I tried the £10 NYX 'Micro' brow pencil from Boots and my brows were bigger in seconds

I'm always keen to try out different brow products, and recently I've heard a lot about the NYX 'ultra-thin Micro Brow Pencil.'

Costing £10 from Boots, the product is said to 'build full beautiful brows' with an ultra-thin micro pencil. It promises to coat 'even the finest hairs' with colour for a natural looking finish.

It comes with a dual-ended brow pencil with a fine pencil crayon at one end, and a brush at the other to fluff up the brows. I'm all about defined brows, and I've definitely had some bad results throughout the years - so I was hoping and praying this product would work wonders.

To look at, the pencil was very thin and small, and felt quite light too. I didn't let that put me off though, and began to apply the product to my brows.

I've recently had my brows waxed so I was hoping that the pencil would make them look even more defined. As I applied the pencil to my eyebrows I didn't think it was doing anything at first.

It wasn't until I noticed the fine strokes on my brows that I was amazed. The shade 'taupe' was absolutely perfect for me too, and wasn't too dark for my bright blonde hair.

What I really liked about the product was the fact that it wasn't too bold. It gave my brows just the right amount of definition without the product being overloaded.

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a really bold brow, but I personally prefer something in-between. The brush on the end was a really nice touch, but it would've been even better if it came with brow gel.

I was really chuffed with this eyebrow pencil as a whole, for £10 I feel like I'm going to get a lot of wear out of it. It took seconds to make a difference to my brows making it a quick and easy process to get ready. You can purchase the NYX brow pencil here.
