Great product! Does sharpen I promise
I honestly really like this product, though I didn’t realize it could be sharpened given the plastic tube. It is a softer plastic do it does sharpen easily. No you don’t need to buy a NYX sharpener it just has to have a jumbo sized sharpener. Though the NYX sharpener is way cheaper than the NARS one I bought for some reason yeaaarsss ago. I like how well this product blends out, it is incredibly smooth and creamy. I often use it for brightening any spots that naturally catch the light on my face, kind of like a highlight but not a shiny highlight. Will be getting some other colors for my eyes to use as an eyeshadow though!... Show more

Love These.... BUT!
I love these and have one in almost every color. Have used them for years for simple and subtle daily application as well as dramatic color blending for evenings. Tons of compliments which says alot about a product that can be used by a woman in her late 50s.I have never had a problem with any of them except (unfortunately) my favorite color which is eggplant, just stunning with blue eyes. I get a horrible reaction to it that looks like the worst, gookiest, pink eye you've ever seen. Takes days to clear up. This has happened twice with a brand-new, just opened stick, so I end up throwing it away.I can't be the only one. I hope NYX looks into this and replaces the offending ingredient.... Show more

Multipurpose incredible quality
The packaging is fun chunky and great quality, with a lid that is good quality so it won’t break and can protect it. It is a product you have to sharpen with a pencil sharpener.I found formula is incredible with it being so pigmented, applying evenly and smoothly without disrupting any makeup around it which is rare for a cream product! You can make it a subtle hint of colour or all out as it’s so pigmented, it will last a long time as less is more.It’s a multipurpose product which I’m obsessed with as I use it for eyes whether it’s a base or for the colour or art work, lips for a base to make other lip products pop or on its own and it looks incredible as highlighter if your not a fan of the glitter ones by the eyes nose cheekbones etc.I’ve always loved the ...

Perfect!
I was gifted the Jumbo Eye Pencil in the shade Milk and I’m so thankful I was.This is highly pigmented, easily blended and easily buildable for a more intense look.The packaging is white matching the colour of the pencil; the see-through lid also allows you to see the colour.This can be used as an eyeshadow base, an eyeshadow, a liner/graphic liner and of course let’s not forget those Halloween looks (my personal favourite) so it is perfectly versatile.I found this to be creamy, glide on effortlessly to the eyelid and feel completely comfortable for the duration of wear. I didn’t find I needed to work exceptionally quick with these but depending on the look you’re doing would recommend completing one eye first and then moving onto the next to prevent the ...

This does dry down matte.Overall I’m super impressed with this due to its versatility, the longevity of wear and how comfortable it feels. I’d absolutely recommend this!Key points:• Available in 16 shades• Versatile product uses• Sharpenable (with a sharpener that has an opening for a large pencil)• Highly pigmented, blendable and buildable• Creamy texture• Matte upon dry down...

Pugmented and solid white colour!
I have not tried many Nyx products, those that i have tried I am impressed with. I was gifted this by NYX for my honest review.This is a great twist up pencil. It has a lovely, creamy texture that glides on the skin. It is also very easy to manoeuvre and apply as it gives you control due to the pen type design.However, it is far too thick and harder to do the design you want. The tip of this should be thinner so that you can be more creative with your designs, and this will also allow you to be able to build up or colour in the sections you want. That is why i scored it 4, instead of 5. I found I couldn't actually do a thin line with this.It is very pigmented and gives an instant pop of colour. It is impactful and stands out really well.

You can create a multitude of looks with this. I would most definitely buy this again if the design could be implemented to a thinner tip for more control over designs.It was easy to remove with micellar water, and it didn't smudge or transfer onto my lid. It stays in place very well.... Show more

This pencil is the best for smokey eyes !
I received the NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Eye Pencil for testing as a member of the NYX Community, for which I am very grateful.Jumbo Eye Pencil can be used as a shadow, eyeshadow base or eyeliner. Available in 24 shades. Jumbo Eye Pencil that also works as an eye shadow. Creamy Jumbo crayons are made from a mixture of oils and mineral powders. Jumbo Eye Pencil pencils can be sharpened using sharpeners with a larger opening.This pencil is a thicker pencil, but sharpening it should not be a problem. I'm surprised when I read that someone couldn't find a sharpener for wider pencils anywhere and that's why they throw a given jumbo pencil aside. The pencil sharpens nicely and does not break. Of course, it has a plastic protective cover.Color is a matter of ...

