Shadestick vs. NYX Jumbo Pencil question

I have oily lids on which everything creases --- except with TFSI. TFSI makes my shadow stay put all day.

So I've used Shadesticks and they certainly crease, except over TFSI. I'm just wondering if any other oily lid girls on whom Shadesticks crease w/o primer but work WITH primer have tried the NYX Jumbo pencils?

I read that they crease, but then, everything would crease on me without TFSI, so I'm trying to determine if that's a factor.

I have the exact same issue. Oily lids, only use TFSI, and Shade Sticks (or rather Paint Pots in my case being that I like them better) never crease with my TFSI. I have used NYX Jumbo Pencils and they DO crease on me even with a little application after about 5+ hours. I have only used them a few times and I am still trying to find a way to make them last a bit longer because I love them. But even a thin application it creases after a few hours. But they are not a total waste. Just as long as you are not going out for 5+ hours they should be fine. I still use the light ones for a highlight and that dark ones for liner sometimes.

Without some sort of base, both crease on me. I need to use something like UDPP, TFSI, MAC Paints or MUFE Aqua Colors to keep the creasing at bay, and then I can use whatever else over top.

I found that the Jumbo Pencils are much faster to crease of the two, especially the pearl/frost finish ones. Even just a tiny amount doesn't seem to dry down at all on my lids. However, the newer MAC Greasepaint Sticks don't crease on me without a base.

Thanks, guys. I think I will try to find a Sharkskin shadestick or a greasepaint stick. I used to use my Coastal Scents liner but it's getting a bit too dry and I don't really have a brush that's good for that purpose.
