Lift & Snatch Eyebrow Tint Pen, Taupe

(First pic is during first application, "after" pic is after about 8 hours of summer wear. I do not have eyebrows anymore, this is all product) I know that like, there are enough reviews of this lol. But I'm so happy with it so far that I'm reviewing it anyway in case it helps anyone with no eyebrows at all. I have basically none. I pull them out. The pics are on oily skin at maybe 3 p.m. and again after work at about 11 p.m. I bravely wore these to work even though it's 100°f outside and even though they might disappear or turn green. They didn't! I forgot to take a fully done pic but I wanted to show--there's basically no eyebrow, it's all pen except like 8 hairs lol I just got this pen today and I've used it one time. It's Espresso. It's summer now and I'm extremely oily even in the cold months. I started out with an oily face today, since I did brows in the afternoon. I didn't use any powder or primer or anything. I wasn't sweaty or damp when I put it on, just oily. It may be an issue using this in a humid room after showering These pics are way TMI for me lol but I wanted people to see how this works on textured/rough skin with no real hair, just like 5 o'clock black eyebrow shadow. The pen color is great, I have dark dark chestnut hair with a silver stripe and light light yellowish skin with red spots. It's almost my natural brow hair color. I usually use Wet n Wild micro pencils in brunette because it's such a good color and it's so hard for me to find stuff that works on my oily textured skin. But it is really hard to get the inside corners right, it can't do real hairline strokes, and it settles into my wrinkles and smears. The hair texture is giving CGI cat fur or turf, lol. But it's my first time doing it. My impression is that the brush is too soft. It's really hard to do straight strokes especially on my left side (I'm very right handed). They come out a little wiggly. Still 5000x better than usual though You have to use a light hand; be mindful, intentional and slow; and start each "hair" in a strategic spot, you can't just randomly flick lol. I figured that out pretty quick but it's hard to control. Also I'd see a white spot/line I'd try to cover it and the soft brush would curve or bend and not cover the white spot. Like if you have any high spots the brush may go around them. I had to go back in and carefully cover white spots with like the very very very tiptop of the brush. But still, again, first time! And it took under 15 min. If you start the hairs in random spots instead of strategically it looks more bushy and grassy lol. They're definitely not perfect but you have no idea how much better they look, and the process is WAY less stressful and mistakes are easier to fix. It's way easier to draw on hairs than to try to ombre a wax pencil. It's way easier to manage the depth of the color by just adding hairs and covering more skin I wish so bad that it were waterproof! I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop lol so I'm guessing I'll have to come back and lower my rating but I'm really hoping not

My favorite brow product. I have almost no eyebrows, and they're a very faint and subtle ash brown. The color of this product, unlike so many other "ash browns" I've tried, is subtle and not too brown or too dark. The point is so fine that I can do really hair like strokes and get a clean shape, and I can build it up from a lighter look to a bit more bold and filled. Lasts through the day, and the pen itself lasts a good long time!

So I had the urban decay brow blade and it was fine until later on it turned into a reddish brown color and I have dark eyebrows. So I had to get a new product. I obviously wanted to get something more affordable this time so I saw this nyx, and it honestly was the only one that had like a true black shade which was perfect. And I tried it out and works great. It’s so liquidy and sharp that it creates eyebrow hair perfectly and it stays on a while. Would recommend!

I apologize for the long review, so buckle up. If you are oily with little to no brows like me, and tired of being disappointed, read on! Quality: I have tried so many products for my brows, including the expensive Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pomade. This is by far THE BEST eyebrow product on the market that I have tried. I shave my already thin sparse eyebrows (I like to create different makeup looks) , and have extremely oily skin, and sweat a lot in the summer. So I have a blank, and difficult canvas to work with. I need a product that I can depend on, so I’m not worried going throughout the day hoping my brows don’t rub, or sweat off lol. This is it!! It’s amazing! I tested it out sweating my ass off dripping down my forehead, as well as sleeping with them on, as my oils come through the worse when I sleep. (I could fry an egg). If you’re an oily girl like me, it will eventually break down anything lol but this is the ONLY product I’ve tried, where I didn’t have to touch up until the next day, and wasn’t worried about it rubbing, or smudging off over the tiniest things. I have spent the night at my friends house, and still wake up with brows. If I lay on my stomach all night, they fade a bit, but better than waking up to none, or product smudged all over my forehead. A little blot and fill, then I’m good to go. I wouldn’t rub them aggressively though, once your oils come through full throttle. Performance: This gives very precise and consistent hairlike strokes! It doesn’t bleed blobs of ink on my skin. I’m used to drawing on my brows everyday and with this, I can get it done under 2 min!! HUGE Time saver, and it looks so natural!! I can’t wait to try this with my model in a bottle eyebrow sealer! That made even the crappiest products last a little longer. I just wanted to see how this performed on its own. (Tip) If you’re oily, get PanOxyl oil control mositurizer to prep your skin for the day. Let it set, and cover with tinted powder to get rid of the white cast. Use the NYX brow marker, and pair it with the model in a bottle eyebrow sealer here on Amazon, if you can. It will be even more sweat/oil proof! Bottom line: I would definitely recommend! Don’t sleep on this product. Especially if you have oily skin/thin brows and struggling for a natural look. When I get paid again, I’m gonna stock up on these! NYX has once again left me speechless! I’m in love❤️ (UPDATE): After a while, the ink comes out almost like water paint than the crisp hair like lines I was doing before. Color is not as dark, and crisp like when I first bought it, but still good. I’ve been using it almost everyday, and I think it’s just starting to run low. Still looks fairly natural, and long lasting. Still would by again, and recommend. Very decent product for the price. Just wished the ink flow was consistent for longer. I might just store it upside down to keep the tip saturated. (FURTHER UPDATE): Over a year later, this is still my go to brow product! Love it, and use it daily! I’ve also used Godefroy eyebrow tint for when I go on vacation, or busy weeks where I don’t feel like drawing them on everyday. I use this pen to fill in areas that fade after a few days. That tint stains the skin too, so you don’t need eyebrow hair to use it lol. Lasts me about 3-4 days before I start to look like gollum😂With these two by my side, along with my other products mentioned for daily use, I can be confident and save time doing my brows. 🙌