Of course, it has a plastic protective cover.Color is a matter of taste and not everyone will like the black color.I like to apply it less or more intensively. I do it with almost every make-up, this treatment really makes my eyes look bigger and reduces tiredness and lack of sleep. It's true that the pencil is thick and you usually have to sharpen it well to draw a thin line, but it's not a feat. Moreover, the pencil is easy to remove if this happens to you.This pencil is the best for smokey eyes. It is easy to blend and blends with the skin, giving a very natural make-up look. Thanks to this, the intensity of the color and the effect we want to achieve can be quite gradual. Its accessible formula makes me want to look at other colors. I wonder how white would work, for example.I would describe it as long-lasting, it is visible on the eyelids and skin for a really long time. It is also worth adding that it is gentle on the eyes and does not irritate them - this has happened to my sensitive eyes before.I really like the pencil, its formula is so comfortable and easy to use that I hope to find some other colors of Jumbo pencils and buy them....

Waste of money, waste of plastic, waste of time
NYX I'm going to level with you. The formula of this product is really lovely, easy application, pretty long lasting, really blendable, great all around. I have a few of them, and they all look great.Or I should say, looked great for the maybe three uses I was able to get out of them before resorting to scraping product out with a pair of old tweezers."It's sharpenable!" It's not. The tag line of your product should not be that it's sharpenable, it should be evident from the packaging and design that that's how it's intended to be used. Plastic casing feels nothing like a pencil, it *feels* like it should be a twist up. If it was meant to feel like a pencil, it should be wood, like a pencil, or come with a pack of sharpener blades.

It's not. The tag line of your product should not be that it's sharpenable, it should be evident from the packaging and design that that's how it's intended to be used. Plastic casing feels nothing like a pencil, it *feels* like it should be a twist up. If it was meant to feel like a pencil, it should be wood, like a pencil, or come with a pack of sharpener blades. I've tried it in three different sharpeners, all in the correct sized hole, and because you're trying to sharpen the THICK PLASTIC CASING, nothing but a brand new, unused sharpener blade will even come close to sharpening this into a usable product. There should not be videos, tutorials, guides online about how to get more than 3-4 uses out of this product. But all PR is good PR right? I've taken off the end cap at the bottom, and you can see that there's product in the tube all the way down, and in fact, I've used a pair of tweezers to wring more product out of these stupid plastic tubes. And I'm not the only one. The pictures in these reviews show broken open casing, either by accident from trying to figure out how to twist it up, or from trying to get more than a few uses out of the 6$ they spend on a crayon. Having to scrape out product from the tube COMPLETELY defeats the purpose of it being a pencil shaped thing, it might as well just be a cream shadow in a pan, and then no one would be complaining!I do mostly full face, illustrative work. I understand that I use more product in one look than probably most people. Maybe if you just use these to line your lids once in a while this product is fine. But once you hit the plastic, it's done. It's advertised as a liner, a shadow, or an eyeshadow primer. To quote NYX directly:"As an eyeliner (just sharpen the tip and trace your lash line), as an eyeshadow (use the creamy crayon to color your entire lid), or as an eyeshadow primer. If using it as a primer, we suggest coloring in your eyelid with the shade of your choice..." (Q&A page)Other than lining, using it as a shadow or primer uses a pretty substantial amount of the tip of the 'pencil', which is all most people will use of the product. Forget about repeat usages, I'm sure NYX would prefer it if you resorted to just buying another one.If you're already going to CVS to pick up another, may I recommend the Wet N Wild Multistick instead!It is the exact same concept, a dollar less than this god forsaken thing, very similar formula, is available in 6 more shades, AND IS A TWIST UP. I don't know which released first but if Wet N Wild released theirs first, this is a sorry attempt at a copycat. If they released it after NYX, then they should just give up the charade.NYX, you lost this one by making a good product that's frustrating to use at best, and a waste of money and plastic at worst....

You CAN Sharpen! NYX is sticks to use!
Ive bought Every Eyeshadow Stick (ok I still need 2 buy Fentys) & whereas theyre all pretty Great except for thr HIGH Price.. NYX is clear winner. I love Bobby Brown for all the Sparkly for when I'm going all out for Holiday/Special Occasion/decked out look;) but Im still going use NYX for the White "Milk" along w/ my BB, Laura Mercier, etc.I love NYX 'Sherbert' (pinky-coral) as that shade makes more of an empathasize on my Blue/Green/Grey eyes (change w/mood/clothing etc) & really POP no matter which eye color. Im sure the Shade is also awesome for Brown eyes as well!! Anyway~The reason Im compelled to write a Review~ IF you're basing whether to purchase these bad boys on others Reviewers where 'some' dont know you MOST DEFINITELY CAN "SHARPEN"..then You my Friend ...

NYX Jumbo pencils cost what $5-7??..other eyesticks around $20-40 which will also sharpen but the product breaks off/stuck into sharpener &/or breaks applying onto your eye & those high $$ dont even get a bad rap or mention of losing product.
