MeNow eye and pencil set comes in a very simple plastic bag and includes 12 pencils 1,1 g / 0,038 oz each. It is a regular pencil, which you need to sharpen manually. I actually prefer to use them, because I can decide for myself how sharp and what shape I want for my pencils. Though some makeup lovers find regular eye and lip pencils not economical. Also, MeNow's pencils have a very tight cover, which is a great con for those who are as clumsy as me. I'm sure I will never lose any of these covers.
Each color of eye/lip pencils has its number and here is my little description for every shade:
001 - matte black;
006 - middle brown (red undertone) ;
016 - light brown (yellow undertone)
019 - fuchsia color;
022 - dark terracotta;
028 - bright red (pink undertone) ;
033 - matte white;
034 - grey silver (frost finish);
035 - navy blue;
036 - sky blue;
038 - fresh green with frosty finish;
040 - goldish olive with frosty finish.
So most of the pencils are matte, I have just a few frosty shades in the set. They are all well pigmented and I can say they are easy to work with. The only problematic pencil for me is white, I just wish it was more creamy than hard, so I can use it on the waterline. On the other hand, a hard pencil stays put for longer and doesn't smudge throughout the day. I also like that all of these pencils have a triple function.

As I understand they are suitable for eyes, lips, and eyebrows. You can use them anywhere you want. The only thing I would change in this pencil set is color selection. I would substitute a few browns with purple or baby-pink shades. I think the MeNow eye and lip pencils set are a very good budget variant for beginner makeup artists. So many pencils to play with for a very cheap price. Thank you to stay with me ladies, I wish you all have a good time. Kisses!
Lots of love,
