look very real and neutral. Make it look like your real hair.

Great Brow Pencil
I love this brow pencil! It goes on so good & easy to use. It stays on til I take it off at night. The pencil lasts a long time & is very inexpensive.

Color is way off
Idk if I got one from a bad batch or what.. but it’s unusable. I got brunette which is a dark espresso brown on their swatches in store (and I’ve bought this color in their other pencil type for years) expecting it to be a perfect match or slightly darker than my natural brows. I start to use it (straight on my brows ofc) and it’s BARELY a dirty blonde color. If this is the true color for brunette, they need to really re-do their color guide and I’d probably have to go straight to black!

color is off
it's a really nice brow pencil, great to make hair strokes but the color is so off.. I got espresso an it's a warm brown. Definitely doesn't match other espresso pencils I've gotten an doesn't match the color on the box.

I don’t like the product, the shades are too warm and I can never get hair like strokes with these

Super fine pencil, very natural makeup, however the tip crumbles. I wish I could use it because it looks amazing, but it crumbles before I can even apply it!

Little product
I love the formula and how easy it is to use and how long it lasts during my 12hr shifts but I don’t love how little product you get. If you do your eyebrows daily like I do it won’t last very long.

Not for me, but maybe for you!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pigmentation is slightly off from my personal preference color, but it was easy to apply and didn’t have a scent. The product is packaged nicely and very durable when using.

When the NYX Precision Brow Pencil appeared to be discontinued, I really wasn’t sure how I would replace that holy grail. I have thick eyebrows but sections that are more bare from over tweezing and I need something with a precise tip. The blade and shade might be even better than the precision. Instead of being long and flat, the tip is short, flat and angled. This really allows me to follow the curves of my natural brows to make an outline. I fill in only the tails with this product and then go in with a felt tip pen type product to create natural looking brush strokes in the inner portion of the brow. That’s very extra but I like how it looks. But I think you could get away with using only this product if you like your brows to be fully shaded/filled in. The black shade isn’t too dark to where it looks unnatural.

Great color, great price
I was using another product that I liked but was twice the price by Glossier. I had to find another brand because this 'high end' brand's white paint on the pencil would chip and flake on my face. I needed a soft muted taupe brown, and I found it with NYX. I'm never going back.

Better than Benefit
This brow pencil is better than my former holy grail pencil by benefit at a fraction of the cost
