NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Eye Pencil Review

I like this product a lot, my favourite shade is milk (a milky white shade) mostly because I find myself reaching for it almost every day as a base for my eye shadow, It make the shadow colours so much brighter and more vibrant, I also have the brown and bronze shade but I don't use them as much because I mostly do lighter/ brighter eye shadow.

These pencils are seriously amazing, firstly they're cheap, and soooo pigmented for the price, they have a great colour range and you can use these in the Bottom lash line, under eyeshadows or even without eyeshadows at all, it stAys in place and the colours are beautiful.

Milk is the only one of these that I have experienced so far. I really like it as a base, but I'm not sure what the others would wear like without something over them (I get slightly oily lids and can imagine them sliding a little)

I first heard about Milk when Shaaanxo was doing a tutorial and used it as a base for some really vibrant colours. I wasn't planning on doing something that dramatic, but I was keen to have my eyeshadow 'pop' a little more. It is really pigmented, great as an eyeliner for brightening the eyes. But it also blends well for the lids.

Eyeshadow primer is great, but I sometimes find that my shadow still creases. When using Milk as the base instead, it has a little bit of a sticky feeling when you open your eyes, but when placing shadow on top it adheres well to that and stops the sticky feeling. I think it helps the shadow stay in place much better than any primer I have used.

I love how versatile it is! You can use it as an eyeliner, in the corners of the eyes, as an eyeshadow or even a shadow base/primer.

It’s also super cheap and affordable, and will last you such a long time, as they are jumbo/chunky crayons.

It’s really pigmented, and so soft! I always have issues with pencils and crayons as I have to drag them across my delicate, wrinkly eye area, but this one no tug or pull is necessary, it takes no energy at all.

I also like that the colour stays in place without any creasing. They do however need a little of a warm up before your first use. Scribbling on your hand before should do the job just fine. The lighter pencils also get dirty really fast around the tip, which is a bit annoying - but again just scribbling on your hand gets rid of it.

Something that annoys me is the tip however. It’s more difficult to use when it’s got a blunt end, and a tip is better to use. Because of it’s jumbo size, and the creaminess, it is difficult to sharpen as you end up just wasting it. It’s also breaks off easily, if you accidentally hit it or something, it will crumble and break off, and you will sit there crying so be careful.

Yes, the hype around this product is real! Many YouTubers have raved about this product, and for good reason. This is a cheap creamy eyeshadow base which is multifunctional. I have the colour "Milk" and I use it as an eyeshadow base to make my shadows adhere and last better, as well as appear brighter. I use it as a highlighter on my face under my shimmer highlighters, and I also use it to brighten my lower waterline and make my eyes appear bigger and brighter. I really like this product as it is a good quality for it's price. My only con about this product is that it is quite difficult to sharpen due to it's size and the packaging, however I just use a brush to get it out now. Overall, this is a great product, and something that I would consider a staple in any makeup user's kit, especially if you are looking for a cheaper alternative to something like a MAC paintpot.

I have the nyx jumbo eye pencil in milk and black bean. I primarily use the shade milk, not as an eyeshadow or a liner, but as a base. I find because it is a creamy/white shade it is really effective when u layer your "coloured" eyeshadows on top. It helps the shadows be more vibrant and also makes them last way longer and not crease. I simply close my eyes, draw over my lid with the jumbo pencil, then blend with my finger. These are really good as bases, and so affordable.

I love using this, I use it after applying a primer(Like UD Primer Potion) and before a super bright color to get the most payoff. I don't like this all over the lid because it can be super chalky and it's kind of difficult to work with drier matte formulas of eyeshadow but it is amazing for shimmers, sheen's, satin's and glitters. I've even had luck using matte MAC pigments(Clear Sky Blue and True Chartreuse) with this but it is not friendly with all formulas I guess. I love to apply UD All-Nighter Setting Spray(before mascara and non-waterproof eyeliner because it can cause it to run) and this gives me eye looks that look freshly applied, no oxidation, creasing or fading for HOURS. I also like to put some in my waterline and use a light nude, beige or pink on top to give me that more open or awake eye look that lasts a long time, otherwise nothing stays on my waterline. I like to use this on the eyelid with a neutral color in the crease

I really love the NYX jumbo eye pencils. It works absolute wonders , has a beautiful creamy consistency , great pigmentation and applies so beautifully . I'm in love!

I really like this pencil. It's a shimmery white and it's buildable, you can have a light shimmer or a more intense shimmer. Also it shows up really well on pale skin which is hard to find in a shimmery white. The pencil is nice and creamy and doesn't take too much effort to put on.

These shadow sticks are the perfect base for any makeup look. I currently own milk and mocha. I find that the pencil glides on so easily, and stays all day. Milk is a great multi purpose pencil as you can use it to line your waterline, as a base, and as a highlight for your browbone. Mocha is the perfect everyday base especially when set with a powder eyeshadow.
