Create New Lipstick/Eye Liner Shades: Nyx Jumbo Pencil

Why You Need a NYX 'Milk' Jumbo Pencil in your Makeup Collection


I heard about this product from NYX years ago but it was so hard to find NYX in Ireland. Lately its becoming more and more available, with many pharmacy's stocking the brand so when I seen a NYX display in my local Pharmacy I had to pick one of these pencils up and let me tell you, I will never go without having at least one in my kit EVER AGAIN!



I've found many uses for the shade 'Milk' jumbo pencil, which is a white creamy pencil. Whether you are a makeup lover or makeup is your profession, you should have one in your kit!

Use 1: All About That Base
Apply a few strokes of the pencil to your lid and blend out with your ring finger. This acts as a base for your eye shadow, it will help you shadow adhere better to your eye lid and appear more vibrant and true to the colour you see in the eye shadow pan. 

Use 2: Colour Pop
For example if your want to add a pop of colour to the inner corners of your eyes as a highlight, or make your eye shadow appear more pastel in colour, pop a bit of the pencil underneath and pat the shadow on top.

Use 3: Perfect Pout
I love using this method to create new lip colours and it's perfect for creating an Ombre lip. Mix a bit of your 'Milk' Jumbo Pencil with your lipstick to create a paler, more pastel version of the chosen lip shade.
For creating an Ombre lip just apply your chosen lip shade to the lips then pat the Jumbo Pencil in the center of your lips and blend out with your ring finger to create a gradient effect between the two colours. 

Use 4 : Bright Eyed
This pencil has the most perfect, creamy consistency for lining the waterline and it last ages too. To make your eyes appear brighter and slightly bigger apply the pencil to the water line straight from the tube or with a brush, up to you.

Use 5: Wings on Fleek
Take an angled liner brush and apply some of the pencil to your brush,use it as you would with your usual gel/cream liner. You can keep it white or add a colourful eye shadow over top to create different coloured wings, saving some €€ at the same time!
