NYX Dark Brown Eyeshadow, a great brow filler!

nyx dark brown

NYX Dark Brown is a medium-dark, milk chocolate matte brown. It has a slight warm yellow undertone, as opposed to a red undertone that you may find in some brow powders. This works great with my hair color and would work well for anyone with light to medium brown hair. For those with black hair, you may want a color that is slightly deeper.

I've been using it almost everyday along with my Make up Forever Brow Corrector. It is the perfect shade of ash brown. The consistency is a little powdery, and it is pigmented, but it's not too pigmented (where it makes your brows look painted on.) So when applied, it isn't harsh. It applies light and natural like a brow powder would.

Plus, it's inexpensive and will last you a long, long time. I would compare this to MAC Espresso, one of my favorites for filling my brows.

Here's a swatch on my hand..

Make Up For Ever Eyebrow Corrector Review, Photos and Swatches!

Make Up For Ever Waterproof Eyebrow Corrector

Make Up For Ever Waterproof Eyebrow Corrector ($20) is a waterproof eyebrow defining cream in a tube. Fills, defines, and intensifies brows with natural-looking, stay-put color. The result remains flawless throughout the day and holds up under all conditions (water, heat, etc).

The Make Up For Ever Waterproof Eyebrow Corrector is available in (4) shades: No.1 (light taupe brown), No. 2 (medium warm brown), No. 3 (dark ash brown) and No. 4 (dark brown black). No. 3, a deep, milk chocolate brown is a perfect match for my dark brown hair.


I was skeptical about this product because I've never used a cream product on my brows. The last thing I want is for my eyebrows to look fake or painted on. But, when I was at Sephora, one of the sales associates actually told me it's what she uses on her brows and her brows looked very natural and put-together.

The trick with making this product look natural is by only using the tiniest bit. And when I'm saying tiny, I mean the tiniest drop you can get. A little goes a very long way - even the residue left on the tip of the tube goes a long way.

Any brow brush will do, but I like using a small angled, firm brow brush. I usually start by tracing the underside of my brows (the area that should be the most harsh) and with whatever is left on the brush, make small brush strokes in the sparse areas until the brow is completely filled in.

What's great about this cream is that you can control how light or dark you want it to be. The more product you apply, the darker/harsher your brows will be, and the less product you use, the lighter and more natural your brows will appear.

The product dries fairly quickly to a matte finish.

The lasting power is amazing! My brows don't budge all day. I'm sure it'd be great for oily skin types or you live in a hot/humid climate and you have a problem with your brows melting off! haha.

Make Up For Ever Brow Corrector can be found at Sephora for $19.
