NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Epic Wear Liquid Liner, Long-Lasting Waterproof Eyeliner - Black

Still the best eyeliner I've ever used. Lasts SO long, I put some on around 8am and throughout work, a hot yoga class, and a shower afterward, it's still clearly visible on my eyes. The only drawback is that it's a thick formula, and when you're putting it on, it can get on your eyelashes, making applying mascara difficult. But I use eyeliner only, no mascara, or I apply this after mascara, and it's the best.

Doesn't flake or shed like some other white eyeliners I've had before, actual formula goes on your lids very easily, dries pretty quickly, and lasts a long time!

I absolutely love the NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Epic Wear Liquid Liner! The black color is bold and intense, giving a dramatic and defined look. What I appreciate most is its long-lasting, waterproof formula—it stays put all day without smudging or fading, even in humid conditions or after long wear.The applicator is precise, making it easy to create both thin lines or more dramatic wings with great control. It’s definitely become a staple in my makeup routine, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, long-lasting eyeliner.

First things first, this is a solidly good product. The formula is SUPER long lasting and can take an absolute beating. The first day I wore this, I laughed, cried, accidentally rubbed my eyes, went out in the rain, and effectively put it through almost everything an eyeliner can go through. So, I feel equipped to say that this eyeliner is waterproof and smudge proof. Also, when I took it off 14 hours after applying, there was zero cracking, smudging, or any real show of wear.Having said that, it also refused to budge with my micellar water that removes literally all of my other makeup (including very waterproof mascara) until I rubbed quite hard. I'll be trying some other makeup remover and coconut oil to see if either of those work better. I like a long lasting eyeliner, but I don't want to take it to the grave.Okay, now, that I've addressed the good, it's time to move on to the bad and the ugly.The only reason I purchased this eyeliner is because, to my dismay, NYX discontinued their Matte Liquid Liner. This was my holy grail eyeliner. I wore it nearly every day, and never found myself disappointed. I felt a strangely real sense of loss when I learned it was discontinued, and quite frankly, it still stings. But, I figured it would be close enough. I like NYX products overall, due to their quality, price point, and lack of animal testing, and I knew I wanted a liquid liner with a pot and brush versus a more modern pen applicator. So, this seemed perfect.And again, it's good.But if you're coming from using the Matte Liquid Liner, there are some major differences.First, as some other reviewers have mentioned, the brush is noticeably thicker than the brush with the Matte Liquid Liner. This means, if you're accustomed to the thinner brush, this one can make you feel a little ham-fisted with your application, and it can make it harder to get fine details.Along with the brush itself, the formula feels thicker. There's a certain viscosity to this eyeliner that the Matte Liquid Liner lacked. This adds to the increased difficulty to get precise lines and details.Having said that, it's a decent replacement, and a solid option for the price point.

This is the longest lasting, most durable black liquid eyeliner I've found. Please never stop making this! Stays on forever, not sticky, not flakey. It does take a while to dry.

This is currently my favorite eyeliner. No joke I've cried and slept in this eyeliner in the same day and it did not come off at all. Be warned it is hard to remove

I ordered the metallic pink.What I love about it: The color is absolutely beautiful! I was wanting something bold and metallic and this definitely fit the bill. Another pro is that it is pretty waterproof and smudgeproof which is a must for me! For some people this is a con due to it being difficult to take off. For me I don't want my eyeliner to come off so this is a very important pro and something that I specifically look for in eyeliner. So that is the good. The downside, and something I've discovered about myself in this process, I prefer the thicker and sturdier applicator tips like the H20 waterproof liquid eyeliner applicator tip. Funny enough some people dislike those applicators but those are best for me. My wings comes out perfect every time when I use that product. This applicator, which is a fairly common applicator type for liquid eyeliner, I just find very difficult and messy personally. The tip is very, very fine and flimsy, and the product is pretty watery in my opinion and not very opaque. This for me means doing multiple layers all of which looks messy because I can't get a steady hand like I can with those other applicators. All in all I wanted to like this liner so badly but I don't think I will even keep it to be honest as it was such a pain for me to apply. I can usually whip these wings on my eyes in 5 minutes but this took much longer and looked slightly messy when I was finished. I'm going to try a different applicator with the same product before throwing the product away, but the product itself was pretty thin and watery too, so I think ultimately I'll have to toss and search for something else. There were a lot of good reviews for this product but it ended up not being for me. Absolutely beautiful color, it just didn't look very nice on me due to lack of steady hand and clumping due to all of the layering I had to do. I'll give it a 3/5 because I do love the waterproof and smudgeproof part and I do love the color. Purchase at your own discretion.

Best value for money. Super easy to use. Very fine tip. Dries quickly. My favorite all time eyeliner. I will purchase again.
