Like the all of these other eyeliner pencils, these smudge crayons let you easily apply a base cream shadow on the whole lid (or a part of it, if you prefer) without having to use a brush. The lids also snap closed, meaning the product has less chance of drying out; and you twist the pencil to get more product, which means no product lost to sharpeners.

I use the lighter shades a bit more often, but I have found an interesting alternate use for Umber and Smoke: they both work really well for me as eyebrow pencils. Smoke is a great color for ash-blondes or for lighter golden-brown haired people, while Umber works better on straight brunettes. I'm guessing that the black pencil would work well as a multitasking item for folks who want to fill in black brows. (I haven't actually tried it, because that color would be too dark for me.) I use Smoke exclusively on my brows, but I have two Umber pencils: one just for my brows, and one for my eyelids/waterline. I may be overcautious, but I don't want to mix any bacteria that may be on my brows, anywhere near my waterline.

The shades are Antique, Black, Dazzle, Kitten, Midnight Blue, Pink Violet, Rose, Smoke, and Umber.
