NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Zero to Brow, Longwear Eyebrow Gel, Ash Brown

This is the BEST eyebrow color. It is a gel and very easy to apply and with the brush on one end you can make it look very, very natural. One thing that it’s important is that the color is a bit darker than you would imagine by the name that goes along with it, for instance, Ash blonde is actually a medium brown. This will stay on for days and no matter how much you sweat it won’t come off, hallelujah! I love all the NYX products!!!! I now try and buy only NYX for every makeup item.

This is more of an eyebrow tint, for people with no eyebrows or someone who want it to stay for days. It will even tint the skin that doesn’t have hair, it didn’t affect my skin though, it was totally fine and I have very sensitive skin. It’s waterproof too. I probably wouldn’t use everyday bc it’s not a lot of product in it but when you swimming def use this!! It’s stayed on for about 2 days of going swimming constantly at the beach and once I reapplied and let it dry for about 10 mins it won’t come off even if u rub hard. Unless you rub hard with makeup remover. It’s is absolutely phenomenal. I can now wake up with eyebrows lol. Just make sure to shape it fast bc it will dry fast and blend or wipe some parts is q-tip and let dry completely for 5-10 mins

Great product...I am setup with subscription.

Dear God don't put it straight on your eyebrow its too much!! I put on spooly and comb through brows gives all day boose to color and looks natural. Lasts a long time. Really like product 1 star off cause you don't really want to use as suggested unless you want super dark un natural look. But a little tweak to how you apply and its a staple! I use cool blonde for my dark blond hair its a great color match

This is so good. I ve been on vacation, I used it before I went to the ocean n in the pool. It stayed in place beyond 24 hrs. Love it

