NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Eye Pencil Review

I have this pencil in Milk, which is the matte white colour. I thought I'd try it out as I heard it was really helpful for makeup and also worked as an eye-shadow primer or base. I've used it on my waterline, which was fine, and nothing special, except it is hard to be precise with a jumbo pencil obviously. But when I tried it as a base to do a silvery eyeshadow look, and applied it all over my lid, it was a disaster. It made me look like a ghost first of all, because it was so pigmented, but I thought it would be ok once I layered eyeshadow over it. But none of the eyeshadow would stick to it! It got all over my applicators, and I couldn't blend it or anything. It was thick and cakey, and just didn't sit right in any way. I don't know how you are meant to use it, but I obviously wasn't using it right, because it looked terrible and I had to wipe most of it off. I feel like the other colours might be ok on their own, but I got the white as I wanted something which could double as a base to keep bright eyeshadows bright. I will try it again, but from the past experience, it doesn't do what I thought it was, and I already have cheaper $2 white eyeliners which do the waterline just as well.

I purchased 4 of these little guys last year after seeing the amazing colour range they come in and the colours are just as amazing in person! However… They don’t like my face. I purchased Milk, Iced Mocha, Lavender and Purple Velvet. The “Milk” & “Iced Mocha” I have used the most, usually as a base. I apply them over the lid directly from the pencil, then blend all over with a brush or my fingers. I then use powder eyeshadow on top.

I notice that when using the Jumbo Eye Pencils as an eye-shadow on their own they don't last too long, after an hour or so the colour has gone or completely slipped off my eyes. I also found them difficult to blend, and would notice creases. I may try them again with an eyeshadow primer and some tips/tricks on using them, cause the colours again are amazing.

Love the jumbo pencil size as it's easy to hold and apply to my eyelid, and the tip is forgiving during application. You don't need a steady hand, just sweep it on and go. The texture is soft and smooth, and while the colour stands out on its own with a little shine/shimmer, I prefer to add a similar shade on top to make it pop. I have oily eyelids so I notice by the end of my work day there is some subtle creasing but the product has a creamy like appearance, so I don't mind the creasing.

I decided to buy one of these due to a lot of youtubers saying they make a good base for eyeshadow. I decided to get this in the shade milk which is a basic white shade. It is really pigmented and is super blendable. I have found that this does make a great primer as it makes any color pop and look more intense. I have found that this doesn't crease on me also. It is also a pencil you can use in your waterline if you wish. The texture of this is smooth and soft. I like that it is a jumbo pencil as I think it is easier to hold than a thin pencil. I would definitely repurchase this.

I bought this in the colour Milk (a white colour). Creamy and blendable pencil, great for using on your eyelids as a base/primer or for using on your waterline. It creases a little bit but smooths back out with a warm finger.

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.

I had been searching every where to get it with cheap postage and ended up getting it off trademe. I have to say I am very please with it, using it in the waterline really opens up your eyes and makes you look more awake. I also use it as a base under some of my eyeshadows. Definitely would repurchase

I bought the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk and it has changed my life. The consistency is amazing, it is so silky and smooth. I use it on my water line everyday, which brightens up my eyes and makes me look more awake. I have put it on my tight line in the past but didn't like it as it got into my lashes because the pencil is quite big, and it was a bit hard to go over with mascara. I also use it to highlight my brow bone and then use my finger to blend it in. This makes my brows even more defined. Overall, I love love this product, and would definitely buy it again!

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.
