These NYX shadow pencils are so creamy and blendable. The texture is amazing. I took off one star because when they are new they are a bit chalky so you have to use them on your hand for the first few swipes. After that they spread like butter.

You can use these as shadows, liners, and some colors are safe to use on the lips too. I like to use them as shadow bases. Pigments and powder shadows stick to these really well. It's a nice and inexpensive alternative to lid primers.

i recieved these in great packaging and i currently use them when i apply eyeshadow and pigments...overall, this is a good product to make colors stand out even more on your face.....my favorite would have to be bronze because it just makes any color with a gold undertone stand out more....for a more subtle look i would apply slate...i would recommend these to a friend...it would be nice to have different lots with different colors too...

So I got this awhile ago and never really used it. I was going somewhere special and I used this over my UD eye primer, this then my shadow. It looked gorgeous! As a dark skinned African American, it gave my shadow the pop it needed that I don't get when I use primer. I have the Gold, Coffee Bean and Milk. For the record, the Milk doesn't look good on my skin color. It just makes my shadow look chalky.

Best when de-potted as they are impossible to sharpen. These don't fit in any of my jumbo cosmetic sharpeners!!(-1 star).These work great when applied lightly with a finger,not a brush.A brush will leave too much product on and certainly DO NOT just use the pencil on your eye.If anything, place a bit in the center of your lash line and blend it out from there. If you glob it on, it WILL smudge and crease even with the best primer. Great for doing looks with glitter or heavy powder products as it works like a "glue". Highly recommend the black one for smokey eye looks!

TO DEPOT(need jars,blow dryer and pliers):
1.) Find empty sample size jars to fill (I got a bunch from Coastal Scents)
2.) Find somewhere to anchor the jars or tape double sided tape to the bottom and place on a surface.
3.)Remove cap and remove end cap(with pliers)
4.)Hold tip down by groove where end cap used to be with pliers
5.)Set blow dryer to hottest setting and blow directly down to melt the product, holding the pencil where the product can melt into the jars
6.)After all of the product is out, look down the center of it to make sure it's empty.
7.)Wipe away excess with a towel and let cool.Then, recap.

I love makeup and NYX but I have never ever used an eye highlighter pencil of any sort until this one, now I will never look back. I know it says this pencil is an eyeshadow but I'd never use it as an eyeshadow just because I don't like the idea of cream shadows. I've seen tons of gurus on Youtube use this pencil in the way I did today, which convinced me to buy it, and I'll swear by it now. I used it for the first time today in two ways. I put it on over my eyeshadow primer and it made the colors I put on more bright than they would be without it. I then used it on my inner lids by my tear duct and lined my water line with it. I would like to get a smaller pencil in this color for that but the effect was PHENOMENAL! I couldn't believe how much it made my eyes pop. Just adding that hint of white from the Milk pencil made my eyes look so much bigger and brighter I couldn't believe it. I would use this even on days I don't wear makeup just to have that really awake look. I will be buying more of this color.

Hi, so first things first. I got this within 5 days of ordering. During the holiday season. I opened up the package and it was positively covered in bubble wrap. I had been worrying that it'd be broken on arrival but the two pencils were fine.

I have been wanting these for a long time but as I have extremely sensitive skin I was worried about buying them. But I took a chance and got both Black Bean and Milk. They are amazing! When used with my brand new 120 palette they make the colors pop and last a long time.

The only down side I can find is that if you use this on the water line or if your eyes are very watery, you need to set it with an eyeshadow otherwise it leaks like crazy and you end up looking like a depressed raccoon.

I absolutely LOVE these "pencils". I apply M.A.C's paint pot in Bare Study, and apply either the milk or the cottage cheese over top just to give some extra "stickiness" for the shadow. I do like using a brush to blend it after I apply it directly to my lid. I can go all day without reapplying, with no creasing and no fading ((It's essential since I stand at a makeup counter all day!!!)) Now if only I could find an all day lip gloss ;)

I highly recommend these "pencils" to EVERYONE!!!

Good Luck!

ok so i heard about this product and decided to try it for myself.. i LOVE it. the item came to me SUPER fast.. the seller packed it up nice and secure! i HIGHLY recommend this seller and i will be buying more from Msss Kel in the near future! you go girl! GREAT bid-ness! lol 5 stars :)

Pros : glides on smoothly, blends easily, colors are just as expected (ordered this dark brown and also a black)
Cons : perhaps just a tad too creamy - - - have to use a shadow primer and set with loose powder or shadow in order to prevent bleeding and creasing.

Update on above review: After using this for a couple of months, I've found it's actually a little too soft to use as a normal pencil liner. I've instead, started using a thin, stiff liner brush with it and using it as a liner that way. Because this pencil is thick in diameter, the brush allows more precise application and also doesn't apply the product as heavily which really helps with the creasing and bleeding.

I would still purchase and recommend this product again, however I would use it with a liner brush instead of like a regular liner pencil.

I purchased this product to do my boyfriends mad hatter look for Halloween. The pencil applies very smoothly and a little goes a long way! It lasted all night never creased or ran. Very good product!