It really does last *at least* 2 days. Once you this product dries, expect some amount of color to last at least a full 2 days. As many others have mentioned, this product appears darker than advertised. It's so much darker than it appears when straight out of the bottle. So much darker that I would say, the color you see in the bottle is not the color you will see on your face. Do not rely on the color shown on the packaging. I got the "Ash Brown" color. My natural hair color is a dark brown - probably a level 3 right now. My eyebrows are close to a level 2 color - a natural black-brown color. I prefer to lightly fill in my brows with a color that is a couple shades lighter so as to achieve as soft and natural of a look as possible. Normally, the Ash Brown should have worked out perfectly. Instead, it left me looking a bit like Bert from Sesame Street. Ok... maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. But the Ash Brown did leave my eyebrows strikingly dark - way darker than my hair color (the hair on my head). It's very bold and unnatural looking. And I can't wash it off. I've tried two face washes, an oily make up remover, a toner, cold cream, and even dish washing soap. All of these products barely lightened the color. I would consider this product to be a semi-permanent color since there's really no way to undo it if you've made a mistake. I don't like how dark the Ash Brown is, but I'm just going to have to wait for the color to finish fading out. In the meantime, I've ordered the "Ash Blonde" color. I'm hoping it will render a more flattering color because it seems to be the lightest shade available. I'm going to play around with both colors and maybe even see if I can mix them to create a custom color. I docked 1 star for poor color accuracy. (The color came out so dark that the name and color shown on the box feels inaccurate. This is a cool black-brown color.) Other than that, I'm happy to have found a product that will last at least a couple of days. As I've gotten older, my eyebrows have become sparse in patches. I hate having to fill in my brows every day. It also seems like eyebrow makeup is easy to fade or smudge, whether by accidental wiping or just naturally throughout the day. So I'm really glad to have found a product that will reduce the amount of time and attention I spend on my eyebrows. Update #1: I've had more time to experiment with this product. If you make a mistake and think that you'll be stuck with messed up eyebrows for days, don't fret! You can remove a great deal of color by reapplying the product, waiting about 10 seconds, then wiping it away. You have to do this ASAP, though. Also, the Ash Brown color kind of has a *slight* green tint under some lighting. I would say this is not a good product if you're aiming for a very natural look. It can be subtle depending on how lightly you apply it and what not. But I don't think it would be easy to accomplish a truly natural look of any kind. If you're ok with a semi-natural or very polished and made up look, this product can work. Just be wary of the color being much darker than advertised and the strong undertone. I will provide another update if the Ash Blonde causes any concerns. Update #2: Surprisingly, the Ash Blonde color is way more suitable for my complexion and hair color. (I have a fair to light skin color with a mostly neutral undertone and a very dark hair color that is also mostly neutral/natural, being neither very warm or very cool.) The Ash Blonde color is very forgiving to work with. If applied lightly, the color is faint - suitable even for those with light blonde hair. If applied heavily or in a few layers, it will render a much darker color. I appreciate this because I can apply a lighter color at the beginning of my eyebrows and a darker color on the ends. This creates a softer look. Even more, I don't have to worry about creating a perfectly shaped brow with super neat edges with this color. It's generally light enough to hide tiny mistakes under a bit of medium coverage concealer. (Note: If applied heavily for as bold and dark of a color as possible, medium coverage concealer will not effectively cover mistakes. This shade can be applied so that it's dark for dark-haired brunettes like me.) With all of that being said, I decided to dock another star for the following reasons: • The colors generally do not match the other lines of NYX eyebrow colors. For example, I normally use the Ash Brown or Chocolate/Brunette colors when using 4 of their other eyebrow products. I sometimes use the Ash Blonde color when I've lightened my hair and brows. The colors of all of those products generally match. In fact, I can use any 2 of those products together (such as the Fill & Fluff and any one of their basic eyebrow pencils) and expect the colors to match or at least pair very well as long as the color names are the same. The colors of this particular product are not even decent matches to the other products. They appear to be when you look at the color of the product while it's still in the tube. However, after it has dried on your face, it's so much darker. And it continues to get darker for at least half an hour after applying, which is long after it has dried. It's very possible to apply this product and step away from the mirror without actually knowing what color your brows will end up being. I've done it three times already and was very alarmed and embarrassed one of those times. You really have to let this product sit for a while to be certain about the exact color you will be left with. You cannot rely on the advertised swatches, the color shown on the box, the color of the product in the bottle, the name of the color, or the color of NYX's other eyebrow products. All of those things are merely *very* loose guidelines. Honestly, though, you'd just have to take your best guess when figuring out what color to get. I think that alone is worth docking a whole star over. • There's a strong, unnatural looking undertone with both the Ash Blonde and Ash Brown colors. I'm guessing this has to do with creating the "ash" part of the color. The Ash Brown has a slightly green tint to it. The Ash Blonde has a very gray, extremely faint green tint. These undertones are mostly noticeable when the product is applied heavily and/or under certain lighting conditions - particularly under the bright, fluorescent lights that you might see in a hospital or government building or under very cool light settings. (Unfortunately, this is the lighting I work under for most of the day and I have fair skin, so it's a very noticable issue for me.) I have tried similar "semi-permanent" eyebrow stains in the past. (Eyebrow stains that last for 2-5 days.) In my experience, all of the colors will either have a green or orange undertone. Cooler ("ash") colors will have green. Warmer colors will have orange. Neutral colors are no exception and will have either undertone - usually orange. The fade out period usually results in the desired pigments (brown) fading quickly and the unnatural undertones lingering. Basically, most of the other products have left me with unsightly green or orange eyebrows as they faded out. It's the reason I gave up on using these kinds of products for a while. From what I can tell so far, this product (the NYX eyebrow gel) does not render as obvious of an undertone color as the other products I've tried. And the undertones do not become anymore prominent or obvious as it fades. So that's a plus when comparing it to similar eyebrow staining products. Still, though... the undertones are there and are obvious enough for me to feel it's worth pointing out. Just manage your expectations accordingly and test this product out before using it before an important event or whenever you'll be under special lighting. • I mostly appreciate the way this product stains my skin and doesn't budge for a very long time, even when washed with soap. However, I don't like the way this product feels or looks on my actual eyebrow hairs. The problem for me is that there isn't an easy way to effectively stain my skin and remove the product off my hairs. I have to apply a fairly thick layer and let it sit for about 10-30 min in order to get a deep enough color that will last longer than 24 hrs on my skin. After letting it set, the color on my hair appears more like the color it appears in the tube - just way darker. On my skin, it appears