Review on NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Wonder Pencil, Multi-Use Micro Highlighter & Concealer Stick - Medium by Tracy Grant

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not the Old Wonder Pencil :'( Don't Discontinue it--Improve it!

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!

Pros
  • loved it . It brightens up the eyes :)
Cons
  • A waste of money, it can't be pun to without hurting myself.
