At first I really wasn't sure why I got this since this pencil was way too light to use as an eyeliner for the upper lid. It is a perfect nude shimmery beige - not too yellow or brown. After neglecting it for some time, I am now coming back to it and actually find it a rare find since this colour is so hard to come by. It is great to be used on the inner corners of the eyes to open them up. I have also been using it on my lower lids when I wear brown eyeshadow. It matches it beautifully. I am sure it can also be used as a highlighter for medium and dark skin. I have even used it in the waterline of my lower lids for a brightening effect and it really works great. It is super creamy and easy to work with. The only downside is that it doesn't really last long but since I didn't pay a fortune I am not disappointed. This pencil was a great find and turned out to be very useful.
