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.
Product Summary
Round Up - A soft and comfortable to wear lip stick that is easy to apply.
Best For - It's multi tasking abilities (lipstick and lip liner)

Ive been thinking about trying some of these, this shade is lovely, but I dont think it would really suit me :( I'll probably wait for the revlon lip butters to come out here, can't wait!

You are in for a treat :) NYX is a great brand I love the blushes :)

Thank you so much :)
DeleteDo you think I could use them also on the eyes? Because I got a shade, but I don't like it on my lips anymore, but I think it would look nice as an eyeshadow (base). I know there are eye pencils, but I don't know if they're a different formula then the ones for lips...
ReplyDeleteHello :) I wouldn't imagine it would work as these are slightly sticky and waxy in comparison to the eye version. I think this would crease on the eye lid and be uncomfortable to wear but another option is to use them as cream blushes? :)
DeleteI've still yet to try these. I'm not sure this shade work work for me but it looks so creamy~
ReplyDeleteThe shade is a bit meh on my skin tone but the formula is amazingggg :)
DeleteI really want one of these! It looks so nice on you xx
ReplyDeletethank you so much Louise :)
DeleteThat looks sooo nice, I'll have to have another look at the NYX website :) x
ReplyDeletethank you lovely :) I can't go on the site through fear of over spending haha :)
DeleteI love that colour on you, I'm sure it would wash me out as I'm quiet pale. I'm really interested in these lip pencils, especially after your previous posts on them. Do they have a very wide colour range?
ReplyDeleteLove,
Belle.x
Thank you lovely :) I don't really like the shade on me haha!
DeleteYes they have a wide range both of lip and the eye version :)
It's good against your skin tone, your lip swatches are fantastic by the way.
Delete- something I really struggle with. I'm definitely going to look into these I'm after any shade other than pink, too many pinks!
I will let you know when I get one and fill you in on how it is,
Thanks for the reply :)
Love,
