Jumbo Eye Pencils - E.L.F. Vs. NYX

These two companies are both very inexpensive and have a great reputation, so let's compare a popular product. NYX's Jumbo Eye pencil is one of the most popular in its category, 

especially "Milk" which is used as an eyelid primer by most. 
I have to admit, this is pretty amazing pencil to use a a primer. The fact that it's white makes the colors you use pop that much more and last all day without creasing. The one thing I had an issue with this is before you apply your eyeshadow, sometimes it would crease which meant you had to blend it out a little bit more before applying your shadow. Ultimately this is a great eye lid primer and also is great to use on the waterline for the "wide-awake" look. I love that trick. 

Moving on to E.L.F.'s jumbo eyeshadow sticks.
Like NYX's eyeliner pencil, they are creamy, the packaging is almost identical and the quality is pretty comparable. E.L.F. doesn't have as many color options as NYX but ultimately it's about quality of the product not quantity. I did find that NYXs pencil is a lot more creamier in texture as E.L.F.s stick was creamy but not as smooth of a texture. The application was definitely smoother with NYX, but feel they both do the same job and equally as well. So in conclusion if your looking for and eyeshadow stick or jumbo eye pencil, you won't go wrong with either company. Although, you will find that E.L.F. is a couple $'s cheaper then NYX so that can determine which one you choose as well. They can both be found online and in both grocery stores or any cosmetic store. NYX is also now available in most Target stores which is nice seeing you can buy almost anything there, so why not makeup right? Well I hope I made your decision that much easier and hope you try one of these, as they can make eyeshadow application easier and look better too.
