Something I've been needing for a little while is a nude eyeliner. I have a brow highlighter from
Prestige Cosmetics that I was using every now & then but still wanted to try something else. I also wanted to try Rimmel's Scandal'eyes Waterproof eyeliner in Nude but it is always sold out on
Priceline online and I am not able to get it in any stores near me. So when I saw the Nyx Wonder Pencil on Cherry Culture it sounded like an interesting 3-in-1 product to test out.
Product: The Nyx Wonder pencil claims to be a concealer, eye brightener & reverse lip liner all in one. You can get it in the colour Light, Medium & Deep but I choose light so I could use it essentially as a brightener in the waterline but it would only highlight my blemishes so I wouldn't use as a concealer.
I also like to use it under the eyebrow & in the inner corner and blend out as a base for my highlighter colours, and I've tried it as a lip liner, but you don't want to go outside the edges or it will make your lips look smaller.
Pigmentation: It is pigmented on the skin, but but I do need to go over the waterline a couple of times for it to show up properly. It is creamy & easy to blend out on the skin.
Longevity: In the waterline I will probably only get a couple of hours wear out of it as my eyes are usually pretty teary anyway so nothing lasts really long there, but this is something you can chuck in your makeup bag to reaply throughout the day if you wish and if you get the right colour it would be good to touch up any blemishes that may be showing but I'm not sure how long it lasts because I haven't tried it like that.
Price: $4.50 on
Cherry Culture but prices may vary depending on where it's purchased from.
Overall I'd recommend this pencil for something you can chuck in your makeup bag and get 3 uses out of if you wish to use it for those purposes, and for a nice nude eyeliner colour that will make your eyes appear more awake & fresher! But I'd only rate it a 7/10 because it does take a bit to appear in my waterline.
Have you tried this eyeliner before?

This sounds like a great alternative to the Rimmel eye pencil and there's so many different ways you can use it!
ReplyDeleteI still want to try the Rimmel one, I think it looks a lot more pigmented on the waterline! But I like the versatility of this, too. x
DeleteI love the chi chi nude eye liner the best! This looks nice too though :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try it, I have a white one from them and it doesn't show up that well, though. x
DeleteI have this product and absolutely love it! Really helps brighten up the eyes but totally agree that it does take a fair bit for it to show up unfortunately. Also there's a giveaway on my blog at the moment that I'm running with Clearasil and the prize is a $500 experience of your choice! I really hope you enter, not many people have so you have an awesome chance of winning :) http://goo.gl/QLYTg
ReplyDeleteI'mglad you have the same opinions as me! Thanks for the heads up x
DeleteIt's a bummer this pencil doesn't work for what it claims

It still works, the colour is just a bit too light for blemishes for me, though! I hope this didn't sound too off-putting. x
DeleteIf this lasted longer on the waterline, it would be an HG product but so far I still like it.
ReplyDeleteYeah that's it, it still is a good product. x
DeleteNothing much stays on my waterline either - I never bother. This sounds like a versatile product which as you say, you can chuck in your handbag for a multitude of purposes :)
ReplyDeleteHaha I never reapply anything in the waterline because I'm too lazy, but if I had it in my handbag I probably would! x
DeleteI've not tried this pencil, but I do love all of the NYX products I've tried so far! xx

They do have some really nice products! x
DeleteI like the versatility of this product, it reminds me of some pencil that Benefit has but I can't remember the name of! Shame that it took a few attempts to get it to show up on your waterline- but I find so many products are difficult to work with on the waterline :(
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I think waterlines aren't very eyeliner friendly with anyone, after all it is the *waterline* lol. x
DeleteI like that it's a beige colour and not a stark white! I have a pencil similar to this colour but I never thought of using it as a base for brow and tear duct highlight - so thanks for that tip!

Looks like a creamy color perfect for waterline!

I have the Rimmel one and find it doesn't last long on my waterline (but I wear contacts) I def want to try this one next!
