I recently have been searching to find a product to give me that soft glam look, and I came across some inspiration from instagrammer jasmine_hakobyan.
(Maybe should I say former instagrammer? I was unsuccessful in finding her profile again. Good thing I took a screenshot! Always take a screen shot when you see something inspirational!!!)
I usually use my white eyeliner by MAC (Fascinating Eye Kohl, $16) for my waterline, in order to give me that fierce wide awake look, but I noticed that nude eyeliner also looks very natural and creates a softer glow.
Here is the swatch on my skin
and now on my face

Now with this Soft Glam Eyeliner, I see many Brunch Makeup Looks in my future! And yes, I will have a mimosa with this glam!
I can't wait to start creating all these new looks for the fall season, and stay tuned next month for the next haul!
The sharpener has 2 slots, one that can sharpen the jumbo eye pencils and the other slot for regular eyeliners or lip liners. If you use your jumbo eye pencils as a base coat and notice the tip is getting dull and that it's time to sharpen it, BEWARE...you may actually make it worse. Here's a nifty trick to make sure your jumbo pencils stay sharp.
This is a lovely 1:46 video by Youtuber Kendall Rae, showing the best way to sharpen these jumbo bad boys.
And here's the reason to get these NYX jumbo eye pencils pronto...
THE RICH HUES
Let's start by looking at the bottom half of the swatches. First, you see a normal eyeshadow swatch with no black base. Above that, the next swatch is the rich black base by itself, and then above that, you can see the gorgeous royal purple hue it creates when combined together.
Now for the top half, you first see the copper-ish eyeshadow swatch with no white base. Above that, we have the white base, and then at the very top, we have the eyeshadow and white base combined to make this amazing metallic rust color.
Now, if you're like me, you will wonder, with the same eyeshadow color, what color will come out when you use the black base and what color will come out when you use the white base. Well, see for yourself below.
Left: The Same Shadow with the Black Base
Right: The Same Shadow with the White Base
If you don't have these 2 jumbo eyeliner pencils, I recommend you buy them A.S.A.P. and start having fun swatching your eyeshadow with them!
