NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Blade & Shade Brow Pencil — Chocolate, Dual-Ended Nano Tip, Up to 16HR Wear

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Blade & Shade Brow Pencil in Chocolate is a dual-edged, nano-mechanical eyebrow pencil that draws ultra-fine hairlike strokes and provides shaded fill with up to 16 hours of smudge- and transfer-resistant wear.

This two-in-one brow tool combines a blade-thin tip for precise, hairlike lines with a shaded edge for seamless filling, so you can shape, define, and softly blend your brows without juggling multiple products. Designed as a mechanical pencil, Blade & Shade removes the need for sharpening and offers consistent control, making it easier to recreate the salon-inspired nano-blade look at home. Available in a range of tones, the Chocolate shade is formulated to match medium-to-deep brown brows and maintain a natural finish through the day.

How does the dual-edged tip create both hairlike strokes and shaded fill?

The pencil’s dual-edged design features a fine blade-style edge for drawing very narrow, hair-resembling strokes, plus a broader shaded face to softly fill gaps and blend the look. Flip the pencil between edges to alternate precise lining and gentle shading without additional tools.

• Blade-thin mechanical tip for ultra-fine lines that mimic brow hairs
• Secondary shaded edge for even, natural-looking fill
• No sharpening required — twist-action mechanism
• Compact two-in-one wand to streamline your routine

Will the formula stay put during a long day?

The Blade & Shade formula is engineered to resist smudging and transfer for wear that lasts up to 16 hours, helping keep brows defined from morning through evening. Its pigments glide smoothly for even coverage and hold without flaking when applied correctly and allowed a moment to set.

• Long-wear pigments up to 16 hours
• Smudge- and transfer-resistant finish
• Smooth-glide texture for even application
• Pairs well with brow gel for added hold

How do I use Blade & Shade to get a salon-style result at home?

Start by mapping the brow outline using short, light strokes with the blade edge to imitate natural hairs. Then flip to the shaded edge to fill sparse areas and soften the lines; finish by brushing through with a spoolie or setting with a clear or tinted brow gel.

• Map strokes from inner to outer brow with the blade edge
• Flip and shade to blend and build colour gradually
• Brush with a spoolie for a uniform, natural finish
• Seal with brow gel for extra hold or for humid conditions

Is Blade & Shade suitable for sensitive skin and ethical shoppers?

The product is formulated for everyday cosmetic use and designed to be gentle when used as directed around the brow area. NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP is a cruelty-free brand certified by PETA, so the pencil aligns with shoppers seeking animal-friendly makeup options.

• Intended for cosmetic eyebrow shaping and filling
• Cruelty-free certification — no animal testing
