Key Takeaways

  • Lowest-priced pick: The Powder Louder Eyebrow Pencil is half off and one of the cleanest brow finds in the bunch.
  • Bestseller signal: The Ultimate Shadow & Liner Primer sits at bestseller rank 8 and matches what NYX shoppers actually search for.
  • Limited time deal: The Blurscreen SPF 30 Primer is the only flagged time-sensitive pick this week.
  • Gift-worthy under $10: Most picks land below ten dollars, which makes a Mother’s Day stocker easy to assemble.
  • Updated May 1, 2026: Prices verified the morning of publication.

Mother’s Day is two weeks out, and the makeup aisle has quietly turned into a gift-shopping aisle. NYX is the brand I keep recommending when someone asks for something nicer than the cheapest drugstore option but doesn’t want to commit to a Sephora-counter price. It performs, it photographs well, and the formulas have caught up to a lot of pricier brands over the last few years.

This week’s Berry Basket is heavy on NYX because the discounts got serious. I noticed two patterns while pulling the picks. First, the eye and brow category is taking the deepest cuts, with the Ultimate Shadow & Liner Primer down to roughly a third of its usual price and the Powder Louder brow pencils sitting at half off in two shades. Second, the brushes that are sold and shipped by Amazon directly, the Pro Buffing Brush and Pro Blending Brush, are at prices that make them easier to recommend than most marketplace tools.

Twelve picks below, sorted into face, eyes and brows, and a smaller lips and tools group. A few of these would slip nicely into a Mother’s Day card if you’re stuck. Browse all deals if you want to keep going after this list.

Which NYX face deals are worth grabbing?

The face category has the strongest mix this week, with a concealer, a bronzer, two primers, and a brush all sitting near or below the lowest prices I’ve tracked this spring. If you only buy one thing from this section, the concealer is the safest pick.

Can't Stop Won't Stop Concealer

This is the NYX product I see in the most makeup bags. Can’t Stop Won’t Stop is a full-coverage matte concealer that doubles as a foundation for people who hate the feel of foundation. Golden Honey is a midtone warm shade, so check your undertone before clicking, and note that the formula sets fast, which means you have to blend before it grabs.

  • 24 hour full coverage matte finish
  • Golden Honey midtone warm shade
  • Sold by Amazon

Matte Buttermelt Bronzer

Butta Dayz is a deep warm red, which makes it a bronzer for people with deeper skin tones rather than a universal pick. The Matte Buttermelt finish is what people are actually buying this for, since it gives a softer, more skin-like warmth than NYX’s older powder bronzers. At a current bestseller rank of 8, this one moves fast at sale prices.

  • Up to 12 hours of wear
  • Vegan formula
  • Butta Dayz deep warm red shade

Blurscreen SPF 30 Primer

The Blurscreen primer is the only limited-time deal in the post, so if you’re going to grab anything on a clock, it’s this one. SPF 30, no white cast claimed, and a blurring finish that sits well under powder. I’d treat it as a primer first and an SPF supplement second, not a replacement for proper sunscreen.

  • 3 in 1 blurring primer with SPF 30
  • Vegan formula
  • Limited time deal

Matte Blotting Paper

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Matte Blotting Paper

$4.69$7.54

Blotting paper is one of those products that’s easy to ignore until you need it on a humid afternoon. The NYX Matte Blotting Paper sits at bestseller rank 18 in its category for a reason, since it’s cheap, slim enough to live in a back pocket, and pulls oil without dragging powder off your face. Stash a pack in your bag and one in the car.

  • Pocket sized pack
  • Absorbs midday oil
  • Bestseller rank 18

Pro Buffing Brush

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Pro Buffing Brush,

$8.00$17.00

The Pro Buffing Brush is sold by Amazon directly, which is the detail I’d flag here, because brush quality on third-party listings can be hit or miss. The dense, flat-topped head is built for buffing liquid foundation or pressing setting powder. It’s a workhorse rather than a showpiece, and at this price it earns the spot.

  • Dense flat top head
  • Works for liquid foundation and powder
  • Sold by Amazon

What are the best NYX eye and brow deals?

Eyes are where the percentages get aggressive. The Ultimate Shadow & Liner Primer is the standout, and the brow category has two pencil formulas in one section so you can pick by preference rather than shade.

Ultimate Shadow & Liner Primer

If you’ve ever had eyeshadow crease by lunch, this is the fix. The Ultimate Shadow & Liner Primer in Deep gives a tinted base that grips pigment and helps liner stay sharp through long days. It’s a bestseller for a reason and one of the most-searched NYX products on its own, so a discount this size is worth jumping on.

  • Tinted Deep shade
  • Locks shadow and liner in place
  • Bestseller rank 8

Powder Louder Eyebrow Pencil

Powder Louder is a newer brow pencil from NYX, with a softer, fluffier deposit than a traditional waxy pencil. The Black shade reads cool and works well for genuinely dark brows. Buildable is the operative word, since one swipe gives a soft fill and three or four swipes lands closer to a defined shape.