***UPDATE: The product lasted me 8 weeks! I use it every single day so that is amazing! I probably could have eked out a few more days but it was getting harder to get good coverage. I love this eyebrow filler! It's so easy to apply, not a big learning curve. I have white (grey) hair now but my brows are black. They are thinning though and it's very disconcerting to have raggedy and incomplete eyebrows. I have tried everything from powders to brow sticks to and some other liquid formulas with different applicators. One problem I've had is with color. Blacks are too harsh and while this one gray black is quite dark, it is not as harsh so it looks more natural and blends in well with the hairs that are still there. It takes a bit of practice to apply but is not too hard to figure out. The brush is pinpoint and if you use a light quick stroke it looks great. It dries very very quickly, will not smudge after it is set unless you apply pressure. I try to keep my hands completely off. Also you don't want any lotions or oils to touch that area. It's easy to wash off, no special makeup remover needed. I live in FL but have only used this for a month (wintertime) so I'm not sure how the humidity in the summer will affect it or how it will hold up to sweat. I'm afraid it will not do well under those conditions, particularly sweating. Still, it's absolutely the most natural product and easiest application of any brow product I've tried and I'll keep using it. It also does not pull out brows like the crayon-type brow sticks do.

I have tried all of them - Glamiara, anastasia, blah blah. More money, less money, doesn't matter. This one is the best. I have some leftover alopecia from chemo treatments and a bit of sparseness on my eyebrows. I don't like painted-on looking brows - I want the individual, buildable single hair fine application so they look natural. This pen does that, and it will absolutely last all day long, through work/swear/workout - IF you do it right. You have got to start with dry skin. I always use a little toner on a gauze pad on my eyebrows - I do this before I moisturize / add makeup to the rest of my face, so it's nice and clean. Once the toner dries, you are set. Try the strokes on your hand before you start to get used to the feel - you can make small, tiny, fine hairs, or thicker, denser h airs - I try to mimic the other hairs near the ones I'm adding. Make strokes in the same direction as the other nearby hairs to add fullness. Once you do it a few times, you will get the hang of it, and then they look 100% natural. Nobody will have a clue that they aren't your real brows. Use a shade that's the same as your eyebrows - I use espresso. Once time I accidentally bought brunette and it has a bit of red to it and it looked all wrong. When this pen runs out, I panic - I cannot get anything to work as well, or to last as long. I go on long distance runs every other day, and even after one of those, they are still in place - as long as I started the right way. Whenever I try to cheat and just add the brow lines without toner first, it's easy to wipe off and doesn't last. Take the extra 10 seconds and you will be happy! :) If you draw them on a bit too dark, just run a spoolie across them gently until you soften them a bit.

This item is actually very good for staying power and ease of application - it lasts all day and looks great. I took off one star because the little pens are so difficult to pull open, and every single time I pull off the cap, the product leaks all over my fingers and table. And since it's made for staying on, it's really hard to wash off the leaked color and it stains anything it comes in contact with. I also took off one star because I ordered two colors - soft brown and taupe - and both were much much darker than the picture shows. I know that screens can make colors vary, but these products were excessively darker than the pictures. I have light brown hair, and both taupe and soft brown were much too dark - taupe was even darker than soft brown. I also tried Revlon ColorStay 5-in-1 Semi-Permanent Brow Ink in Blonde, which is a similar product. It was truer to the color in the photo and a much better match for light brown hair than the NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Lift & Snatch Eyebrow Tint Pen colors that I tried.

I have my brows nano/powder combo but faded a bit due to oily complexion. I had them touched up after almost a year. I realize I can’t do this every year without causing damage to my skin. This product allows with the lightest touch, to go in and define some of those har strokes and absolutely loved the results. Beginner friendly as others reported.
