NYX Auto Eye Pencil Charcoal Review & Swatch

I have always heard about how great NYX products are. But I never got a chance to try them. Thanks to Diva Likes, I got to try a few NYX products. When I first saw NYX Auto Eye Pencil Charcoal, I wasn't too sure if I would like it. But the minute I opened the package and swatched the shade, I knew I was going to love it. The shade is very attractive and as always I couldn't wait to give it a try. I was always into bright eyeliner shades like blue, green, purple etc. and I didn't pay too much attention to pretty shades like grey. I regret it now but I am also happy that I finally got to try this shade.

My Experience With NYX Auto Eye Pencil Charcoal:

NYX Auto Eye Pencil Charcoal comes in a black colored two way twist up pen with a cap that closes with a sound. The packaging is sturdy and travel friendly. Its a neat looking packaging but not eye catching. The shade Charcoal, to be precise, looks exactly like elephant grey color. It is not deeply pigmented and so it requires more than a few swipes to get an opaque finish. Even though it is not heavily pigmented, this is a beautiful shade perfect for the smokey eye look.

The texture of the eye pencil is smooth and easy to apply. You don't need to tug or rub to bring it to a smooth finish. It is not much smudge proof and that is why it is apt for the messy smokey eye look. It also gives the natural eyeliner look on those days when you would like to keep your eye makeup sober. All you need is just one wipe with your finger and everything you have applied disappears. The major drawback of this eye pencil is its staying power. As you can see in the above picture, it hardly stayed for 2 hours on my eyes. I really wish it worked in terms of staying power. But alas!

Pros Of NYX Auto Eye Pencil Charcoal:

• Two way twist up packaging.
• The charcoal shade is beautiful.
• Perfect to create smokey eye look.
• Smooth texture makes application easy.

Cons of NYX Auto Eye Pencil Charcoal:

• Bad staying power.
• Not widely available in India.

Diva Likes Rating:

3/5

Final Note:

I love the shade but the staying power is bad. For those who are okay with less staying power will love this product. Like I mentioned before, NYX Auto Eye Pencil Charcoal is a great eye pencil to create smokey eye look.
