NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Eye Pencil Review

I use milk as a base for my colorful eye shadows to make it pop. It's creamy, easy to blend and does a great job plus its inexpensive. You defiantly have to use a primer if you have oily lids, always make sure you set it aswell otherwise it will crease. The only thing I slightly disliked was trying to sharpen it, which is why I don't use it as much anymore because its such a mess/struggle to sharpen. It's not my go to product but its good for the price.

This product was a bit average. If you're in a rush and just want to use minimal products this is a good multi-tasker. I have it in MILK and use it to highlight my inner corner and brow bone which has a good effect. However, I found that it's a bit hard to apply and blend out it isn't as creamy as I thought it would be and it tugs a little on the skin as you apply straight from the pencil. I'm not in love with it but I also don't hate it.

I picked this up online after hearing about it in numerous youtube videos and I don't get the fuss about it.

When using the pencil as an eyeshadow base I have not found that it makes my eyeshadow stand out any more than usual, though it does help with it not sliding around and my shadows do stay in place better.

The pencil is quite bulky and drags on your eye lid which if you had sensitive eyes could be quite painful, it also requires quite a bit of blending out.

I have tried this eyeshadow stick multiple times over the past few months. I have the shade Iced mocha which is a beautiful bronzed milk chocolate shade. It applies really creamy and blends out well across the mobile lid. I applied this on top of a primer with a warm crease shade and it looked really nice, quite natural but with a nice amount of shimmer. About an hour later I found I needed to reapply a little more onto my lid as the colour had faded somewhat. Two hours later the cream shadow had settled into the creases of my lid and had to be removed. Without a primer this creases in less than half an hour. Unfortunately I think I will only be able to use this shadow as a base, or if I only need it to last for an hour or so. I would be far more inclined to reach for other cream shadows than this one because of its poor longevity so won't be repurchasing.

I am a convert of eyeshadow sticks and over the past few years have got rid of shadow and replaced with sticks.

When I saw the range of colours NYX off with the jumbo eye pencil I snatched up 3. Such beautiful colours and creamy application. However the fun stopped there for me. Tried it with and without primer, with and without BB cream that works with other products. Within a couple of hours or less, this stuff had gone from the crease. Shame because with this colour range I wouldn't have needed any other brand. Any tips appreciated.

I have a few of these pencils and I admit I am not a huge fan. I've used these as shadow bases but I've found that they have really a creamy finish which allows the shadow to move about. I've found that I also need to layer and blend when using these and in order to get the intensity I want, I have to layer up quite a but, Not very practical for the impatient! Very affordable and very easy to use. I'll keep the pencils that I have but I won't be repurchasing these.

Brought some bulk makeup once and this was in there, I didn’t like the size, it got all over my face, I am a tad clumsy and this certainly wasn’t for me.

The pigments were great however

I got this based on all the hype over it - I got the milk shade. I've since chucked it out as it just doesn't work for me.

I absolutely love white eyeliner/shadow. I never use it as a base for other eyeshadow colours, I always use it as either white eyeliner on my top lids or all over my lids as an eyeshadow. I just love how it sets my brown eyes off.

I got mine off trade me for pretty cheap, something like $6.00. Again, this is a case of you get what you pay for. The colour is absolutely fantastic, such a beautiful white. It glides on amazingly easily, no pulling or tugging your skin but as I have quite oily eyelids I can't get it to stay on for more than an hour, so disappointing, it ends up falling off my lids and into my crows feet - def not a good look.

Using a primer has made no difference, the consistency is just too creamy for oily skin.

Such a shame as I wanted to love it, due to the pigmentation of the colour, but it just didn't work for me.

Hey, another plus is you get a huge sized pencil for what you pay for it.
