ONYX #108

The Deepest Shade in the NE Pigments Palette

ONYX is the darkest brow pigment in the NE Pigments collection, specifically developed for clients with Fitzpatrick Skin Types V–VI.

Traditional brown and neutral pigments often lose visual contrast after healing on highly melanated skin, making the result appear soft, faded, or barely visible. ONYX was created to solve this challenge.

This shade is a rich charcoal-black with a subtle warm softening. It does not heal into a cold bluish black and avoids the flat graphite-gray appearance often seen in very dark pigments. The slight warmth helps maintain depth and visibility while creating a more natural-looking result on darker skin tones.

Who ONYX Is For

• Clients with Fitzpatrick Skin Types V–VI
• Very dark natural eyebrows
• Men with black or nearly black hair
• Clients who need more contrast after previous procedures
• Cases where standard dark brown pigments appear too light after healing

Healed Results

ONYX heals into a deep charcoal shade with exceptional density and strong contrast. The color maintains its visibility and depth even on skin with high melanin content, where many pigments tend to visually disappear.

The result is bold, defined, and long-lasting without appearing artificially cold or overly harsh.

Application Recommendations

• Use alone when maximum contrast is desired.
• Add to other shades to increase depth without significantly cooling the mixture.
• Ideal for powder brows and dense shading techniques.
• Can also be used for lash enhancement and eyeliner procedures when a softer, more natural alternative to pure black is preferred.

Why Choose ONYX?

Most dark pigments on the market were originally developed for light to medium skin tones. ONYX was designed with the opposite goal: to deliver a visible, stable, and expressive result on the darkest skin types while preserving a natural appearance and refined depth.

When a standard dark shade is no longer dark enough, ONYX provides the contrast, definition, and longevity your clients need.
