Mehhhh, I have mixed feelings about this product. I bought this to wear under taupey-silver shadows to create a dramatic, yet day friendly smokey eye. I have tried using a black liner/gel product...

Purchased this only to be used as a dark base for eye shadows. After a few attempts of trial and error I'm able to use this quickly and effectively. The tricks I use to ensure no creasing and...

Okay. This pencil is not really supposed to be used to line your eyes...it will end up smudging a lot and not stay in place. These pencils are great for using it as a base for eyeshadows. Eyeshadow...

I am a huge eyeliner fan, and don't really tend to stick to ONE brand/type of eyeliner. After running out of both my Lineur Intense and MAC eyeliner pot, I grabbed the NYX Jumbo Pencil to see if...

OMG!!! this intense matte black color stained my hand after I swatched it. I can't imagine using this on my eyelids and not be able to take the black color completely off. I even used makeup...

The only black shadows I have are drugstore and it never stays on my lids, it just all falls onto my cheeks. But when I dab about 5 dots of Black Bean on my outer corner, slightly blend it with my...

This product is comparable to mac's grease paint. I use it under the eyeshadow's that came out with mac's black style collection . Looks great. I don't think black bean is designed to be worn...

This pencil is not what I expected. There are uses for it that are great and ones that are horrible. I tried to use it as an eyeliner for a quick angled look and it is horrible. It is super greasy...

This is cr@p in a pencil. It's greasy and has no staying power. I got this for my waterline and it smudges out of my waterline then goes down between my lower lashes and ends up looking like I put...

This is mandatory for all of my smokey eye looks. It does crease on me, if worn by itself, so I always use a primer. My other complaint, is that I have to apply this with a brush, because I tried...

This, like other NYX jumbo eye pencils, is one of my HG products. Used as a smokey eye shadow base (the same way you would use Milk as an eyeshadow base), this is fantastic to create intense eye...

This is a super dark dark matte black, a little goes a long way with this, now i actually prefer nyx jumbo pencil in slate as my dark base, because this can be a little chalky, but this is probably...

The first time I tried this I made a mess. I looked lilke a 5 year old that had drew on her eyelids. However, I knew I could make this work since I have seen YTube gurus use this with ease. I...

Like many other jumbos that I have, this is one of my favourites. I found that using this and blending it out somewhat at the edges and inside, it REALLY intensifies ANY eyeshadow you apply. It...

I love using Black Bean as a base for any vibrant eyeshadows I want to experiment with. I think it's a little too intense for day time looks, but it definitely works well for night looks. I haven't...

This product does take some figuring out. I tried to apply directly from the pencil a couple of times and was so disgusted by the messiness that I vowed to take it back. However, due to laziness it...

I'm in love with dark brown and french fries currently, and black bean is just a complete failure. It's grease city galore. Applying a primer underneath will not help. It's just way to oily to be...
