You can't beat these jumbo eye pencils! I have at least 8 in various shades, my favourites being Yoghurt, Milk, and Iced Mocha. I would describe them less as being eye pencils as more as being cream eye shadows or bases. You can wear them alone or use them underneath powder eye shadows to boost their colour and lasting power. Milk is a particularly good shade for starting out as you can use any colour over the top and it will help make it more opaque. Yoghurt I've purchased multiple times, I love using it for day to day looks alone and under other pinky shadows. Iced Mocha is one of my favourite brown hued eye shadow colours. I definitely recommend you giving these a go!
Tips: Make sure you use a primer first or they will crease. Buy a few in bulk from ebay for quite cheap.
I have the Nyx jumbo eye pencil in Milk. Its a stark white and extremely pigmented. I got this because i had heard so many great things about it and heard it was amazing as a base.
I wanted this because i got the sleek matte V1 palette. Which is full of vibrant and bright colours. The problem with the palette was that it was very difficult to get the colours to show any pigmentation on my lids :(
I used the pencil in Milk as a base for my shadows and it makes a HUGE difference. I just smooth it out all over my lid and blend slightly. I then just pat the colours over the top and it makes them so much more vivid and vibrant.
The actual pencil is great. It has a thick/waxy feel to it. It is quiet tacky to the touch so its perfect for helping shadows stick/last longer. Once this is on it doesn't budge or wear off.
The one thing i don't like about this is the smell! It smells like weird chemicals and can be quiet off-putting to be honest. But with this the good definitely out weigh the bad.
This is such an amazing quality product for the price! I cant wait to buy more colours :)
I went a bit nuts when purchasing NYX jumbo eye pencils - ended up with ten shades. They are so creamy, easy to blend and highly pigmented - I'm a brown girl and they show up beautifully on my skin. I actually depotted all my pencils so I didn't waste any of the product. You can use these pencils as cream shadows or liners - and use the lighter shades as highlighters - either on your brow or upper cheekbone. I really love this product and the best part is that they are cruelty free - will be purchasing more shades in this so definitely a beauty lovers staple/must have product. Highly recommend.
Tips: Depot the pencils so you get all the product out and zero wastage.
I have this in the shade Milk and I mainly use it either to line my waterline or to use as a base for my eyeshadows and aside from the fact that it can tend to crease on oily eyelids it works great and does the job. I wish the caps were a bit more sturdy though, mine broke and it just keeps pushing at the top of the pencil when I sharpen it... needless to say its a bit of a creamy mess. But anyway, good product if you want an affordable base!
Tips: Use primer if your lids get oily a lot
I use my NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk for highlighting areas along the eyes and brows and it works wonders, the only let-down would be the lack of twist-top to allow ease of access to the product as you go! You will need to purchase a jumbo-sized sharpener to peel down the plastic pencil itself, OR, if you're feeling more creative, you can look up a de-potting tutorial online.
Tips: Buy a BIG sharpener! NYX sells one especially for this pencil.
I love the colours and vibrancy of the NYX jumbo pencils. I have 3 but probable my most used is milk. It helps make any eyeshadow that you place on top, brighter (especially great for bright, colourful eye shadows) there are a few negatives though. Finding a sharpener big enough and Creasing (oh my goodness, it creases) I do love it but you need to be light handed and apply lightly as to not crease as much. It also helps to dust a skin tone colour all over your lid after using it, as a base for your other shadows.
Tips: Don't use when not sharpened! Ouch!
I have the jumbo pencil in Milk and it is so good for so many different looks. I use it on it's own blended out with a slight crease shadow for a bright pop on the eyes. I use it in the waterline with a dramatic eye to really open the eye and make it look bright and awake OR I use it as a base for vibrant, rich colours to ensure they show their true beauty rather than be lost on my skin tone. The product is creamy and blendable but will slightly set after a few minutes which helps it stay all day! For the price, the formula and the staying power this is my holy grail creamy pencil product!
Milk. The impossible to find colour. I searched high & low for this beauty to no avail, until SUDDENLY a wild Milk appeared online & I snatched it up in the nick of time. I am forever on the prowl as I would like to stock up, i'm afraid i'll run out. It is the PERFECT colour, I can use it as a base for my eyeshadow, and eyeshadow alone, in my waterline, the possibilities are endless.
Tips: Whenever you see it buy it, they don't last long!
I have the jumbo pencil in milk and i love it. I heard it raved about for aaages and finally decided to purchase. i love using this on my waterline smudged out to make my eyes appear brighter. Lasts forever i've had it for months and haven't even needed to sharpen! Stays on really well also
