Have you tried the Faces Long Wear Pencils ? Which is your favorite shade ?
What the Company claims: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil could be used for lining as well as shadows. Containing mineral oils and powders, the pencil does not dry out your eyes and applies smoothly without pulling or tugging.
A radiant eye liner that also doubles as an eye shadow. Made with a blend of mineral oil and powder, our creamy Jumbo Eye Pencils glide on effortlessly—no pulling, tugging or fading—and come in a rainbow of vivid hues. Some call her chubby. We say voluptuous.
I have got the shades Milk, Yogurt and Rust..I did not get Black Bean as I already have enough of black eye pencils and gel liners for a base..
Milk is a plain pure milky white
Yogurt is a shimmery frosty champagne color with coppery light pink sheen
Rust is a metallic purply reddish brown with a hint of gold..a true RUST..difficult to describe this color..but its a very pretty and different color..though not an everyday color..works great with Indian wear 🙂
These are like quite famous..so everyone must be knowing about these..very creamy and super pigmented..one swipe and nice color without any tugging,pulling..
I love all the colors mostly..quick and easy way for a nice splash of color on eyes when in hurry..
Pros:
1. Super creamy and glide on smoothly.
2. Nice pigmentation.
3. Work as eye shadow base to make colors pop..for few hours :p
4. Lighter colors work great as highlighters and for inner corners.
5. The shade Yogurt works as an amazing highlighter for the cheekbones and cupid’s bow,inner corners and on the center of the lid.
6. I used Milk on waterline too and it did not sting or irritate eyes.
7. Pretty amazing and nice colors to choose from.
8. Would act as a base for pigments too.
Cons:
1. As these are JUMBO..I cannot use it as a liner..and even on the waterline they tend to come out a little on the lower lashes which kinda looks weird.
2. Sharpening them is a little tricky.
3. I said used as eye shadow base for few hours coz they crease 🙁 so you cannot skip a base completely.
4. The plastic cap is flimsy.
5. I wish they were available easily in India at the same cost 🙁
Overall these are quite nice as base or for a quick wash of color on the eyes when in hurry. And the most versatile of all the colors is Yogurt..!! That according to me is a must have as it works amazingly well as a highlighter..and as Mrunmayee discovered the color is a super close to MAC Cream Color Base in Hush..so a dupe !
I would recommend Yogurt the most..followed by Milk and Black bean if you use eye shadows regularly. They work well as base for different color combos and for smokey eyes. Rust is quite a unique color and a dupe of MAC Fluidline in Rich Ground.Other colors I liked are Slate,Purple and Iced Mocha. Even Gold is pretty for Indian wear 🙂

12.They are travel friendly.
13.They come off with a normal cleanser.
Cons :
1. They smudge a lot when used on the lower lashline but then they never claimed to be smudge proof or water proof.
2. They do not last 16 hours as claimed !! But ya these last 5-6 hours normally but less on the waterline and the Blue Virtuose smudges horribly when used on lower lashline.
Overall rating : 3.5/5
Would I buy it again- Yes ..love it for my upper lashline. I find it convenient,quick and easy as I have shaky hands and take more time with liquid liners.Plus I can carry this along with me if I need to.
