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

After doing some comparisons and tests. 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!

Easy to apply and stays put. I spent years intimidated by liquid eyeliners. I thought you had to be a professional makeup artist to be able to figure out how to use them and have it look good, but this eyeliner pen from NYX was a game changer. The angled tip means I can make the line as thin or thick as I choose, and once dry it stays put even during a hot day at Disneyland or a workout. It comes off easily with makeup remover or cleanser but make sure you replace every 3 months like your other eye makeup! Since it’s so reasonably priced that’s very easy to do, and Amazon subscribe and save means it just shows up every 3 months and I swap them out without having to remember.

Reordered and received something different. I ordered this eyeliner before and it was by far my favorite. I ordered it again and received something slightly different. The old one (on the right in my pictures) had like a fiber tip, and the new one (on the left) has like a felt tip, and feels more solid and doesn’t work as well. It’s still ok, but not as good as the original. Still not sure why I got a different kind when I reordered the same product.Overall it’s ok but I preferred the original one I got first than this new one.

Great Product -Doesn’t break the Bank- Buy It. I’ve recently purchased my second black NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Epic Ink Liner and even went ahead and just ordered the dark chocolate shade. This eyeliner has quickly become my go-to product, and here’s why.Firstly, the price is fantastic for the quality you get. I have a drawer full of eyeliners, many of which cost three to four times more than this one. Despite having received some high-end brands as samples and paying higher prices for popular brands, I consistently reach for this liner. Its smooth application and lasting power are impressive, especially considering its affordable price.I’ve used it daily and it has never disappointed. It goes on effortlessly and stays put throughout the day without smudging or drifting, even when I’m in the pool. It’s a relief to find an eyeliner that performs so well without breaking the bank. Additionally, knowing that it’s vegan makes it even more appealing to me.If you’re looking for a reliable, budget-friendly eyeliner that doesn’t compromise on quality, this is a top pick. My only hope is that the price remains reasonable, because I’ll definitely keep buying it as long as it stays this good! I also love the different shades they offer.

My Go-To Eyeliner—Bold, Precise, and Long-Lasting. The NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Epic Ink Liner is my absolute go-to for liquid eyeliner! The black is bold and richly pigmented, which makes it perfect for creating sharp, dramatic lines or a simple, everyday look. I love that it’s waterproof—it lasts all day without smudging, even through humidity or long hours.The precision of the brush tip allows for flawless application, making it easy to achieve both thin and thick lines with great control. Plus, the vegan formula is an added bonus! If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality eyeliner, this one is a must-have.

My go to eyeliner. This is literally the only eyeliner that works well for me. I’ve tried so many different eyeliners from Sephora and they all dry out as I’m applying, I can never finish one eye! With this one tho, the brush never dries out and it applies so smoothly to my eye. It also last all day and looks great after my 12 hour shifts! This is definitely worth the purchase.

Affordable and great. I recently tried NYX eyeliner, and I’m thoroughly impressed! The pigmentation is fantastic, providing bold color that lasts all day without smudging. The application is smooth and precise, making it easy to create both subtle and dramatic looks. I also appreciate that it’s affordable without compromising on quality. Overall, NYX eyeliner is a must-have in my makeup routine!

Better than KVD Tattoo Liner. I SWEAR by this eyeliner. I’ve tested a bunch of high end liquid liners from Sephora, Korean makeup ones and cheaper ones from drug stores but I always go back to this NYX one. I’ve been buying it for years. It applies so easily and accurately and does not smudge!! I have oily eye lids so this is especially important for me. It also lasts a long time – I love KVD Tattoo liner but feel like the product runs out so quickly. It glides easily and also dries quickly. It barely budges throughout the day for me.

Best liquid eyeliner! Totally worth it. Love this stuff!!I’ve been using the same eyeliner for years but the thickness started getting old so I switched to these to create a thinner/simpler look. Very very happy with this! Goes on fine and easy and stays on all day. I wouldn’t consider it to be waterproof – it has run when I sweat – but overall, GREAT PRODUCT!

Dries quick, pigmented. Super easy to use, dries quickly and the color is great. Can be used as an eyeliner or eyebrow pigment. Decent size for the money and last a reasonable time.
