Excellent under bright shadows
This pencil works wonderfully under bright shadows to make the colors really stand out and remain more true. The best part is, unlike many white pencils like this, this is not a frosted or sparkly shade but almost matte.
I do recommend using a primer under this as it can crease without one.

AMAZING BASE!
I love the jumbo eye pencils especially milk. They are creamy and very easy to work with. I love using them as a base for really bright shadows, they make the color stick on and not budge at all. But beware they crease, badly without a primer. Just be sure to use a primer under them and you're good to go! Awesome product NYX! :)
Creamy and useful
This product is what made me fall in love with NYX's products. Very useful, as a primer, as a mixable shadow and I'm sure it has other uses as well. I also have it in black bean, which I don't use as much but apply with an angled brush along my lash line. The only complaint I have would have to be with the largeness of the stick it comes in. I didn't have a sharpener that would work with it, so I had to resort to a sharp knife and whittling, which I suppose is fine, but a little inconvenient. I've read some people melted it in the microwave and poured it into a pot, but I am not really willing to possibly ruin my appliances this way nor do I have anything suitable to put it in, so whittling was my choice. I heard you can buy a sharpener from NYX that fits it, but I digress. The product is very creamy and I found myself using it quite a bit when I needed to lighten a shadow along the brow bone. I would totally recommend it, and if you can, try and find the sharpener they sell as well. It would have saved me a lot of time if I had thought to buy one.
Decent base, but watch for creasing
I bought this as a base for lighter shadows to make them pop. I ended up with creasing. I know a lot of people swear by these, but I never can get them to work for me. They are a great bargain though, and for shorter wear times they could work well.
