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.

OMG! I love this line! I have a bunch of them! The coverage is excellent, they stay where you put them and the colors are excellent! I like to warm mine up in the palm of my hand, that way, they apply like butter. Highly recommend

Excellent fine lash line or thicker Cleopatra lines accomplished with accuracy. Even flow from tip every time. Must be stored vertically with cap downside & shaken before use to maintain flow & get the full quantity inside. No eye irritation & long lasting as well as dries quickly upon application. Downside is contents are much less than desired. Runs out fast, so I always buy 2 at a time. If I'm in a hurry can't afford to run out. I store it with cap side down & only use once daily, but runs out fast for the price. Not convinced its waterproof, but doesn't smudge or smear & stays put, easily removed with water leaving no irritation. Good product but should have more product in it for the price.

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!

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.

LOVE this eye liner. Best one I have ever used and the brown color is so pretty on fair skin. I have gotten it in my eyes a couple times and it hasn't hurt at all. It lasts a while if you dont touch it, but if you rub your eyes or anything like that it will come off. It dries super quickly and I typically curl my lashes right after I put it on and it hasn't smudged yet. My only complaint is that the product leaks out in the cap, so when you open it you get eyeliner all over everything. This has only started happening recently, as I have had it for a couple months. Would recommend anyways.

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.
