What they liked

  • Ultra-fine tip for precise detail
  • Affordable compared to premium brow pencils
  • Wet formula that blends easily

What they flagged

  • Uses product quickly with daily application

What the gurus are saying

The pencil's ultra-fine tip earns praise for filling in sparse brows with precision and control, and it costs less than many competitor options. However, the formula uses product quickly, so anyone doing brows daily may burn through it faster than expected and might consider pairing it with a brow powder to stretch it further. The slightly wet texture works fine for some, though it is not a standout feature.

"The NYX Micro Brow Pencil in Taupe is the best brow pencil ever. It's just the right texture. It's not too waxy. It's not too soft. It's not like if you need to go lightly, you can. And in normal circumstances, it lasts quite a long time."

"I love the NYX eyebrow pencil, the very thin one. When I used to work for Disney, they had very strict beard guidelines and it had to be very tidy and full. So, I would fill in all the gaps with a NYX pencil. It's perfect and I think a lot cheaper than this."

"I did start using the NYX Micro Brow when I dyed my hair red. And I did think that it was kind of like a wet formula. I didn't notice it like it wasn't something that was like a bad thing for me necessarily."

"I'm going to use taupe from NYX. I'm going to run this all through my brow hair, focusing on the areas that just need a little more, but I want to make sure that gray isn't overpowering the warmth."

"This does use a lot of product. So if you don't want to go through product so quickly, like if you do your brows every single day and you like this technique, get yourself a brow powder that is a comparable shade because this definitely, like I prefer a pencil, but damn, dude, does this waste product."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
