Make Up And Hair (MUAH) - NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Black Bean Haricot Noir
This one's going to be short but ain't sweet.
Remember the story I told you in my October haul video about this deceiving eyeliner? Well, let me continue that.
So yes, I joined a dance competition last year. It's an annual thing in our company (work-life balance yaaay!) and 2015's theme was Hunger Games. We wanted to look fierce and all that so for makeup, we went for black lips and smokey eyes.
Here's a photo.
When I saw this product at NYX store in SM Department Store, I thought it would be a great eye lid base and also I was like "hey, this can double up as a black lipstick". So I immediately grabbed it.
I swatched it of course and I got instantly impressed by the color payoff.
However...
When I tried it on my eyes, it seemed okay. But right after I blended it with a synthetic brush, the color faded.
I gave it another shot but I skipped the blending part. I topped it off with a powder eyeshadow and it looked better.
In the photos below, I used a sparkly cream eye shadow.
As you can see, it's very easy to remove. The texture is nice and it gives off a beautiful black color but since it goes everywhere, it's hard to work with this eye crayon.
To blend the edges, I lightly and very carefully did circular motions using a dense brush.
It also feels a bit tacky on the lids.
Then, it only took a couple of blinks for me to get this mess.
I remember using a primer before but with same results. What more if my eyes become watery? #timetobeaPANDAthen
I don't know about you but this is the type of eye product I would avoid. It would be a real hassle to clean up the mess once you're out of the house. More so, redo your makeup.
As a normal eyeliner, again it's fine but expect the same mess.
As a lipstick, it could work but it's not long-lasting.
Even though that Black Bean is a disappointment, I'm not saying that I hate all NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils. I still want to try the other lighter colors especially Yogurt because Jenn Im uses that a lot. :)
