    I was using the Anastasia brow wiz but had a hard time shelling out $30 every few months. After a very quick google search I learned the NYX micro brow pencil was a great dupe. I found the shade that was closest to the brow wiz (google should be able to help you with that) and I haven't looked back! The pencil is so tiny and precise which helps create natural looking strokes. All while paying a third of the cost!

    My favourite brow product!
    This product is very comfortable and quick to use. The spooly on the other end is so useful, too. I love that no sharpening is needed, and also that the tip does not tend to break.
    The only bad thing is that I run through these pencils relatively fast (like one pencil per 1.5 month) and have to repurchase often.

    I seriously love this brow pencil. A friend introduced me to this one and it is by far my favourite. I've bought so many brow kits , pencils , gels, and none compare to this. I use the ash brown (I'm a brunette with fair skin). It stays on during my entire 12 hour nursing shift. The fine point is great for shaping the ends. It only lasts 2-3 months if you use it a few times a week. I think it's like 12.00$ at shoppers which is a steal of a deal for such a good product. The only thing is that it seems like Everyone in the town uses it so they are always out of stock! Lol. A great dupe is loreal brunette brow pencil with the brush if you can't find this one.

    It's so similar to the Anastasia one but so much cheaper! I love the micro tip and that's I don't have to sharpen it. Gives my brows the perfect touch that they need

    I have been using this brow pencil in Espresso and I am obsessed with it! I was hesitant at first because I have always used Brow Powder because I have not had good experiences with other brow pencils, I felt they always looks too harsh on me but not this one! This pencil has a very small tip and so it is easy to draw your brow exactly how and where you want it without it looking overdone or too thick, especially down towards the tail of your brow where it gets thinner.
    Another plus - this product lasts and stays put all day! It is also inexpensive, I think it retails for around $10 which is amazing because I feel the quality is similar to some other higher-end brow products.
    I have noticed though that sometimes when I take the cap off I have to clean off the tip of the pencil .. it almost looks like the pencil is fraying, it's very weird. I just need to quickly wipe the tip before I apply it to my brows because if I don't the frayed parts come off in small chunks.. I'm not quite sure what is causing it but it doesn't really bother me or effect the quality of the product either.

    I only recently started filling my brows in, and decided a pencil would be my best bet since I'm a newbie. This product seemed fairly unintimidating. It comes in a good variety of shades to choose from, making it pretty easy to find a colour match.


    This is a great option because it has a spoolie on one end and a super small automated pencil on the other. The small tip makes it easy to make fine, hair-like strokes. Because you can build the colour from soft to bold, it's a very goof-proof way to fill in sparse areas. It looks very natural.


    The texture is quite waxy, so it stays on longer than a creamier product. It won't prevent your eyebrows from moving around, so if your brows tend to do that, I'd recommend a gel mascara on top.

    I've been using this brow liner for a few months now and I'm really in love with it. It's fine tip allows for hair-like strokes and it does a great job at filling in my brows. Since the tip is thin I can control how much I put on so whether I want a natural looking brow or one that is super bold I can achieve both looks with this product. I love the spooly on the other end to help brush my brows in place. If you're looking for a brow product that works well and is inexpensive I highly recommend this!

    I love this eyebrow pencil. It did take me a few tries to get the hang of it but after I got it, I fell in love. The tip of the pencil is so thin which makes it so easy to get a natural brow.

    I have been using this pencil in the colour "espresso" for over two months (maybe closer to three) after a girlfriend mentioned it. The price is great for a drug store product that almost feels high end quality wise and especially in comparison to high end prices. I got mine at Shopper's Drug Mart (Canada) and sometimes they have sales. It could be cheaper at the NYX store (or online?) but it could also be more expensive; I don't know. My only complaint about the packaging is the same as everybody else - The spoolie end and the pencil end should be equal in length or have different colour caps, but I've only smushed the pencil once so far, ha. I love how strong the spoolie is though it could be too rough for some people, it's so great for blending the product. The pencil is strong/durable as well. The pigment is perfect; buildable rather than harsh. A light touch will provide less and a heavier touch will provide more. Now I've never used Anastasia's Brow Wiz but even I can see they are comparable just based on research. And I used Anastasia's Brow Pomade in Dark Brown with Anastasia's Brow Powder Duo in Ebony daily for years before I discovered this pencil. The colour match is exact and I haven't touched my Anastasia products since! I think from now on, I'll only use Anastasia's Brow Pomade when I want an intense and super defined brow. This NYX pencil is just SO much easier, SO much faster, and way more natural looking for daily wear. The staying power is EXCELLENT and it stays fairly matte (oily skin gang). I hope I covered everything, I highly recommend this pencil. I decided from the beginning that I will purchase backups when my budget allows, and that's something I very rarely do!