slightly different - I'm guessing due to oxidation. This is more of an issue when using the Ash Blonde color. With the Ash Brown color, everything is so dark that all of the small details seem to get lost in the darkness. And maybe it's because the Ash Brown ends up almost as dark as my actual hair. The product makes my hairs looks chunky or at least thickly coated. Sometimes, it acts like a glue and shellacs some of my hairs to my skin or together. It doesn't look natural. In my opinion, it doesn't even look good. It looks sloppy and amateurish. It's like when someone has used way too much mascara and never combed through their lashes between coats or otherwise attempted to apply the mascara evenly. Their lashes end up looking ridiculously coated and "chunky." Everytime they blink, you wonder how they're not being be peppered by tiny flakes of dried mascara or how crunchy some of their clumped together lashes must feel. This is not an issue with how I'm applying the product, either. I've played with the product enough to find multiple ways to apply it. No matter what, I run into the same general issue. After letting this product sit on my face for a while, I wash as much of it off my eyebrow hairs as possible. I have to wash them about 3 times. (For the most part, these multiple washes don't affect the color on the skin too much.) I also have to use a spoolie to comb the remaining product off the hair because it's still very gunky by the 2nd or 3rd wash and too tacky to wipe off with a tissue. I suppose this is a good thing if you're looking for a product to coat your hairs. It speaks to the product's longevity and claims of being budge-proof. However, in my case, my eyebrow hairs are extremely dark and do not need a color *on top* of them. My eyebrows are just sparse and need some color *underneath* them. They only need to be filled in - not colored over (like a mascara would color over lashes). Additionally, I do not have thick enough eyebrows to be able to spare losing a few hairs here and there. I could lose 2 long hairs in some places and be left with a super thin/bare spot or an entirely different eyebrow shape. I can't be scrubbing and tugging at my brows too aggressively. I've got to carefully use the spoolie with a gentle cleanser to comb off the excess product. It's kind of a hassle. Overall, applying this product is a tedious process and has mostly left me wondering if the payoff is worth all the effort. I guess it is for special occassions, but I don't think I'll be using this product regularly. What about the built-in spoolie? Why don't I just apply it the way it's advertised to be applied? I have not found a way to effectively use the built-in spoolie (or any other spoolie or tool) to comb the product through my hairs while it's still fresh and workable. If I use the spoolie before the product has dried and set, it does a great job of evening out the amount of product on the hairs; but it ends up wiping/scraping some of the color off my skin. Then I'm left with very light or colorless patches that I have to spend more time and effort fixing. Which leads me to the next issue... • Touch-ups or spot corrections are not quick and easy. When you apply this product over a spot that already has some color to it, it can actually remove that color. That "doe foot applicator" that all the influencers rave about in their videos? It's honestly not that great. (I'm pretty sure they only mention it because they're required to. See below for an explanation.) The applicator doesn't allow for a lot of control during initial application. It also makes it very easy to apply too much (or too little) product and accidentally wipe existing color off when trying to touch up a spot. I've dedicated a cheap makeup brush for applications and touch ups. It works so much better and doesn't leave as much product resting on top of the hairs. Sometimes, I have to very carefully apply the product 2-3 times to touch up one spot so that the color matches the surrounding color. The process for touch-ups is like the process for initial applications in that it's tedious and mostly leaves me wondering if the time and effort is worth the overall results. I have started filling in spots with regular old eyebrow pencils, which leads me to believe I will eventually go back to using the same basic products that I've been using. *About the "doe foot applicator" comment: If you didn't know, companies often require influencers to follow a general script when promoting their products in order to earn or maintain sponsorship. They'll require them to mention certain features and/or recite certain words verbatim. Then they usually give them some wiggle room to include their own legit thoughts and opinions. Usually, the influencers cannot speak too negatively about the product, though. So, often times, influencer ads (which are often disguised as "honest reviews" or "promos") are pretty deceiving. Some parts of the review may be authentic. But often times, they're just employing classic marketing strategies to earn incentives. It can be hard to spot what they truly felt was worth sharing vs what was they were told to push. Sometimes, they don't even bother mentioning the things they actually felt was worth noting because they can't find a way to work it in without violating the sponsor's guidelines. Only pointing out the positives and making trivial features seem exciting while avoiding the negatives is technically still giving an honest review... but it's also deceptive, IMO. How do I know about these things? I have a family member who's trying to be a big influencer. She doesn't always agree with the "script" or guidelines she's given. Sometimes, she thinks the feature that she's required to showcase - often by name or specific terminology (such as the "doe foot applicator" that every single person in the highlighted videos for this product has mentioned) - is trivial or is actually a negative aspect of the product. Sometimes, she finds certain words or phrases to be awkward, such as calling every other mundane product a "game changer." Sometimes, she outright disagrees with a statement, like saying a lipstick is ultra moisturizing or that a hair tool has cut the amount of time it takes for her to get ready in half. But then she has to consider her goals as an influencer. And so, for the most part, she aims to earn or maintain sponsorship and only declines when the product absolutely sucks and she feels like a company is asking her to promote snake oil. She'll promote a mid product, though, if she generally likes the brand and believes some of their other products are great. (Cosmetic companies easily fall under this category.) I don't agree with my family member's choice to push opinions that aren't entirely her own or that are partially scripted/guided. As someone who makes an ok salary with just enough wiggle room at times, I don't appreciate being misled - even in the slightest. And I hate accumulating and then throwing out junk. I appreciate the truly honest reviews that help me spend my hard earned money on products that will meet my expectations. In the case with this particular product (the NYX eyebrow gel), I don't understand why all the people in the highlighted videos felt the need to rave about or even just casually mention the "doe foot applicator" like it's an amazing feature. Let's be honest... who gets excited over a "doe foot applicator" and how many people actually throw those words around like it's common terminology? I feel like most people would just call it "the tip" or "the applicator." Anyway, IMO, the applicator is just meh and kinda sucks at times. Read some other reviews, and you'll see I'm not alone in thinking this. So the fact that every single highlighted reviewer felt the need to promote this feature is suspicious. You can even see that it's not really applying/spreading the product that well in some of their videos. (It's kind of like using a tiny spatula to spread a product on your skin that will dry down to a semi-permanent finish in about a minute. There are way better tools to use to ensure you're not stuck with a streaky, clumpy mess across your brows.) Just be cautious when going through the reviews. Some seek deceptive. Many seem influenced. This is a good product with impressive staying power. But it's got some major flaws. I recommend it as long as you have a good idea of what you'll be working with.

