Best for

Anyone who already uses or considered the Clear version of the Brow Glue but wants the gel to also add color and density to the brow, not just hold.

  • Taupe shade
  • Extreme hold
  • Tinted

What is it and what's it for?

It works the same way as a hair-holding gel, just at brow scale: a fast-drying polymer that keeps hair combed up and out for hours, like a salon brow lamination. The difference from the Clear version is that this gel carries pigment — Taupe, a neutral ashy brown — so while it holds the hair in place it also tints it, adding the look of a denser brow without a pencil.

Real-world use cases

In your daily routine

At home it's applied with the included small brush, combing hair up and out before it dries — the same step of the 5-minute routine as the Clear version, but without needing to add color separately with a pencil.

Professional use

A makeup artist working with several clients in one day uses it to quickly even out brow look on light hair, because the Taupe tint adds visual density without the time it takes to fill in a brow hair by hair with a pencil.

How to avoid buying the wrong one

  • It's a tint, not coverage: if you have large gaps in the brow or very light hair, Taupe adds color but won't fill in like a pencil or pomade — that needs a different product.
  • Pick the shade by your brow hair color, not your hair color: Taupe is a neutral ashy brown, the most versatile of the line's 4 shades for blonde or light brown brows, but it won't work for very dark or black brows (go for Dark Brown or Black in the same line instead).
  • If you've never used the formula, start with a small amount: applying too much can leave visible white residue once it dries, as several buyers note in the product's real reviews.

The investment takeaway

It costs about the same as the Clear version (both around $10), so if you're buying a Brow Glue either way, picking the tinted shade that matches your brows up front saves you from buying a separate brow pencil just to add color — two steps in one bottle instead of paying for two different products.

Frequently asked questions

What is the NYX Professional Makeup The Brow Glue Tinted, Taupe — Extreme Hold Brow Gel with Color for?

It works the same way as a hair-holding gel, just at brow scale: a fast-drying polymer that keeps hair combed up and out for hours, like a salon brow lamination.

Who is it a good fit for?

Anyone who already uses or considered the Clear version of the Brow Glue but wants the gel to also add color and density to the brow, not just hold.

What should I know before buying it?

This is the tinted sibling of the Brow Glue line: the same extreme-hold, lamination-style gel as the Clear version already in this catalog, but in the Taupe shade, so besides holding brow hair in place it also adds subtle color and density. Amazon's real customer review summary is mixed: most say it holds the natural look all day, but some buyers feel the tint is too subtle to fill in sparse brows, and others report it can dry out and leave a white residue with use. It is not a brow pencil or pomade — it doesn't draw in or fill specific gaps, it only tints the hair that's already there.

Is it worth it?

It costs about the same as the Clear version (both around $10), so if you're buying a Brow Glue either way, picking the tinted shade that matches your brows up front saves you from buying a separate brow pencil just to add color — two steps in one bottle instead of paying for two different products.

How much does it cost?

The reference price is $9.99 on Amazon. It can change, so check the current price before buying.
