NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Epic Ink Liner, Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner - Black, Vegan Formula

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.

This is easily one of the best liquid liners at this price point. The fine brush tip allows for incredible precision, making it easy to create a perfect wing or a very thin line. It dries quickly to a waterproof finish and does not smudge or flake throughout the day. It is a reliable staple for any makeup kit.

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!

my favorite eyeliner, as of right now. i've bought my first one in 2021, and been buying them since! my only issue with it is, the 'bristles' of the applicator can get 'loose' to where they don't stand up & dry out, so you can't apply with those bristles anymore. you could probably just cut them, but i usually don't. out of all the eyeliners i've used, this one is my favorite. i used to sleep with this on & it would look amazing the next morning. it dries pretty quick, which is nice. the color is veryyy dark, so it's accurate to what the shade says (as for black. unsure about the other colors, if any). if you want an even amount of coverage, i recommend applying more after it's dry, so it doesn't look streaky. it glides well, and is accurate to where you apply it. it can get pretty liquid-y, but as long as you pay attention to what you're doing, all should be well! it lasts a long time until it dries out completely, so it's worth it to me 💫

I love this eyeliner. I just wish it came with a little more. I do pretty heavy black eyeliner so maybe it is just because I use it so often that it seems like it runs out all the time. The tip of the liner is very soft and it glides on very nicely. it's very easy to use and to do fine details with. I wish the cap would stop popping off randomly sometimes. that's something that has happened with multiple eyeliners though, not just this one. i think it's just something weird about the springs in them. I do love the quality of the actual eyeliner. I feel that it sticks to my eye better than a lot of the other ones that I've ever used. It does run if you sweat a lot though, but that's expected. I personally have pretty watery eyes so it can be difficult to keep applying without it kind of getting everywhere.

It’s my favorite eyeliner to use, I’ve been using this brand for 3 years and I love it so so much. It apples very easily, the black is pretty pigmented and it dries fast. I sweat a lot and a lot of the times it does not come off, I can leave it on while I’m working and it won’t smudge. There have been times where it does but I blame how oily my eyelids gets.

Goes on easy and bought another in brown. Its much easier to apply especially for behinnners that want straight lines and not to thick. Good precision. I have to say it doesn’t even hurt if you get into your eye by accident. I thought it would hurt like hell. lol. Saw the line on my eyeball and got scared but didn’t feel it thank you God. Rinse right out.

This eyeliner instantly smudged right off within 3 hours of wear. I have one eye that can get watery, and the eyeliner on that eye did not hold at all. Disappointed after seeing this recommended as a great eyeliner for such things. It also does not dry quickly and rubbed on my eyelids.

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.
