These pencils come in tons of colors and I'd heard a lot of good things about them, so I picked up a couple because they are pretty cheap. They go on very smoothly and the color looks great. The only problem is that they crease pretty easily. I used a primer, and they still creased on a hot day. So I still use them if it's not too hot.
For an awesome base to any eyeshadow to someone who is on a budget, these are great. They provide intense pigmentation and last for a good while.
However, they crease like HELL. I mean, after 2 hours there is oil build-up and it kind of ruins the eyeshadow that you put on top.
Although I still use these, once I run out I do not think I would be re-purchasing.
For someone on the go that needs a little bit of color on their lids without any heavy makeup otherwise, these are fantastic. The availability is also appealing.
I even used these over UDPP (Urban Decay Primer Potion) and STILL had problems!
My 2 cents? I would rather get better bases like the ones MAC offers that do not ruin your entire makeup look
Happy shopping!

Great price, colors and texture.
I use this as a base for my eyeshadows so it'll last longer and stick better. I wouldn't use this alone though, it feels a bit too creamy so I know it won't last without powder shadow on top.
I was excited to finally try the NYX Jumbo Pencil in Cottage Cheese. I had heard great reviews about it and it was really inexpensive! However, it did easily crease... I found a solution to this, apply to coats of primer before using nyx jumbo pencil. The primer I use is Urban Decay Primer Shadow. I would not recommend that anyone would us the jumbo pencil without a costume, even if it only being worn for a brief amount of time.
I use mine for Highlighting and my inner corner. I have Milk and Cottage Cheese. Now Im hungry, haha. I use these daily and i love them. They stay on longer than any other products on my face. These are gorgeous and I wish i picked up more
I bought these in Black Bean (dark metallic greyish) and Cottage Cheese (white highlighting) from eBeauty. I adore them!!! I usually am not a fan of coloured eyeliners but these were SO cheap I couldn't resist. I use the cottage cheese (horrible name I know) under my waterline so it has a refreshed effect on my eyes. Sometimes I use Black Bean in conjunction with my black eyeliner just to give it a little cool glimmer. It's subtle and not overpowering. This is definitely a steal for the price!! Pick one up just to see what NYX is like - I think after purchasing these pencils I will try out other products in the brand.
This is a great pencil for eyeshadow and as everyone mentioned about the smudging, yes it becomes a problem but i dont think it works too well as an eyeliner because of the smudging. I also tend to dislike fat pencils because they always seem hard to sharpen, i have always had a problem with the sharpening process of all pencil eyeliners because some just keep shedding and breaking and by the time i know it my pencil is all sharpened away :( so far i havent had a problem with this one.
Since I usually love NYX and had never been disappointed before with their products. I decided to pick up one of their black jumbo eye liners (which I've been on a hunt for a good one) and they were on sale at Rexall for a great price. The colour is very vibrant and goes on really well and smooth. But unfortunately like others have said it creases into your lid so easily. All day i had to keep wiping the colour off of my lid and it looked like i was wearing eye liner from the night before. I'll probably only use it when i use a primer, shadow and want a intense whole black smoky eye lid so it won't matter when it creases.
I heard lots of great things about the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils from the YT beauty community, so when I finally came accross them at an Ulta store in Maine I couldn't wait to try one. I must say that the product is very pigmented and I love how the color glides on easily without having to press down or tug at your eyelid like similar products; however, I tend to have oily lids and even with a primer I found this product creased within hours. But hey, its not like you cant throw it in your bag and touch it up as needed.
I love the thick pencil eye liners usually and its hard to actually find them!
I bought one of these in black, it went on smooth and easy... but it smeared and creased like crazy... I failed big time haha. I'm not sure if I should of put something under it or what...but yeah, I was sad. I still use it on occasions if I dab with a cotton ball when its on my eye.
