I swear by a $13 brow buy to fill in sparse areas – my ride-or-die doubles as an eyeliner, I even use it on my freckles
A DRUGSTORE makeup buy could work as an eyeliner, brow filler, and even add faux freckles.
One beauty fan swears by the product, calling it her “ride-or-die.”
Redditor Gold_knee8166 revealed her holy grail makeup in a post on the social media platform.
She said she loves the product so much, she refuses to leave the house without it.
The Redditor added that she has sparse brows and her $13 buy improves the look.
She also dished on multiple uses for the makeup bag staple.
WHAT IS IT?
She said she uses Lift and Snatch Brow Tint Pen Waterproof Eyebrow Pen by NYX, which is sold for $13 at Ulta.
The product promises to fill in the brows for a whopping 16-hour wear.
“I never leave the house without filled-in brows and my ride or die is the NYX Lift and Snatch Brow Pen in Ash Brown,” she said.
She added that the hue is perfect for more than just her eyebrows.
“It’s the perfect shade for my sparse black brows and I also use it to darken my freckles and sometimes as a natural eyeliner.”
Other Redditors chimed in on the makeup must-have.
“I second Ash Brown, it’s very versatile,” another commented on the brown pen.
“I just got this last week and it works so well,” yet another said.
“[It’s a] game-changer for filled-in natural-looking brows.”
“Love this brow pen, it’s absolutely fantastic,” one more said. “I’ll be devastated if they ever discontinue it.”
HOW TO USE IT
The brand recommends applying the product with a light hand as to avoid a heavy brow.
Using soft strokes, the brow pen can create the illusion of more hairs.
The product also works for those who have thicker hairs, but who may struggle with bald spots.
In this case, the brand recommends applying it with heavier strokes.
The applicator is also thin enough that it could create the precision of eyeliner.
It also has the potential to create freckles or darken existing ones.
