NYX Blade & Shade Brow Pencil 800897265939, 16HR Brunette

If you're looking for brows that look professionally done without actually getting them microbladed, the NYX Blade & Shade Brow Pencil is seriously a game-changer. This thing's got a super cool dual-ended design – one side creates those realistic, hair-like strokes while the other fills everything in for that perfectly shaded look. Basically, you get that microbladed vibe without any of the pain, commitment, or crazy price tag.

What I really love about this pencil is that it actually stays put. We're talking up to 16 hours of wear that won't smudge or transfer onto everything you touch. The color payoff is rich and glides on like butter, so you're not sitting there struggling to get the pigment to show up. Plus, with twelve shades to choose from, there's definitely something that'll work for your brow color. Whether you're just running errands or heading to something fancy, your brows will look sharp all day long.

Using it is pretty straightforward – sketch in those fine lines with the skinny blade side, then flip it over and shade everything in with the wider edge. The formula blends like a dream, so even if you're not a brow expert, you'll still end up with brows that look natural and polished.
