Average [SEP] I was so hoping they would be the kind of pencils that go on smoothly.  Instead they are like so many others that can be bought in the local drugstore.  You want to put a color on - you need to put it on and then put it on again.  It pulls on the skin because it is so dry.  Eventually you get the color there but I have a very old one now that goes on the first time so smoothly and I hope these would be like that...