This product says zero to brow, which is true. I have no eyebrows and it works miracles to give me natural looking eyebrows that stay all day. I have tried so many products and they just sweat right off! These brows never move. The second day I might have to fill them in, but they last and I don’t have to worry about them! The applicator is awful so I use a eyebrow brush applicator. I just touch it to the stick and use it. The product stays wet long enough for you to manipulate it to the right consistency and color and once it dries, it will not move. Be aware that it needs to be shaped before it dries or else you will be scraping your skin off. This is a product that I hope they never discontinue! It is necessary for my everyday life!

If you've struggled and struggled to find a product that is Waterproof, try this!! I love to be in water and always avoided my face getting wet because im so self conscious on having no tails on my eyebrows. Ive tried countless products and this beats all. Only thing im not a fan of is the round lip gloss like applicator, not sure why that was the choice.. but if you use another it'll work out better! Still It will not be an easy application because once it dries its really hard to fix/remove, so you definitely need to practice. It is similar to brow glue. Baby oil/oil based cleanser will help take it off. I applied it before bed, woke up great, showered and washed/scrubbed my face and still going strong!! I cant say how many days it last because I havent even had it more than a day, but I can finally not worry about my face dripping sweat during volleyball or getting soaked while enjoying water activities. Im so happy!!☺️

Adoro este producto, la pena es que no hay en las tiendas, solo lo he podido conseguir aqui en amazon , dura sobre unas 16 horas y porque mi piel es grasa. Amo este producto

رائع وثابت

I love this product. It lasts easily for two days and the colour is nice and cool toned! The only thing is I wouldn't apply it using the applicator it comes with. I usually use a small brush to apply it so I get more control and it's not as messy!
