 Lift & Snatch Brow Tint Pen Waterproof Eyebrow Pen

Oh baby this is my perfect brow product…I love it bad..you can easily control what you're doing with this…I went through different products to find what works for me and THIS IS IT…imma eyebrow girly so as long as my eyebrows look like I want them..im HAPPY

I really liked this at first because I've never had a brow pen before. It gives a tinted brow look rather than a penciled in look. I quickly realized that the ink doesn't come out of the pen evenly and some strokes are too light and some are too heavy and smudge. It really forces you to use a very specific amount of pressure which can be hard to achieve. It also does leak a little at the base so I try not to store it upside down. But that also means it takes a bit for the ink to come down and saturate the tip. I did try out a more expensive non-drugstore brow pen and liked that much better and it went on with ease. If this was twice the price like its competitor I would give it 3 stars, but for the price I'm still gonna say 4 stars.

not enough coverage for my thon grey eyebrows probably good for you get people

I've tried every product made to fill in my sparse brows and nothing matches this product! I've used pencils, powders, and gels but I love this marker like style best. The color range is amazing too.

This was my go-to for years; I've been using it since they released it. Lately there have been lots of inconsistency in the formulas, and I've been trying different shades that all have different issues. I changed shades from Ash Brown to Brunette and got the Brow Glue. I noticed that my eyebrows were turning hot pink (!!!!) almost immediately after doing my brows! I know some product combos can destabilize color, but I was surprised the NYX products did not work together. I returned the brow gel and tried another, same issue. So I did some experimenting and realized it's just the brow pen. No matter how I apply it: dry skin, primed skin, over foundation, removing moisturizer, brow gel, no brow gel, etc., same problem. I have also noticed that it is very sensitive to sunlight as well. I swatched it on my arm while working and the color still shifted, so even indoors on dry skin it doesn't work right. See my photos for some evidence of those swatches. When I went to Ulta to return it, I swatched the other shades I've used before (without issue previously) on my arm, and they also shifted when I left the store. I had also noticed the last Ash Brown I bought was not as smudge-proof and actually got a little clumpy, which is crazy because this product is so thin and slightly transparent. I have made zero changes to my routine that would cause this, and even if I had, this product is unusable if it can't be worn outdoors. There must have been a change here and I am very disappointed that my favorite brow product is not what it used to be.
