So they've started stocking Nyx at places other than target so I'm a bit more interested in picking up some of their brow products but I don't know whether I should get the brow cake in auburn or the micro brow pencil in auburn? Do any of you girls have experience with these products?

I don't know which one will be better, I like building my brows up so they're opaque (obviously you guys that have known me here for a while will know that) but I'm hoping these particular colours won't be buildable to almost black, cause that's always what happens lol.

Or would I be better off getting something like the dipbrow or something from Mac? Like these?

Of all these products I have only used the micro pencils, and I really like it! But with your tattooed brows wouldn't a brows gel, just to keep the hairs in place, be enough?

I've used the eyebrow cake powder before and I loved it! Very natural looking and for a powder it was very long wearing (:

I would get both. I like to a clean edge, not sharp or carved out, but defined. I find I can achieve that with either a pencil or a pomade. Now, I can use a pencil alone to do my whole brow look or a pomade alone. But for me, I can't achieve the look I want with a powder only. It's either a pencil alone, a pomade alone or a pencil with a pomade, or a pencil & a powder or a pomade and a powder. I guess what I'm saying is, I like a powder as a "filler" only. But again, this is just me. If you like a soft-edged brow, you can use a powder alone.

@Sabrina, they get a little bit covered when I wear makeup cause I can't even deal trying to be precise with my foundation so I do my brows last, and my tattoos right now are still a work in progress, I go back for my touch up in 2 weeks to fix any patches that didn't hold pigment :) and I don't have much brow hair to begin with haha!

@ Alexis, that's good news! I'd definitely use it over some sort of brow wax or pomade I think I'm just really searching for something that I can still build up to opaque and defined but not dark, I want them to look on the warmer side, etc. :) I love how the shades look in the Nyx palette though plus for 10$ can't really go wrong for a change haha! :)

@Marleen, I definitely get what you mean, I usually use a tinted brow wax and powder on top before I'll be satisfied with how they're looking, I can't stand patches in my brows haha. I definitely prefer pomades and brow waxes apposed to powder alone, just looking for some new products that are on the warm side cause my brows always look so dark haha! :) x

Haha ahh I see Shaye! The struggle of good brows ;)

Haha for sure! I feel like the brow tattoos are better for people who had no brows or little to none like I did, they're managing to grow out a bit since having the tattoo done but I can't really say if I'm 100% happy with them yet cause there's a couple of things with the shape that I'm going to have her fix but they're 100% worth it, I don't have to put my brows on everyday anymore so that's good lol.

Hey Shaye! I know we have similar eyebrow coloring (lol, what a weird sentence), and he micro brow pencil in auburn was much too red toned for me. However, things are always hard to tell over the Internet, and I did really like the formula! The ABH dipbrow in Auburn is a good color, and I use this product every day (with a powder on top) so it's definitely something I've enjoyed. There's a bit of a learning curve, but as you've probably heard, a light hand is key. I haven't tried the other products you mentioned, but I hope this helps!

I haven't tried the powder or the pencil from nyx, but I have tried the pomade from Nyx and found it VERY comparable to anastasias dipbrow. the consistency is slightly thicker but the application and wear is real close.

I've heard that the preferable one would be the brow pencil.

I have their brow pencil and the brow cake - I personally prefer the pencil because it's just easier to work with and less time consuming for me - but the brow cake is nice too especially if you want two tones and a wax in a very inexpensive kit.

Thank you so much you guys! So helpful, I think I might go with maybe the dipbrow or the Mac redhead :) and I'll just update any of you that are wondering how my brows are looking about a month after I got them, here they are!

Shaye the Mac shade red head was disappointing for me since it was more of a ashy blonde. I have the Anastasia pencil shade auburn which I'm wearing in my default pic and it's used with Kat von D shadow. You may have to mix product's to get the shade right for yourself. :)
