  • I'm so thrilled about this pen! Here's a simple review and tutorial of the NYX Lift and Snatch Brow Pen and why it's amazing for easily filling in overplucked, sparse, thin 90s eyebrows while still making them look natural and real. Here's a quick video on how I use it up close and magnified for those of us old enough to remember copying the looks of Pam Anderson, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie. We could easily sit and regret these plucking choices and be sad... but let's be happy because the Lift and Snatch Brow Pen is here and super affordable! (this is not a sponsored video) Mine is in Ash Brown.

    I didn't over pluck, because there wasnt much to pluck. Thank you for inspiring me to think of doing my brows as a little art project each day, this might unblah my brows!

    Your eyes are gorgeous!!! Great tutorial from another 77 gal 😊. Your brows turned out fantastic. My hand is never steady enough and I love your tip on just a few strokes and sit back to look. One tip I’ve learned from being unsteady and also heavy-handed is a spooly is your friend. You can gently brush your brows instead of using a q-tip.

    Yep. 1977 here too. 90s overplucking. I use Anastasia brow products (both the pen and the pomade) but I'm running out and will give this a try because it is so affordable!

    You gave a great demo for people who don't want or can't afford microblading. I use that pen to fill in the gaps where, after over two years, my microbladed brows have started to fade. Eventually I will get microblading again because it has saved me SO much time and aggravation that it was worth the cost.

    I think they look great! I think they aren't too think or too thin. I always liked the somewhat thinner brow myself. I never liked Brooke Shields' "caterpillar brows"!!😁 They say your brows are sisters, NOT twins, so.....👍

    I’m retired so I have time ‘to spare’, and my brows are fading away at the outer ends (as they do with age), but I don’t have the time/patience for this! I just use an angled brush, tapped onto my taupe-y powdered eyeshadow, to fill in my brows. Takes about 10 seconds total.

    I actually do not mind my thin eyebrows. They look good on my face. Eyebrows truly are a frame. Do I wish they were fuller (as a 64 year old)? Yes, but I'll be okay. At least yours grew back, it seems. lol. I'm going to try the pen!

    FOUND IT! Oh I'm so grateful that you filmed this! You are absolutely gorgeous, and I love that you are putting emphasis on natural solutions. We're the same age! I definitely am in that situation; I had Brooke Shields eyebrows but over-plucked into a round shape in the nineties and it didn't grow back. I'm saving this one and running to the store to get this amazing pen.

      @@unblahyourself I'm so excited, I went shopping today and followed your advice! I found a Burt's bees tinted lip balm that looks absolutely gorgeous, bought two MAC lipsticks (one red, one more natural), a tinted sunscreen, castor oil, brown mascara, a dark plum eyeliner (I have green eyes), and two eyebrow pens, one of them NYX (lift and snatch). I still can't reproduce the natural look you get, probably because I draw the hairs too close, but I'll keep practicing. Drawing a line on top and bottom before filling them in, is a game changer for me. I wish I could learn to do the little flick you do with the eyeliner to lift the corners of your eyes.
      While I was at it, I found two gorgeous bras without pads. My husband is French and you're right, he never liked the pads. ;-) I'm learning to embrace my shapes and my age and it's priceless to have you during the journey!

    Alas, I remember fussy beauty articles from the nineties proposing silly ways to prevent wrinkles…but none that warned that even moderate brow ‘shaping’ (plucking!) could lead to this! My gently tapered 90s brows now taper away into Nothingness! 🙄😅

    Never liked that thin brow look back then, it always looked to me old fashion, reminiscing the 70s, that saved my brows...But it is so comforting that there is something to be done now about our mistakes from the past, make up is so perfect since about the last 7 years, I have never bought something that I didn't like, everything works!

    My eyebrows are still thick enough even after plucking them for different shapes. In my natural shape a few hairs are missing plus I got some white hairs. Microblading is not an option in my case but I am glad to try this pen🩵
