Great for quick and easy days

On the whole I tend to wear clear gel mascara as a brow tamer, but since I struggle with basic tasks these days, I loved the idea of this coloured brow mascara. It’s an easy way to skip a makeup step or to give your simple look that extra polish without much effort. I’ve had some truly awful makeup experiences, but Nyx ‘Thick it stick it’ Brow mascara delivers on it’s promises. I use a light hand and recommend you don’t overly layer it for the most realistic look.

One thing you do have to watch out for is that it can easily get on your skin, especially if you have thicker brows. So do a quick ‘clean-up’ of smears once you’ve put it on for the day and you’re good to go. It is definitely on the thicker side and I can see why some people find it ‘gloopy’, but I find a light hand and scraping off the brush (like with my mascaras made for thick lashes) gives it the perfect natural look.

It does last about 4-6 hours in my experience, though possibly with primer and sealant it might last longer. I really love that it absorbs naturally, as I hate makeup that looks weird throughout the day. This just naturally disappears and doesn’t stand out over time. If I was going for a night out, I’d use a proper eyebrow pencil, but this is fab for daily use.

The espresso colour was perfect for me. I have brunette hair (dark), but my eyebrows are a little ashy and this brought them to match my hair colour better.
