NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Lift & Snatch Eyebrow Tint Pen — Gray Black, micro-brush hairlike strokes, 16-hour wear

Lift & Snatch Eyebrow Tint Pen in Gray Black is a micro-brush brow pen that draws realistic hairlike strokes for lifted, buildable brows that last up to 16 hours.

Designed for precision and a natural-looking finish, this NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP pen uses a flexible microtip to create everything from feathered, sparse-hair fills to bold, snatched arches. The formula is tinted and buildable so you can layer for more intensity without losing the hair-stroke effect. It’s smudge- and transfer-resistant for long wear throughout the day and pairs easily with other brow stylers for laminated or lifted looks.

How do I create a lifted brow with the Lift & Snatch pen?

For a lifted appearance, hold the pen vertically and make short upward flicks along the brow’s natural growth pattern. This technique mimics the direction hairs grow from the base toward the tail, producing a straighter, more elevated arc when blended subtly.

• Use vertical upward strokes from the inner brow toward the arch.
• Start light and build pigment gradually to avoid harsh lines.
• Combine with a spoolie or The Brow Glue for laminated hold before filling.
• Set gently with clear gel for added lift and control.

Will the gray black shade work on cool-toned brows?

Yes — Gray Black is formulated to suit cooler hair colors and those seeking a softer black with ash undertones. It avoids warm or red tones, helping the strokes look natural on naturally gray, ashy, or dark blonde brows.

• Best for cool and neutral undertones, including gray or salt-and-pepper brows.
• Layerable pigment lets you adjust intensity for depth without warmth.
• Pairs well with gray-tinted brow gels to maintain a cohesive shade.

How long does the wear time last and what about transfer resistance?

The Lift & Snatch formula is designed to stay put for up to 16 hours, resisting smudging and transfer through normal daily activities. Its thin, micro-brush delivery helps deposit controlled pigment so strokes remain hairlike rather than blocky.

• Up to 16-hour wear when applied on dry skin or set with clear gel.
• Smudge- and transfer-resistant for clean results during the day.
• For best longevity, avoid touching and use a setting product if needed.

How should I use this pen with other brow products?

Lift & Snatch integrates smoothly with pencils, powders, and gels. Use it to draw individual hairs, then soften with a spoolie or layer a lightweight powder for fullness. For a laminated finish, groom hairs up with a clear brow setter before applying pen strokes.

• Apply pen strokes first for hair detail, then blend or powder as desired.
• Use The Brow Glue or clear gel to lock hairs in place before filling.
• Finish with tinted mascara for added color and texture if needed.

Who is this for? The NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Lift & Snatch Eyebrow Tint Pen in Gray Black is ideal for anyone wanting realistic, hairlike strokes with customizable intensity — from people building brows from sparse areas to makeup lovers polishing an already-defined shape. It’s particularly useful for those with cool-toned or ash-colored brows seeking a long-lasting, smudge-resistant solution that pairs easily with brow gels, pencils, and other stylers.
