NYX Professional Epic Ink Liner

My favorite eyeliner right now. This lasts such a long time! I bought this in May 2025, it’s now January 2026 and there’s still some in the eyeliner but thought it was time to get a new one , I can tell it’s running low. I wear make up and use this maybe 2-3x a week. It’s easy to put on , glides easily and you can use the fine tip to get in those little spots close to your lash line. You can make the line super thin or thick. It stays in place all day and partly the next morning when I forget to wash my face . It doesn’t rub off or smudge . It dries quick enough so I can use my eyelash curler immediately. This doesn’t irritate my eyes. The black color is a deep bold black which I like. Great price especially with how long it lasts, I would’ve gone through several eyeliner pencils at this point.

I’ve been using stila for years but for the price, it wasn’t worth it. This NYX worked great! It’s just as good and the price is WAY better. It’s maybe a little less beginner friendly because it takes a very light hand! I barely had to press. Not a big deal, but for someone who has a heavy hand or shakiness, this might be a little harder to use. The black was a nice solid dark black. No cracking or flakes. No smudging or fading issues. Lasted me all day. I’m happy I switched! It’ll be my new go-to eyeliner.

Amazing. If you need cheap eyeliner that gives a killer car eye this ones for you. This is my absolute go-to drugstore style eyeliner, no smudge and mildly waterproof (didn't fully test it) but man oh man does it work. It dries instantly and doesn't feel tacky or thick, and the coverage is great especially if you use powder over it it stays bold, the tip is so fine and sharp you can draw any design you want. My favorite eyeliner!

Application is easy. Dries fast and lasts all day. Friendly to sensitive eyes. Unfortunately this eyeliner pen dries up easily and you have to put effort into getting more out. However, easily the best eyeliner I've found even with expensive brands. Doesn't move all day! Also looks great blended with some eyeshadow

This is my favorite eyeliner I've tried. been using for a few years, the brown, and black. And it really lasts a long time before it dries out...the main thing is, it can last so long that it starts splitting before drying out, (depending on how you use it I would imagine) which makes the application a bit harder...but I'm not gonna complain about it. It has a smooth texture, and as long as the area isn't wet, it glides on very easily while covering well...I haven't experienced any eye irritation, but I don't think my eyes are horribly sensitive either.

I absolutely live with eyeliner on every single moment of the day. However, I have very oily eyelids and majority of eyeliners fail to last or stay put on my lids. So I require a very waterproof and smudgeproof formula to at least look good majority of the day before my oils decide to ruin it. My preferences for my eyeliners are a opaque black with a brush tip. As opaque and fluid felt tip eyeliners are, they are hard to control around my hooded eyes and sometimes end up becoming dried out even though I've only used the eyeliner a couple times. I've compared this NYX eyeliner against some of my favorites or some well known brands: Maybelline's Hyper Easy, MACQUEEN's Waterproof, EM Cosmetic's Illustrative, Heroine Make Smooth Liquid, Eyeko Black Magic, and KVD's Tattoo Liner. I put each of these up against 4 tests, which I've illustrated in my pictures. Maybelline's new eyeliner held up moderately well, and it's the only formula I've ever found to dry down matte and be this resistant. Of course, my favorite Asian eyeliners from MACQUEEN and Heroine Make are super waterproof and budget roof. Eyeko is also a favorite Asian brand that lasts moderately well. EM Cosmetics did not claim to be waterproof, just resistant, so I've allowed that to slide. I've never liked KVD's formula for my lids, so I'm not surprised that it didn't last. In comparison to those, NYX's formula isn't horrible and would work beautifully for most people, but it definitely can't last through my mighty eyelids. HOWEVER, I absolutely love how opaque the formula is in one swipe and how fluid and even it is. Makes it really easy to do graphic liners! It is also great for creating quick and easy wings (with a precise hand of course since it's so pigmented). I am going to continue using this with a primer or powder because I am enjoying the pigment! If you don't have crazy oily eyelids and would love a dark and even application with a brush tip eyeliner, I would highly recommend this eyeliner! And even if you do have lids like me, I'm sure one could make it work with some preparation!

I like this liner! In fact, I am going to reorder in about a week so I can take the new liner with me on a trip. The brush gives a fine line if wanted...and a heavier line if that is preferred. I've smudged a few lines but the fix was easy with a Qtip.

When this liner behaves, it’s amazing. The tip is precise, the color is bold, and you can get that sharp, clean line with very little effort. But… and this is important… it doesn’t always behave. Some days it flows perfectly, other days it feels like it’s either too much or not enough, and now you’re fixing one eye longer than you planned. Once it’s on though, it looks really good. It’s just that getting there can be a little unpredictable. Not bad, just not as consistent as you’d hope.

Ótimo produto, realmente é à prova d'água, não borrou no calor do verão em São Paulo! Demorou a chegar porque veio da Holanda, mas o prazo foi informado e chegou no último dia do prazo. Recomendo.

This is as good as the Tom Ford liquid liner!! As my eye lids became softer with age and very hard to make a smooth line of liner I always looked for the best one to use so have been using the Tom Ford liquid liner for last 4/5 years and have kept on looking for another one as the Tom Ford one is very expensive. Ultimately I found this one almost as good as the Tom Ford liner. ❤️

I love this brown eyeliner! The shade is rich and natural, perfect for everyday wear.

Super

It’s very easy to use, nice shade of brown but not long lasting. I liked that it came properly sealed.