  • Buildable powder finish
  • Up to 12 hour wear
  • Vegan formula in Black

Fill & Fluff Eyebrow Pomade Pencil

Fill & Fluff is the better pick if you prefer a creamy pomade-style brow over a powder. The Blonde shade is friendlier than most drugstore blondes, which tend to skew orange. The angled tip is small enough to draw individual hairs, useful if you’re trying to camouflage gaps rather than block in shape.

  • Creamy pomade formula
  • Angled tip for hair-like strokes
  • Blonde shade

Pro Dual Brow Brush

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Pro Dual Brow Brush

$6.99$10.00

The Pro Dual Brow Brush has a stiff angled side for product application and a spoolie on the other end for blending. It pairs naturally with either of the brow pencils above, and it’s also sold by Amazon, which is the version I’d buy. A spoolie alone goes a long way toward fixing overdrawn brows.

  • Angled brush plus spoolie
  • Works with pencils and pomades
  • Sold by Amazon

Which NYX lip and tool deals stand out?

The lip and tool group is smaller this week, since most of the lipsticks in the broader pool were color duplicates of products I’d already covered. These three earned their spots.

Lip Lingerie XXL Liquid Lipstick

Lip Lingerie XXL in Naughty Noir is a true black liquid lipstick, which is a costume color most of the year and a fashion statement around Halloween. The matte finish is genuinely long-wearing, and a black this opaque from a drugstore-priced brand is rare. If you want a wearable shade instead, NYX runs the same formula in dozens of nudes.

  • Naughty Noir true black shade
  • Long wearing matte finish
  • Sold by Amazon

Pro Blending Brush

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Pro Blending Brush

$7.00$10.00

The Pro Blending Brush is a fluffy domed shape built for crease work and soft eyeshadow transitions. It’s the brush I’d buy if I owned exactly one eye brush and wanted it to do the most. Sold by Amazon, which means consistent stock and predictable shipping.

  • Fluffy domed shape
  • Built for crease and transition shadow
  • Sold by Amazon

NYX Sharpener

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Sharpener

$4.50$6.47

A sharpener doesn’t sound exciting, but if you’ve ever tried to use a regular pencil sharpener on a creamy lip or eye liner you know how badly that goes. This one has two barrel sizes for standard and jumbo NYX pencils. Add it to a brow pencil order so you don’t have to fight a kitchen drawer sharpener.

  • Two barrel sizes
  • Fits standard and jumbo pencils
  • Sold by Amazon

Frequently asked questions

Is NYX Professional Makeup considered drugstore or higher-end?

NYX sits in the drugstore tier on price but is owned by L’Oreal and uses formulas that compete with mid-tier brands like Urban Decay. Most products run under fifteen dollars at full price, and the discounts in this post bring several of them under five.

Which NYX eyeshadow primer is best for everyday wear?

The Ultimate Shadow & Liner Primer included in this roundup is the most popular choice for everyday wear, and it comes in shades that match a range of skin tones. The Deep shade is tinted to blend on deeper complexions, while NYX also makes Light and Medium variants for fairer skin.

Are NYX deals usually this deep, or is this a sale event?

NYX runs rolling discounts year-round, but spring and pre-Mother’s Day weeks tend to hit harder than usual. Many of the picks in this post are at or near the lowest prices tracked in the last 90 days, which is roughly when this kind of bundle of markdowns last appeared.

Is NYX makeup a good Mother’s Day gift?

It’s a safe pick if you don’t know exactly what someone wears, since the prices let you build a small bundle rather than betting everything on one product. A primer, a brow pencil, and a lip product together still costs less than one prestige lipstick and feels like a thought-out gift.

How long do NYX sale prices typically last?

Most marketplace discounts run a few days to a couple of weeks, and the Blurscreen SPF 30 Primer is flagged as a limited time deal, which usually means under a week. Prices on this page were verified May 1, 2026.

Twelve picks, eleven of them under ten dollars, and discount percentages clustered between thirty and sixty-four percent off. That’s a stronger week than NYX usually gets outside of Prime Day, and the markdowns are real cuts off the listed prices, not the inflated original-price nonsense you see on a lot of marketplace listings. The eye and brow group is doing the heaviest lifting on percentage, while the face group is doing it on practical, refill-worthy products.

If I were spending my own money this week, I’d grab the Ultimate Shadow & Liner Primer and the Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Concealer without thinking about it, since both are products I’ve replaced more than once. The Naughty Noir lipstick is the one I’d skip unless you actually wear black lipstick, because a costume color at any price is still a costume color. The Blurscreen primer is the one with the clock on it, so if SPF 30 in a primer interests you, that’s where I’d start.

Watching for next week: Mother’s Day discounts usually broaden in the second week of May, with skincare gift sets and hair tools joining the makeup markdowns. If you missed the CHI flat iron picks from last week, those deals were still live as of this morning, and CHI tends to keep heat tools discounted through the holiday window. The NYX prices here are unlikely to drop further before Mother’s Day, so if a pick caught your eye, this is the right week.
