Product Spotlight: NYX Jumbo Pencils & Swatches!

       I was sharpening my NYX Jumbo Pencils and it hit me, I should do a blog about these little babies! Most of you who aren't obsessed about makeup, probably are wondering...Uh I've never heard of the makeup brand NYX, let alone their Jumbo Pencils. In my previous blog-torial (the favorite going out look) I mentioned the NYX Jumbo Pencil in black bean. I used it as the base for my black eye shadow.

      Well what are they?...They are these thick eyeliners that also double as a base for your eye shadows which work amazingly (especially the white one!) NYX frequently sells out of the white jumbo pencil, called "Milk". Milk is frequently recommended on Youtube amongst users as a product they can't live without as a eyeshadow base for any eyeshadow color they want to make brighter. Milk, specifically is a great inner corner color to make your corner pop too. :]

    They have a very creamy consistency and go on SUPER smoothly.  They cost about $5/each and can be found online at NYXcosmetics.com or at Ulta.

    To use as an eyeshadow base: apply one swipe and use your finger to blend to the desired area. Don't over blend or the color will disappear! Also, don't worry about it looking messy. It's a base! You're putting more color over it!

      I own 6 different colors: 604 Milk (Bright White), 601 Black Bean (True Black), 622 Yellow (Sunny Yellow), 621 Hot Pink, 623A Purple Velvet (Medium Dark Purple), and  611 Yogurt (Medium Sparkly Champagne color)

   If wearing bright colors isn't your cup of tea, I suggest you only pick up one pencil and that's the NYX Jumbo Pencil in MILK. It will boost even the least pigmented eyeshadow you have no matter what color it is. :]


SWATCHES!:

Have an amazing week!
