I had purchased the Zoeva eyebrow product to try out and noticed that NYX have a skinny eyebrow pencil so thought maybe these could be dupes.
PACKAGING (NYX):
NYX comes with the plastic around it so nobody can use it but otherwise it's a normal looking eyebrow product.
PACKAGING (Zoeva):
Zoeva's comes in a box but otherwise the actual product looks like every other eyebrow product.
CLAIMS (NYX):
Build full beautiful brows with our ultra-thin Micro Brow Pencil. So precise, it coats even the finest hairs with colour for a natural-looking finish.
Vegan
CLAIMS (Zoeva):
Long-lasting, sculpts and perfects brows
Waterproof
Smudge-proof formula
Ensuring a rich color payoff, the ultra-fine, retractable pencil creates precise strokes, mimicking the natural hair and filling in the brows with ease, while the spiral brush grooms into shape and softens the color – for a natural-looking, uniformly dense and well defined brow. The formulation of the brow pencil is enriched with vitamin E and C and is 100% free of animal-derived ingredients.

Before we start, I am not the best at brows, I have really white eyebrows and never pluck, tweeze, thread or wax them so they can be quite unruly.
NYX Eyebrow: I had to work the brow pencil a lot, it isn't as pigmented as I like my brow pencils to be.
Zoeva Eyebrow: Glides on and is very pigmented.
You can tell the colours aren't a match.
I used my everyday clear brow gel that I am currently using to set my brows.
Makeup all done and I am so glad I don't need to go out anywhere because these eyebrows are not the same colour.
Update #1 (9pm): Both of them look decent enough.

Looks the best longest: Both
Best packaging: Zoeva - now I say this because both of the actual applicators are the same however the packaging it comes in, I prefer a cardboard box that can be recycled over the plastic shrink wrap that can't be as easily recycled.
I know the colours aren't dupes and as NYX have more shades maybe there is a shade more of a dupe to the Zoeva but it was the product itself that I was seeing if it was a dupe but it isn't, the Zoeva is more creamy and easy to apply.
Is it a dupe: No
