NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Blade & Shade Brow Pencil — Brunette, Nano Mechanical Dual-Edge & Shaded Fill, Up to 16HR Wear

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Blade & Shade Brow Pencil is a dual-edged nano mechanical eyebrow pencil that creates hairlike strokes and a shaded fill for long-lasting, salon-style brows. This compact two-in-one tool combines a razor-thin blade-tip for ultra-fine, hairlike lines with a wider shaded edge to softly fill and blend — all in a smudge- and transfer-resistant formula formulated to last up to 16 hours. Designed for easy at-home use, the Blade & Shade pencil gives precision where you need it and a natural finish that holds throughout the day. Available in 12 bladin' brow shades, Brunette matches medium-to-dark brown tones for a balanced, polished look.

How does the dual-edged tip create natural-looking brows?

The dual-edged tip pairs a nano-blade side for drawing crisp, hairlike strokes with a shaded side to diffuse color and soften edges. Use the blade side to mimic individual hairs near the brow base and the shade side to sweep through sparse areas for dimension.

• Blade side: ultra-thin strokes that mimic real brow hairs
• Shade side: broader, soft application for natural fill
• Flip-and-apply design for one-step shaping and blending

Will this pencil stay put through my day?

Blade & Shade uses a pigment formula engineered to resist smudging, fading, and transfer so brows stay defined from morning to night. While results vary by skin type and activity, the pencil is formulated to provide up to 16 hours of wear under normal conditions.

• Smudge- and transfer-resistant finish for longer wear
• Fade-resistant pigments maintain color intensity
• Pairs well with brow gels or setting products for extra hold

How do I use the Blade & Shade pencil for best results?

Start by using the blade edge to sketch short, hairlike lines following your natural brow direction. Flip to the shade edge to softly fill in sparse zones and gently blend for a seamless transition. Finish with a clear or tinted brow gel to lock the shape in place.

• Short, light strokes with blade for realistic hair texture
• Shade side: light sweeping motions to build color gradually
• Set with gel or spoolie brush for a finished look

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin and cruelty-free routines?

The formula is designed for everyday cosmetic use and created without animal testing; NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP is recognized by PETA as a cruelty-free brand. If you have especially reactive skin, patch testing before full application is recommended.

• PETA-recognized cruelty-free cosmetics
• Cosmetic-grade pigments for standard use on brows
• Patch test recommended for sensitive skin
