Dusty swatched the entire range of NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils AND he did a video on how to de-stick them, for those of you who would prefer them in pot-form. Big thanks to Dusty for taking the time to swatch ’em all! 🙂 (Psst, you should subscribe to his channel if you love great tips & tricks!)

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when
a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set
expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up
being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!
It also helps keep them germ free (that’s probably the main reason I keep them this way). If I use them in the pencil it’s just another thing I have to spray with alchohol (because they’d come in direct contact with the eyes). This way I can just take the product I’m going to use out of the container with a clean palette knife and I’m good to go! 🙂

I’m wondering if any of the NYX jumbo pencils are comparable to any MAC shade sticks color wise. Cottage Cheese almost reminds me of Beigeing.

I only bought one to test out but haven’t used it yet! When all the colors are staring you in the face its so hard to resist buying more at 4 bucks a pop! Ah! 😛
Slate kind of looks like the dirty greasepaint stick, how delightful! There’s one place that sell nyx by me, I’ll have to see if they have these.

Great video! You’re so much fun! I can’t wait to keep my husband up tonight catching up on the rest of them. Btw, my 8 month old daughter has a crush on you! Ha! And speaking of my 8 month old, burning babies?! LMAO!
Haha! I think my new name should be DustinNotJustin 🙂
Andrea
lovely some of the golden colors

Thanks for sharing the video and swatches. Colors look creamy and vibrant. But the liner names are killing me. Who wants something called cottage cheese on their eyes?? Or anywhere on your body….. like hips 😉

Lol!

i love his videos…these NYX jumbo pencils are good base colors for me. I use them on a daily basis.
Thanks for the swatches, Christine! The gold/bronze family looks gorgeous.
I can’t help but giggle when I see the names though. My first thought was “Well, I’m watching my weight, so I guess I’ll stick to cottage cheese and horse radish.”

Awesome! I’d say these swatches are slightly yellow though so keep that in mind when buying online. Also slate (well the one I have) has a bluish tone. Thanks Dusty! 😀

I love these pencils, they are so versatile! I have 9 of them, some of those swatched though I have never seen before *jealous.* I use Urban Decay Grind House to sharpen mine and it works perfectly to get a precise point. They do crease but if you use a primer they last all day 😀
I want Iced Mocha, French Fries, and Yogurt. Haha, sounds like I’m making an order at McDonalds or something. Unfortunately I can never find these in stores, so I might have to purchase online.

NYX jumbo pencils have an amazing color pay off but they crease on me like crazy – despite of the base i put under the creasing doesn’t stop

OMG,thanks for the swatches,I didn’t knew,that these pencils had such great colors,I think I have to do some surch work on ebay:D
why do people depot these? Someone please explain to me…
I just think they are already in a convenient form.
people depot them so they don’t have to sharpen them since sharpening wastes some of the product.
plus a lot of sharpeners won’t work on them.

I have mine in the stackable jars too… Love it!
Where can one find these stackable jars? I see them online but are there places that sell them that I can pick up in person?
michaels or another craft store should have them…
i LOVE dusty!!! he’s awesome 🙂 i’m already a subbie 🙂
these are beautiful, but they crease so much. mineral oil is a prime ingredient.
