I hate this pencil! I did not read the other reviews, so I do not know if others are having this problem, but mine sucks. I've seen gurus use it on youtube, and it looks far darker and pigmented...

I was really hesitant about using this after reading some of the reviews about creasing, but thought what the hell give it a try as I was looking for a creamy black shadow. I really really like...

this stuff is freaking great for duo chrome eye shadows! Also it is great for black/ dark pigments and dusts (duh) and the smoky eye look. If I do the duo chrome I just apply straight from the...

Great to use as a set up for a smokey eye. Glides on smooth. Very cheap and affordable. Blendable...I haven't had any problems with creasing since I use TFSI. Total steal for its price. Must have...

I like this product. I wouldn't use it as a shadow though because its too greasy but it works great as a base to do a smoky eye.

I bought this a few weeks ago, and have only used it for my lower waterline. My eyes don't like my gel liner down there, but tolerate this just fine. It's a great glossy black. I like it for...

Great for creating a smokey eye. And it's so cheap. Only problem is that without eyeshadow over top of it, it's too creamy and it smudges and fades. But I always use e/s with it, so I don't...

I typically love NYX jumbo shadow pencils. I have Milk, Sate and Yogurt and they are fabulous. However, I prefer Slate over Black Bean hands down. Black bean is greasier and seems to be less...

If you want a smudgy look, this is for you. If not, then no. I personally like this, but I don't use it as a shadow alone because it's way too greasy and would crease. Instead, I wear it as a base,...

I hate to disagree, but I absolutely hated this shadow pencil to the point where I almost threw it away (before deciding to give it away so I wasn't wasting it). Yes, it's only $3.99 (I paid $2...

I use this as an alternative to sharkskin shadestick as a base for eyeshadows. Its easier to blend on the eye but it leaves a big mess around your eyes so you might need a brush to apply. Gives...

Ok so I have never tried this as an eyeshadow base and have no intention to. With my greasy eyelids I know that even with UDPP it would still look a hot mess. HOWEVER as a liner it is fantastic. ...

I love this! Great over UDPP, lasts all day with minimal creasing. I always use this as a base to make pigments pop and make them look like they were foiled. I don't like how greasy this is...

I decided to try out this product due to the mixed reviews. You can't really compare black bean to MAC's sharkskin coz this is a very matte black unlike sharkskin which is a dark frosted grey. This...
