Just don't

I hated this eyeliner. Feeling optimistic, I purchased it in black bean and a few other colors. It was so messy and smudgy (not smokey, smudgy) and impossible to work with. It's sitting in a back drawer and writing this review reminded me to throw them all away. Just try something else.

Great Layering Product!

I have this in "Milk", a stark white color, and "Black Bean", a solid black. If i'm using lighter eye shadows, I use the white one as a base because it really brings out the color better. If I'm doing a smokey eye, I go for the black one to intensify the look. I do highly recommend using an eye primer before applying this because it does smudge, especially if you live in a place with warmer climat...read moree or humidity. I tried the black one to smoke out my eyeliner, and it didn’t work out. It smudged past my eyes. It’s basically an alternative to Maybelline’s Color Tattoo shadow pots, except this is not waterproof, is much cheaper, and comes in a greater color variety. The color quality is great, and the formula is really smooth and easy to blend. Only thing I dislike is the packaging, particularly the cap. The delicate plastic cap cracked easily, so I would not recommend tossing the pencil freely in your purse as is; instead, find a pouch or case to store the pencils in and then you’ll be good to go.

Kinda Disappointing

I am a fan of any makeup I can swipe on in the car before heading to work because, well, I'm lazy and would rather sleep in. I thought this would be a good product to include in my stash of quick beauty fixes, but I think not. They glide on like a dream and come in great colors, but when I used the brown-black one as a liner, not only did it fade, it slid down my mug. It only stays put after you p...read moreut eyeshadow on top of it to seal it but that kinda defeats the purpose of a quickie beauty fix. I'll use it when I have more time than, say, one minute or two to do my makeup. If it isn't long wearing, then I seriously doubt its waterproof claims.

MILK

These. Are. Amazing. I use Milk as a base for my eyeshadow almost daily, and it NEVER creases, even though I have oily skin. The only one I don't like is Cottage Cheese, which I bought when Ulta was out of Milk. It looked chalky and tacky. But EVERY OTHER COLOR was absolutely gorgeous. I reccomend these 100%

Good Overall

This product stays great on the waterline and acts as a good sticky base for eyeshadow and glitter. It isn't the longest lasting primer ever but it works great when you apply it heavily to create a creased grunge look. I like highlighting my brow bone with milk or cottage cheese. It works very nicely to intensify an inner corner highlight too. It's great to put just a sheer wash across the lid whe...read moren you're going to the beach because cream stays better in water. These need a special sharpener which is a bit annoying but they wouldn't be 'jumbo' if they didn't. They are affordable so you can get them in several different shades. One great use it to layer it under a sheer eyeshadow of the same color to make the most of it. Works especially well for yellows which are often sheer when they are matte. Give these a try!

Great eye primers and liners, all-in-one

I cannot like without the Jumbo pencil in Milk. It is by far, the best eye primer I've ever used, and most certainly will continue using it for as long as they produce it. It holds whatever eyeshadow (good or meh) you put on your lid for 16+ hours straight. They are great eyeliners too. I like using the colour ones on my upper lashline and then throw some eyeshadow on top to reinforce the colour. ...read moreWork decently on the waterline, but if you have watery eyes like I do, you might need to reaply it along the day.

Great product

I have hooded, slightly down-turned eyes and sometimes I wonder why I bother with eyeshadow outside of a neutral. Enter these pencils. Great colour selection, nice chubby stick - I keep my shadow clean and get my colour from a line of one of these. The French Fries works magic with my green eyes. I had a little struggle with the purple at first, but after a couple of uses, it is a smooth to app...read morely as my others (I have a copper, purple, blue sapphire, gray, & evergreen). They are easy to sharpen, they go on smoothly, and they last a decent amount of time. Plus, they are priced nicely. They colour my waterline very smoothly as well. Definitely a buy

Creamy as can be

I have this eye pencil in Milk and Cottage Cheese. Milk is a true white while Cottage cheese is a pretty shimmery nude. These are so so creamy a glide on perfectly to the waterline. This is the only white eye pencil I will use and it's a ride or die in my freelancing kit.

'Milk' Is A Useful Tool

The white pencil can practically be used on every part of the face. Super creamy formula, but has the tendency to smudge when used on my eyes.

Love!

I recently bought my first one of these raved-about Jumbo Eye Pencils, the ever popular Milk. It is so creamy, blendable, smooth, long-lasting, and it makes all the super bright eyeshadows I love to wear standout and last. I plan on buying every single other color available. The only reason I do not give it a 10 is because of the love/hate relationship I have with the packaging. I love that it's a...read more pencil because it is super easy to apply. But, the pencil wears down quickly, and you cannot twist up more product. And, I do not have a sharpener that is big enough or strong enough to sharpen it. Since I do love the product so much, I am willing to depot it, but it is just a little thing that bothered me enough to give it a 9 instead of a 10. Other than that I love everything about them!
