Such a pretty electric blue that can be used as one shade all over the lids or can be combined for a blue based smokey eye
Provides a perfect base for blue based smokey eye and prevents mess
Can also be used as a base for black eyeshades
Looks so amazing in the waterline for that perfect hint of blue peeping through your eyes
Lasts all day
Holds pigments, metallic eyeshades or any regular eyeshades like glue
Highly pigmented

What I don’t like about NYX JUMBO PENCIL IN COBALT?

I absolutely adore this product and this color so there is nothing negative that I have to say about it except for the sharpening part. Wish it was retractable! It loses one point because of this.

My thoughts on NYX JUMBO PENCIL IN COBALT

I was never really into bold shades and never played with an electric blue color before I got my hands on this one. The day I received this I played with it and created a blue based “smoked out in the corners” eye look and voila! I fell in love with this color since then. Then went to a wedding and used this in my waterline and it looked soooooooo beautiful. I have dark eyes and it made them look so beautiful and made them look greyish brown just the way I like it. Everyone thought I was wearing contracts.

A Small Tip:

Use it in the waterline to mimic greyish toned eyeballs
