NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Eye Pencil Review

I have struggled to find a holy grail eye pencil. I have tried heaps (and I mean heaps) and not one of them have really stood out and made me go WOW. Until my lovely friend gave me this one. She gave it to me in the purple colour and can I just say WOW lol. Why do I like this so much, well read on.....

Size - its a great size, not too big but not too little either. Its comfortable and not bulky to hold, so its pretty easy to use.

Formula - can I just give a hands up for this formula please. Its so creamy and it glides on just beautifully. I like my eye pencils to be dark and thick and to go on straight away, without me having to apply over and over to get the colour to show up on my eyes. This is instant, maybe twice at the most and thats because I like it to be really dark. You could get away with just one application.

This is my ultimate favourite eye liner and I'm super fussy. Only problem for me is getting my hands on more of them. I wear the purple one because if you have hazel eyes, it really makes your eyes pop.

So if you have hazel eyes, or you're just looking for a really easy to use eye pencil that gives results, then you need to try this one by NYX :-)

I bought the milk colour if this product a while ago and have been obsessed ever since! The pencil is a very smooth cream based formula that applies so well. The colour payoff is great and it is so easy to blend and build up! I love using milk for highlighting inner corner and brow bone, and the other colours act as great base, lid and crease colours that can be blended together so perfectly! The only issue I have found is that when the pencil gets low, it gets hard to sharpen, but that is expected with a pencil! Would highly recommend!

I absolutely love my jumbo eye pencils! They come in a HUGE pencil, the product lasts for AGES!

I love to use mine as bases under pigments or other eye shadows - it makes them stay longer, and the colours pop more!

The formula is super smooth, and the pigmentation is great! It glides onto your lid really nicely. It is also very easy to blend!

It is super easy to use, and I would recommend to beginners and pros! And it is super cheap considering how big it is!

I have a couple of these in different colours but my go to ones are the "milk" and "yoghurt". The milk pencil is fantastic to use as a base for eyeshadow, if I'm wearing really bright colours I'll pop this underneath and it makes the colours really pop and look vibrant. The milk one is also handy if I'm having a "my baby woke up a million times last night" day and I look like I haven't slept in a week, I use this on my water line and it opens my eyes back up and makes me look human and awake. I find the yoghurt one tends to be my daily waterline pencil, it does tend to fade a bit so I top it up once or twice a day at work.

I have this eye pencil in the shade Iced Mocha. It's a lovely cool mid toned brown shade. It's an easy to wear every day shade for me. It applies really smoothly with no tugging. It is amazing quality for the price, and performs well compared to more expensive brands.

Youtube gurus swore by these and I had lusted over these since I started makeup school in 2009, I finally got my hands on a few from a trademe seller that sold me 3 for $36 which was an ultimate steal back in the day. I brought Milk, Yoghurt and Black bean.

The colour payoff is amazing, they glide on smoothly and have an even layer of colour. I use each colour for bases before applying my eye shadows.

Milk- For when I wear bright eye shadows that I really want to pop! I also used this colour for face painting

Yoghurt- For natural looking eyeshadows, all the browns, golds and yellows I would apply this to my lid. Also great to use for lips before applying lipstick or just adding gloss over the top.

Black bean- My favourite, to create dark smoky eye looks, I like to apply this over my lid and add a dark red or purple over the top and blend it out. I also use this colour for face painting.

I have been meaning to buy more colours but never got around to it. There is a huge range of colours and they are great value for money. The only down fall is sharpening them, I have had mine for just under 4 years and I still have a third left in each pencil.

Highly recommended to all, its an absolute must have, you are missing out if you don't own any of these!

I bought these after seeing shaanxo rave on and on about having them as a eyeshadow base so I bought milk (white) and a cashmere (gold) and im so glad I bought them! they make your eyeshadow last longer they are super creamy, last forever, my cashmere does have a shimmer to it so best not to get this colour if that's not what your into! im definatly going to invest in more colours :)

I purchased two of these. One in milk a opaque matte white which is perfect for an eyeshadow base for coloured eyeshadows to enhance the vibrancy of the look and another one in french fries which is a gorgeous shimmery bronze shade.

I love how creamy these are, it makes them super easy and comfortable to apply to the lid. They have good pigmentation and are great for a nice smudged eyeliner. I use these both as eyeshadow bases, as cream eyeshadows by themselves and as eyeliner. I have never had issues with these creasing and I find they wear really well. I would definitely recommend these to others and will be buying more shades in the future. They are super affordable too as most of NYX products are which makes them all the better.

I own 5 of these. I purchased them off BeautyJoint over to separate orders. Five shade I own are Cottage Cheese,Milk,Black Bean,Sparkle Nude and Cashmere.

COTTAGE CHEESE: This is a sparkly white colour similar to Milk but I don't think as strong and pigmented as Milk. I use this mostly and a base for a make up look if I was going to do an intense look and wanted a little sparkle to my eye shadow I think this one provides a not too over the top simmer. I also think it makes an amazing brow bone highlight.

MILK: Milk would be the one colour most talked about on Youtube and anywhere else. Its a strong pastel white. It's crazy pigmented and super blend able. It's my most used colour out of them all. It makes an amazing primer. Putting this on before using eye shadow makes the colour I am using pop and look so much more intense. I also find that this doesn't crease on me.

BLACK BEAN:This is their black they have. I mostly use this as an eyeliner but this could be used as a dark crease colour as its super blend able aswell. This one is so soft and glides on really nicely on the lid.

SPARKLE NUDE: This is a shimmery bronze colour. This looks amazing over top of "milk" I really like this one its works really well blended it the crease with other colours.

CASHMERE: I would say this colour is similar to Sparkle Nude but it's alot more towards a gold colour i use it pretty much the same as Sparkle nude as well. If I'm going to be working with gold eye shadow colours then I will also use this as a base as it starts the look off really well.

These are awesome pencils and are so handy with so many eye shadow looks. Would highly recommend.
