NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Wonder Pencil, Multi-Use Micro Highlighter & Concealer Stick - Medium

I usually don’t write reviews but this highlighter pencil was exactly what I was looking for! It’s exactly my color, matte on one side and shimmery on the other. Also, really like the creamy texture and it stays on for hours. I love Nyx!

So I had a different brand of this concealer pencil that I bought years ago that is no longer around. I’ve searched for a replacement that had the same texture and color matching and hadn’t been in luck until now. I use this to shape my brows after filling them and the color matches perfectly. The texture is firm, but not dry and cakey. You can sharpen it so you always have a nice pointed tip and the highlighter side is good for those extra details. This is a pretty good sized pencil and should last me for a while.

The pencil is smaller than I'd expected, but the matte side is a great color for very subtle highlighting or spot concealing; the shimmer end gives you a subtle glow. The size is great for getting into tight places (corner of your eyes, rimming the inside of your eyes, lining lips), and this gives you the ability for very accurate, precision application - so being smaller in scale actually does work for this product. I don't find myself using this every single day, but I do find myself reaching for it a lot. Since it can be used for a variety of applications, I find it to be a versatile product that I do have use for, and would repurchase this again.

Love the color

I was so HAPPY to see NYX reintroduce a fine-point Wonder Pencil! I could finally stop getting into bidding wars on eBay and paying $35+ dollars for the last remaining light Wonder Pencils. But no... I don't want NYX to discontinue this, but *please* *please* take heed and make some changes.Pros: 1. the shade of the matte Light is still decent, 2. it easily sharpens to a fine pointCons: 1. Hardly deposits any pigment--old one was so creamy and pigment rich! With this one, I have to press really hard, over and over, to get anything to even deposit on my face. (I guess that's what some here and on NYX site mean by "waxy.") Even then, it's so faint--very, very light coverage. The old WP's pigment-richness and creaminess made it so quick and easy to use. "Quick" is important! This one takes forever to get about 1/4 of the coverage. (The bit that finally deposits looks fine, but it's never enough in many places). 2. Half is "shimmer." Why? I use matte concealer/contour pencil almost every day; I use shimmer maybe three-four times a year. So that half is mostly throw-awayNYX: Please, please improve the texture and weak pigmentation. But please please *keep* the decent Light color (matte end) (could be slightly pinker for me, but it's not bad), and the wooden, sharpen-able, fine-point pencil. I'd also lose the shimmer, but I can handle throwing half away if the other half is a go-to. Please bring back the old, go-to Wonder Pencil!!

This NYX pencil arrived totally unusable as the photo will confirm! It is cracked in half almost the entire length of the pencil. Pathetic.

This pencil is perfect for defining under and above the brow - particularly when I have a tan and don't want stark white. I use the medium peach for my tanned skin.

This product is beautiful and actually stays on, which made me fall in love! What I’ve been looking for was longevity and colors that I can contour and line my lips. Will buy all the colors for long days out!
