NYX Professional Makeup Epic Ink Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner

My favorite liquid eyeliner got discontined so I was on the hunt for a brush tip replacement in brown. I tried this product when it first came out a few years ago and did NOT like it, but decided to try it agan since they had some lovely new brown shades. The one I tried years ago bled like crazy into every line, it was a hot mess. The lines were jagged and looked so bad. I threw it away. But I'm happy to report that it's completely different now (the packaging changed a bit so I bet they reformulated this). I like it much MUCH better. I got dark chocolate and its probably a bit too close to black (very neutral brown, no warm tones), so I will try milk chocolate next. I am trying to replace my Eyeko cocoa edit eyeliner which is sadly no longer available and the Eyeko shade is a tiny bit lighter and a bit warmer so hopefully milk chocolate will be a better match. But I will still use this as its a good product. Nyx has been really hitting it out of thr park for me recently!

Brush tip frays after a couple uses, packaging is very flawed, and the product itself runs out very quickly. If you are a big-wing-beauty and like heavier looks, you will find that this liner applies on very patchy and is not great if you have any problems with watery eyes. The packaging itself is odd.. within a month or so of me owning this, it started to be next to impossible to open it— the sliding sleeve on the outside doesn't stay glued on, and then the cap gets fused to the pen because of all the leaking from the brush. So it's a never ending game of tugging and trying to get the darn thing open, only to finally get it and then be splashed with ink that had been bubbling inside.

I really like this eyeliner, and have repurchased a couple times… except I may have to find another one to replace it since it becomes hard to apply after a few uses and dries out. So heartbroken because it actually works

Love this eyeliner however mine did leak while i was on vacation /: so i had to throw it away. seems like this is a common issue with others.

I asked for recommendations for a smudgeless brown eyeliner and they recommended Clinique first, which is usually at Ulta, as they upsell Clinique consistently. But when I said, "Do you have something on the "cheaper" side of the store, the attendant switched gears immediately and brought me to the perfect product for my needs and pocketbook. She helped me shop, drawing on the back of her hand with the eyeliner she showed me, and demonstrating it did not smudge. It had a new type of sharpie-like tip. Phenomenal! Love it! Maybe the floor attendants get commission on Clinique, but they are super cheerful about switching up and they are very knowledgeable about all the products here at my Florence, KY store. They also worked as a team, calling out suggestions to each other to help my salesperson. A customer also chimed in with helpful info. It was like a group hug on the subject of eyeliner. The cashier who rung me out then proceeded to compliment my outfit. Love this store and the people in it.
