NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Eyebrow Cake Powder, Black/Gray

This is the first eyebrow filling product I've ever purchased. I only recently started plucking/shaping my brows so I decided I might as well start filling them too. I decided to try this since it was affordable and came in the color I needed. First of all, it's pretty small, but perfect for keeping in your purse for touch ups. Even though it's small it should last me at least a year. I'd never used a brow product before, so I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing. I'd looked tutorials on the internet but I was still unsure. I tried one brow with the wax and one without. First I use the spoolie to brush the wax onto my brow, I then use the brush to gather some black powder and began to fill in my brow. At first it kind of smeared around, and I even had some fall out under my eye. I found if I brushed only once on the powder it wouldn't pick up as much, no longer leaving fall out. I did however end up having to clean up around my eyebrow from the smearing. It looked really nice, the wax made the powder much darker, and even had a nice sheen to it The second brow I only used powder, It was more subtle and less noticeable than the brow with wax. The color was also less dark and opaque The one with the wax lasted slightly longer than the one without. I did end up having to touch it up after a few hours (the tail of my brow completely gone, but the main part of my brow still looked good) I also have very sensitive skin, especially around the eye area, and this did not irritate my skin at all It washed off easily with my regular cleanser. Overall, it's a great product for a beginner. I found it very easy to use, it looked very natural, and the powders and wax can create multiple looks.

I have fairly thick brows but needed a product to fill in the sparser areas and the occasional empty spot (caused by an eyebrow hair or two falling out). Nyx Eyebrow Cake Powder does the job beautifully. It's much better than any eyebrow pencil that I've ever used. The powder gives a much more natural, softer look than a pencil does. The colors are very pigment-rich so I recommend starting with the lighter color first and then if needed layer on the darker color on top of that (I have very dark brows so I bought the black/gray kit, and mostly just use the gray color). The slant-tip brush that comes with the kit is very easy to use and does a good job of applying the color. The kit also comes with a spoolie brush and a small round pot of clear wax, I guess to set your brow hairs in place after you've applied the color. I don't use the wax as I found it to be too greasy-looking when applied to my brows. But the two powders are just great. It's great too that Nyx can offer such a high quality product at such a low price. I've seen other brow powders cost 5 or 6 times as much as this one. Ridiculous! You don't have to spend your hard-earned money on those over-inflated prices when a company like Nyx makes products like these. One other thing about this brow powder kit and all Nyx products: they're all cruelty-free (they don't test their products on animals) and labeled as such. This may or may not be important to you but it's something I look for in all the beauty products I use. I really appreciate Nyx sticking to this cruelty-free promise when so many other makeup companies have not.

Wonderful product. I think I might have gotten this in either late 2013 or early 2014 and I'm still using it. Blends in really well with my eyebrows and makes them look fuller. My eyebrows are actually black but with this product you can't tell. I say that as a positive factor, because instead of looking dark brown and black they just look all one color. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with faint eyebrows or to people who are sick of using pencil. I actually use a dark brown pencil in combination with this product and they always come out looking great. But you have to know what you're doing or they will look caked and shiny and people will know that they're not natural. Tip: I didn't use too much of the wax and it didn't really work too well for me anyway, but if you do want to use it (good for laying down those stray hairs) then DO NOT use a lot of it. Your brows will look shiny and disgusting and you will have to start all over again.

First of all I need to say that I got the wrong color for me (dark brown/brown), but that didn't stop me from using it regardless. If you're like me with sparse, asian-like, long haired eyebrows than you know the struggle of finding the right eyebrow products. Overall a good product that I use from time to time with great results. Wish I had researched more and got the right color. Next time I will definitely buy the taupe color. Some tips before purchasing: 1) Because of my long eyebrow hairs it does come off as a little too-bushy for my liking, but I fix that with lot of blending and some q-tips. Still worth it considering the price and the fact that blending takes no time for me. But if you have trouble with eyebrows looking too bushy then I might stray away from this product. I just don't mind it. 2) The slanted brush isn't the best, but I find that with all brow products. It's best to use your own brush with this. 3) Setting with some clear brow gel is a great way to make this last all day. Plus, it also makes you look more natural. I use a clear mascara like the one from Maybelline. And no, they didn't pay me to say that, it was just the cheapest one I found and it works. Like I said above, it's a good product with good pigmentation.

La verdad que estoy encantada. Creo que ya llevo más de 1 mes usando este producto y puedo darme cuenta que me durará bastante aún usándolo diariamente. Me parece que está a muy buen precio. Es muy fácil de aplicar y creo yo que con poquito ya le da forma a tus cejas y las rellena de una manera que parece bastante natural. Aconsejo comprar el paquetito de spoolie y pincel para cejas de la marca EcoTools también aquí en Amazon puesto que los que trae son pequeñísimos aunque buenos para un retoque al traer el estuchito en la bolsa ::)

I have always used an eyebrow pencil but this powder is wonderful. It looks so natural and never seems to rub off. I actually use both colours. My own sparse eyebrows are dark brown so I use the dark brown shade very lightly just to fill in any gaps. Then, I fill in everything with the medium brown which looks much softer and more natural than a solid dark brown.

First brow shade that is closest to my natural colour.

I've been using this everyday for a few months and actually really like it! The colour holds really well all day, comes with two brushes and holding gel. Super handy and good quality.

La uso desde que tengo memoria y me encanta! En realidad no podría compararla con otro producto porque es el único que he usado
