What the gurus are saying

This pencil earns consistent praise for its creamy texture and blendability, making it versatile for contouring, blush, and brow work without looking muddy. Gurus love how travel-friendly and affordable it is, and appreciate the matte finish for brow definition. However, one creator found the formula recently reformulated and less creamy than before, so those who loved the original may want to test it first.

"This is one of the Nyx Wonder Sticks, they have dual ended blushes. It was my first time using it but this color was kind of perfect for it. [...] I'm using this stick to just intensify my dark circles, that's one of my favorite things about it. [...] If you're a dark circle girl like me, use them to your advantage. Build on top of that."

"I have loved this product for years—it's really creamy, it blends really easily, and it doesn't make you look dirty or muddy. It comes in like two or three different shades, and it's really convenient to travel with."

All 4 takes from HotandFlashy

Talkin' Trash! Love IT or Leave IT Skincare, Haircare, & Makeup!

"I love, love this product so much. I use it to do my contouring, so I just like scribble it on my forehead, carve out the cheekbones, do a little disguising on the jowls, here the nose. So inexpensive, so perfect, comes in a few shades. [...] I did repurchase this, and I gotta say I think they reformulated it. I don't love the new formula as much as I love the old one. It doesn't seem as creamy, it doesn't seem as easy to blend."

Faves + Fails! BEST & WORST of the Month! Sept 2022

"The NYX Wonder pencils are great and they're such little multi-use pencils that I just love them. I have them in two different colors, one lighter and one darker. The lighter one is really great for carving out your eyebrows and gives me a little brow highlight without being super shiny because this is matte. I put that on with a tiny little makeup brush and blend it in, and it really helps to define that brow shape and really lift my eyebrow. [...] There are so many different uses for it."

"You can use something like NYX Wonder pencil which is like a nude pencil that comes in a few different shades, and it just needs the tiniest bit of blending with a tiny brush."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
