Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: NYX Professional Makeup Wonder Pencil Highlighter

Do you ever somehow fall out of a beauty habit? The other morning, browsing in Boots on Oxford Street before a press breakfast, Jo spotted a double-ended highlighter pencil that reminded her: one of her best-ever beauty tricks was to add a line of highlight above the lip-line. It creates a more defined contour, but also the optical illusion of fuller lips. Somehow, at some (busy) point, she’d stopped doing it.

But there was the perfect pencil, to resume the habit. With one end matte, one end shimmery, it is also good for adding a ‘lift’ just under the brow-bone.

Even better? Times have moved on, and so have beauty brands, when it comes to offering a spectrum for all skintones. So, whereas once upon a time this sort of product tended to come in a shimmering ivory, NYX Professional Makeup Wonder Pencil Highlighter comes in five colour-coordinated shades.

Very slim, so we reckon there’s definitely room in your make-up bag – and your life – for this. (Because if not, you’re missing a time-honoured trick. Even if it’s one we’d forgotten.)
