Cheap Treats: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk

Every week or so I like to share a Cheap Treat: 
something I love that is fewer than $10! Enjoy.

I know what you're thinking: Elle, what in the 'ell am I gonna do with white eyeliner? But wait! You totally need this in your makeup drawer/case/bag/sock (huh?). My Cheap Treat for this week is the Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk by NYX, and it's only $4. This little nifty pencil is so versatile! Here are just a few of the uses I've found (just be sure to blend!!):
  • run it under your nails to whiten them (does that make sense?)
  • use as a highlighter underneath your eyebrows or the inner corners of your eyes
  • use as an eye shadow base/primer
  • use as a eyeliner base
  • blend just a little in the center of your lips to make them appear bigger (no white should show)
  • draw where you want your eyebrow shape to be (like when you're plucking your eyebrows)
  • change the shade of lipstick, liner or shadow by mixing in some of the white
  • line your waterline on your bottom lashes to make eyes look more awake--MY FAVE! It works!

Do you use white liner? How?

    I've used white eyeliner to look more awake and in stage makeup (dancers use it a lot) but these are such great tips for getting a little more wear out of it!

    I remember when white eye liner was "in". To think I spent the 9th grade walking around like I had chalk on my eye lids. lol!

  24. LauraDecember 9, 2011 at 2:24 PM

    These are awesome uses! I never thought about using white eyeliner as a highlighter for brow bones and Cupid's bows. Very clever!

    But I really want to know what nail polish you're wearing! I love it.

    I have terribly dark circles under my eyes (fate of a college student) so this product may just be it. My favorite part is its price :) btw, do you know how this would respond to sensitive skin? Unfortunately I can use only a narrow range of product because of my breakout-prone skin.

    I LOVE white eyeliner. It makes you look totally awake and rejuvinated. NYX is definitely a great brand and I have this in black--- so creamy!
