All About Brow Pencils

The year of 2015 was all about the brows and there is no doubt that it will transition into the year of 2016. Whether it was defined brows, arched brows, or full brows, eyebrows became one of the biggest phenomenons in the beauty world. Eyebrows are crucial for any person's makeup routine because they frame the face and define your features.

With eyebrows being all the rage, beauty companies were releasing multiple brow products. Of all the products, mechanical pencils were a must-have for achieving polished, yet natural eyebrows. Here are two that deliver similar results with different price points.

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz has quickly become a staple in every makeup lovers kit. It is also one of the most popular items at Sephora. It was one of the first mechanical pencils released in the beauty industry that featured a spoolie brush. The Brow Wiz comes in 9 colors ranging from light to dark with cool and warm undertones. The ultra-slim pencil has a waxy feel and allows you to fill in sparse areas, outline your brows, and mimic natural hairlike strokes. It's easy to apply and the formula lasts all day.

NYX Cosmetics recently came out with their Micro Brow Pencil and we can't help but notice the similarities it has with the ABH Brow Wiz. The NYX Micro Brow Pencil is also a mechanical brow product featuring very similar packaging. It comes in 8 different colors and also features cool and warm undertones. The creator of MakeupGeek, Marlena, filmed a video on her YouTube channel and made a very interesting point about the two brow products. She noticed that both products were made in the same country and that it is likely that both are manufactured in the same exact factory due to the similar formula and packaging.

So what's our conclusion after using both pencils? The NYX Micro Brow Pencil seems to have the same exact formula and packaging as Anastasia's. Same formula, same waxy feel, and the same exact consistency! We haven't noticed any difference between the two after months of using it which is mind blowing! So if you'd like to save a few dollars on your brows we would definitely recommend NYX's brow pencil over ABH Brow Wiz. Anastasia's Brow Wiz is $21 while NYX's Micros Brow Pencil is half the price at $10. Also ULTA usually has buy one get one 50% off for the NYX Brow Pencil, so you would be getting 2 for about $15. Next time you're at ULTA give both a try at the same time and see if you agree with us!
