Most will be more familiar with NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils
as so many rave about their great base like qualities.
I have tried a few and was generally impressed by the formula
which lead me to trying NYX's Jumbo Lip Pencil's.
Today I have a muted brown shade named Pecan to share.


The packaging is pretty straight forward,
a black pencil like plastic tube that is easy to sharpen
yet solid enough to protect it's contents.
I like the fact that it is black as it makes it a little easier to differentiate
between the lip and eye version.


Pecan is bullet/nib form looks like a light blue based pink nude
yet applied it takes on a slight purple leaning cancelling out any hints of pink.
The pigmentation of this shades is rather superior and the finish is slightly glossy.
NYX Pecan will show up on any skin tone but I do believe that only a select few
will actually find the shade flattering!


You would be forgiven for assuming that these pencils would be similar
in constancy and texture to a lip liner but they are worlds apart.
NYX Jumbo Lipstick pencils are butter soft, they glide on without tugging
and deliver a high dose of pigmentation in one swipe.
The majority of shades do not have a matte finish rather a satin or gloss type result.
The beauty of such lip stick pencils is that they can line and fill the lips with colour
saving time and money on finding a perfectly matching lip liner.
The darker shades of the NYX Jumbo pencils do have a tendency to stain and feather
so obviously those last a little longer in terms of wear opposed to the lighter shades.
On average each shade wears comfortably around the 2-3 hour mark
so not the most long lasting of lip products out there but a good budget buy.
