NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Eye Pencil Review

My favourite colour is ice mocha! Glides easily and blend well. This jumbo pencil great as base colour as well.

I got this in the shade lavender which is a very light purple. I felt the swatch online made it look slightly darker then what it actually is so was slightly disappointed as I wanted a darker purple but it is still a very pretty colour.

The pencil is rather thick so I didn't buy it to use as an eyeliner but more so as an eyeshadow. It has a lovely creamy texture and is quite sheer on.

My current eyeshadow primer is urban decay and I tried using this first and then putting the pencil on top but it just creased and looked messy. I found that wearing it alone the colour payoff wasn't dark enough to stand out and it did cease after a few hours of wear. For me personally the best use of this pencil is as an eyeshadow base, for which it does an excellent job. It really enhances the colour of other eyeshadow and was less likely to crease.

The pencil is lasting me ages and while it does need a larger than normal sharper, most sharpers on the market now come with two sizes. So this hasn't been a problem.

I recommend this shade as an eyeshadow base. NYX make some beautiful shades so I will likely repurchase in a darker colour.

This chunky jumbo eye pencil is great for those dramatic eye effects as it smudges out with a brush or finger for a very intense look, but can also be precise enough to tight line. Very versatile.

Yes it smudges but once dried down it will stay put for the duration of the day as long as you don't go touching it, light tears or sweat don't budge it either. Sob like a banshee though and it will run off.

Find the black very dark and perfect for those gothic rimmed eyes. Affordable and easily accessible.

I love these jumbo pencils by NYX. I sometimes use as a base coat for eyeshadow or as an eyeshadow itself if want a creamy natural look. My favourite way to use them though is as an eyeliner on my waterline especially the nude, white or gold. They glide on so easily and pretty long-wearing. Really nice product and affordable.

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 purchased this in the shade milk which is just white. Very generous product size hence the name jumbo eye pencil. You do need a chubby sharpener to sharpen these ones. I use this on my waterline for when I'm looking like a tired zombie to really brighten my eyes. Pigment is insane and it glides on easily, very creamy and smooth. I find it lasts most of the day on my waterline without smudging or fading which is great.

I have about 5 of these colours now and absolutely love them, the only problem is that they would always crease (I use a pretty decent primer) until I tried putting them over eyeshadow, which makes the colour stick in place like glue and no creasing at all! I don't really use them as eyeliner though, as I tried that once too which resulted in it leaking onto my bottom eyelid.

I have 4 of these pencils. I find them to be a nice affordable product but not very long lasting. They are pigmented and apply nicely though. I think anyone who is interested in this product need to keep in mind that they don't claim to be a long lasting formula and state they are a pencil, not an eyeshadow. I have shades MILK, ICED MOCHA, PURPLE VELVET and COBALT.

Milk is probably the most popular shade. It's a very pigmented matte white. Ideal for the waterline, inner eye highlight or as a base to make your shadows colour more true to colour and popping. While it is great at all this, on my eye lids it just doesn't last. I tend to roughly apply over my lid and then blend it with my finger tip, it is easily blend-able. It isn't effective at prolonging my shadows unfortunately but my lids do need a strong primer which this product does not claim to be. It does crease on me.

Iced Mocha is a gorgeous bronze, super pigmented and creamy. Great blended all over the lid. Once again not long lasting on my lids and does crease.

Purple Velvet is a dark purple shade, while initially very pigmented it smudges away very easily once you start to blend. It's suited as a base when set with a shadow but like with all, you may want to keep it close to your lash line and away from any creases!

Cobalt is a bright blue with a shimmer to it. It's a lovely colour but it loses a lot of opacity if blended too much (which of course is expected)

All these depend on how you want to use them. I think their ideal use is slightly smudged on the lash line. Your not going to get a super tidy lined look as they are jumbo pencils and I find they wear off really quickly.

Of my 4 I only use Milk regularly.

These eye pencils are super useful and can be used in many different ways! For spfx, brightening the waterline, as an eyeliner, and as an eyeshadow base! The pigmentation is excellent and I find the shade 'Milk' especially awesome! You can use it under any eyeshadow to make the color twice as intense! A catch 22 of the product is that the pencil form is super easy to use, but when it gets blunt and it comes time to sharpen it can be such a pain/hassle! I couldn't find a pencil sharpener that would sharpen it so had to depot it and lost a bit of the product which was a bummer! The formula makes up for it though!
