NYX Professional Makeup Micro Brow Pencil

8.1
Lab score
The closest budget equivalent to the Brow Wiz: a fine retractable tip, a firm formula and a spoolie, at a fraction of the price.
It is slightly waxier and wears a little less cleanly by the end of the day, and the shade range is narrower. For most people the difference will not justify the price gap to the premium pencils.
