NYX Professional Makeup Slim Eye Pencil, Creamy longwear eyeliner, Taupe

Hmmm... how I love Nyx but this pencil is a bit "hard" and I almost have to hurt my eyelid to get it to leave color. I might try sharpening way down... to see if i can get it softer. That said... the price and the fabulous company is why i give the 3 stars.

I purchased this product in White, hoping for something that would easily glide across my waterline. I previously purchased the Nyx Slide On Pencil in Pure White, thinking that may work a little better than just a plain wood pencil, however that one broke the second I tried to sharpen it and it was a mess. So I pitched it and bought this instead, knowing this would sharpen better. And it definitely does sharpen better, however the color pay off is not nearly as good, and applying it is more difficult. I find myself having to go back over and over everything I had just done, and it never gets as white as I hope. It is not totally disappointing, however it isn't quite up to my standards either. (For something that works super well, I recommend Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk. Although it looks bulky, it applies bright color to the water line...or the rest of your eye to... beautifully.)
