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.
Best Base Eyeshadow!
I alwaaaaays use this white pencil to cover my eyes before putting on any eyeshadow. It works great as a primer because then the eyeshadows are true to color. My jumbo eye pencil has never creased on me, I have normal eyelids not too oily and not too dry. Some people don't realize that you can sharpen them though! You just need a big enough pencil sharpener.
