I will say – in person, you really cannot tell a difference. The Anastasia is looking a little warmer in this photo, to me. The more that I look at this picture, the more I think the NYX is a better match for my brows. I just went in for a light filling so that I don’t look completely whack. Let’s forget it was a “no makeup makeup” day here and forgive that I do need to groom them a bit. Now for a look at the product on my actual eyebrows.

I was impressed! I always set my brows with a clear brow gel, though, and I didn’t notice a huge difference when the NYX was applied on my brows versus when the Brow Wiz was. I swatched both on my hand when I got home, and it took a lot longer for the NYX one to rub off.

The NYX pencil looks incredibly natural and is actually a lot more long-wearing than the Anastasia Brow Wiz.

It takes me a lot longer to fill in my brows than it does with the Anastasia Brow Wiz, but I’m willing to forgive that because sometimes waxy can be better.

The NYX Micro Brow Pencil is a little waxier.

It glides on, is creamy, and looks very natural.

The Anastasia Brow Wiz is very easy to use.

I can wear Taupe or Soft Brown in the Brow Wiz, but I think Soft Brown is a little bit of a better match. I would assume this is not a match at all.

Little did I know that Taupe would be an almost dead on dupe for Soft Brown! This may be disappointing, though, for people who are used to Anastasia’s Taupe.

I picked up the shade Taupe because I felt like there wasn’t anything similar (Ash Brown seemed like it would be too dark for me).

The Anastasia Brow Wiz comes in nine shades.

The NYX Micro Brow Pencil comes in eight shades, which is very impressive, considering it’s a “drugstore” product.

Maybe that makes it not an exact copy cat, so NYX can get away with it?Īnastasia Brow Wiz vs. They also open on opposite sides of the packaging logos.The only slight difference is the spoolie on the bottom is a little longer and thinner than the Anastasia Brow Wiz.NYX really is paying homage to the Anastasia Brow Wiz here (or is that copying?).

I think in order for this to be a good dupe, it should be a good color match, applies similarly, and performs as good as its high-end competitor. I have yet to find the perfect brow product at the drugstore, aside from the Milani Clear Brow Gel, so I was excited to try this! Anastasia Brow Wiz Dupe Despite the fact that I constantly keep two Anastasia Brow Wiz pencils in my possession at all times (I need a back up if one runs out! Hashtag makeup Armageddon…omgggggg), I had to try the NYX product out to see if I could find something that came remotely close and could call it my Anastasia Brow Wiz dupe. I’m all about a good dupe, and I love discovering new ones so I can share them with you. I spotted the NYX Micro Brow Pencil, and it looked eerily similar to my holy grail eyebrow product, the Anastasia Brow Wiz . We eat and makeup shop – that’s how we roll. I was perusing Ulta the other week with my bestie, Katie.
