NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - #Milk eye shadow base review & tutorial

nyx-jumbo-eye-pencil

If I’m in a hurry and I need to get the same results for a photo shoot or an 8h event, I usually tend to apply eyeliner pencils by the same method, but since these are usually waxy, they do tend to hold on a bit weaker than liquid eyeliners.

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk – any different?

By far the best one I’ve used as an eye shadow base is NYX Milk Jumbo Eye Pencil, an incredibly pigmented, rich and creamy product, that blends well and ensures a vivid colors and stops eye shadows from creasing.

Made with a blend of mineral oils and powder, the creamy Jumbo Eye Pencils glide on effortlessly, without the need of pulling or tugging the sensitive eye area. You can use them as an eye shadow base, a highlighter for the inner corners of the eye and the brow bone or as an eye liner, as it’s safe to use on the waterline as well. The only inconvenience with the last case would be its size – some call it “chubby”.

This amazing eye pencil comes in a rainbow of vivid hues that work both day and night. Depending on your skin tone, I would recommend Milk (white), Cashmere (shimmery champagne), Sparkle Nude (light gold with slight glitter), Strawberry Milk (pearly pink) or Cottage Cheese (shimmey light silver) as highlighters and bases for your lighter hues.

The rest of the hues include metallics, vivid greens, blues, purples as well as darker shades of gray, brown and black. The last ones are great aids into pulling of an amazing Smoky Eye makeup, so give them a try.

The collection consist of 32 shades, of which only 16 are available in Romania, through The Makeup Shop. If you order, make sure you also add a double cosmetic sharpener to your basket, as the Jumbo Eye Pencils can only be sharpened with a tool that has an opening for a large pencil.

Hope you try them out if you haven’t already and need a good eye shadow base that comes in a vast array of shades and a wonderful texture. I must admit I love them, and if I hadn’t previously discovered the NYX HD Eye Shadow base, I would use it all the time. Consequently, I switch between the two, like a NYX fanatic that I’d never thought I’d be…

    How does the nyx jumbo pencil work?

  • The NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil is a makeup product that is designed to be applied to the eyelids as an eyeshadow or as an eyeliner. Here's how it works:
    1. Application: The chunky pencil format makes it easy to apply directly onto the eyelids. You can glide the pencil across your eyelid or along the lash line, depending on the desired look.
    2. Blendability: The creamy texture of the pencil allows for smooth and easy blending. You can use your fingertips, a brush, or a makeup sponge to blend the product for a seamless finish.
    3. Pigmentation: The NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil is known for its intense pigmentation. It delivers vibrant and rich color in a single stroke, which can be built up for a more dramatic effect.
    4. Versatility: The pencil can be used in multiple ways. It can be applied as an eyeshadow all over the eyelid, as an eyeliner along the lash line, or even as a base for other powder eyeshadows to enhance their color and longevity.
    5. Longevity: Once applied, the pencil sets and dries to a long-lasting and smudge-proof finish. This ensures that the makeup stays in place throughout the day without creasing or fading.
    6. Removal: It is important to use a makeup remover specifically designed for long-lasting and waterproof products to effectively remove the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil at the end of the day.

    • To use the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil as a highlighter, follow these steps:
      1. Choose the shade of the Jumbo Eye Pencil that matches your desired highlighter color. Common highlighter shades are usually champagne, golden, or pearl shades.
      2. Prep your skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face to ensure smooth application. Apply your foundation, concealers, and powders before applying highlighter.
      3. Identify the areas you want to highlight: Common areas for highlighting include the cheekbones, brow bones, inner corners of the eyes, bridge of the nose, and cupid's bow (the area above your upper lip).
      4. Directly apply the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil to the selected areas: Gently glide the pencil across the desired areas and be cautious not to press too hard, as the Jumbo Eye Pencil is creamy and pigmented. Start with a light application and build up the intensity as desired.
      5. Blend it out: Using your fingertips or a makeup brush, blend the pencil into your skin in gentle tapping or sweeping motions. This will create a smooth, natural-looking highlight without any harsh lines.
      6. Set your highlighter: To enhance longevity, you can lightly dust a translucent powder or a powder highlighter in the same shade over the cream pencil to set it in place.
      7. Remember, it's always essential to test and experiment with the product to determine the desired intensity and effect.

      • To sharpen your NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil:
        1. Start by removing the cap from the pencil.
        2. Look for the small black plastic cap at the end of the pencil.
        3. Gently pull or twist the black plastic cap off the end of the pencil. This will reveal the pencil tip.
        4. To sharpen the pencil, use a regular makeup pencil sharpener. Make sure it is a suitable size for larger pencils.
        5. Insert the pencil into the sharpener and twist gently. Be careful not to apply too much pressure as this can break the pencil tip.
        6. Continue twisting until you achieve your desired sharpness. Check the tip regularly to avoid over-sharpening.
        7. Once the pencil is sharp enough, remove it from the sharpener and reattach the plastic cap.
        8. You can now use your newly sharpened NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil.
        9. Note: It is advisable to clean the sharpener after use to remove any residue or color buildup.
