   Best eyeliner ever. I don’t know why or how but this shade “bronze” is literally the only eyeliner I can wear all around my eye and feel like it’s flattering. I’ve been using it for about 3 years now. I definitely recommend this liner in Bronze.

   I’m HORRIBLE at applying eyeliner, so this was a godsend. It’s creamy, so it doesn’t snag on your eyelid when you apply it, but it dries out in a minute or so, so it actually lasts all day. If I want a darker look, I put on black or navy eyeliner and then apply this on top — it smooths over the shakiness of the dark eyeliner, and looks a whole lot more interesting (like I actually put work into it, when I really didn’t). I also wear it by itself sometimes, because it’s light and looks a bit like metallic eyeshadow if you smudge it — but still appropriate for wearing to class or going to work. I used to use Glossier’s Lidstar (liquid eye shadow), but I found this and it works so much better — it stays on for a lot longer, doesn’t fade, and actually reaches the lid line. Even though it stays on for a while (all day — 10 hours +), it comes off really easily with a wipe or miscellar water.It’s great for covering mistakes or simply as a stand-in so you don’t have to project to the world that you have no clue what you’re doing with eyeliner. I plan to buy the gold/blue too.(Note: you can find this product for a lot cheaper at any other store — Bed, Bath + Beyond/Target/CVS/Ulta.)

   Use this on my water line and so many other hi end blk pencils transfer onto my bottom lid and skin. Raccoon city! This stays put! I buy three at a clip!

   EDIT: the review below was for the deep purple eyeliner, which I love. I got the white for my lower waterline…omg…just NOOOO! NOT subtle. I just did a thin line and looked like I had taken chalk.SO….DEEP PURPLE for these old eyes, YES! The white MAY work for some, but it was the opposite of raccoon eyes for me. HORRID.________________________________________________________This has been a subtle, but makeup-changing, liner for me!As I have gotten older (am very fair, had black hair and now is salt and pepper, hazel eyes), still liked my black eyeliner, would just put on a thin line and then SMUDGE, so it didn’t look harsh. Brown just didn’t look right on me at all. Not with black eyelashes and my skin tone.THEN I read the deep purple reviews. Seemed like what I was looking for AND IT IS!I never went for purple because I didn’t want my eyeliner to really STAND OUT, the dark purple is PERFECT. Looks better than the black did, very flattering, yet doesn’t SCREAM. It’s subtle, but gives me just the little pop I was looking for. Because I wanted a very SUBTLE highlight for under brow, I use Revlon Colorstay creme eye shadow in Creme Brulee. I put it on with a finger, and just rub a little under brows and inner corner of eyes for just a little brightener.I think this would be a great color on anyone, young or old, but, if you, like me, want something a little toned down from black, but brown just DOESN’T do it for you, you MAY wish to give this a try, especially at this price!BOTTOMLINE: Goes on smoothly, can smudge it right after I put it on, yet it stays on well (I only do upper eye and a bit on the corners of bottom). Came SEALED well. And at an unbelievable price. WILL be getting more, but likely will stay with just the deep purple because it’s now my go to!

   The media could not be loaded.  I wish that I’d found this sooner. LOVED IT. Didn’t smudge when using with hooded eyes.

   I bought this eye liner for my Halloween costume and the white dots last all day. The pencil was easy to use and i even used it on my waterline because i have small eyes and that stayed on all day as well. This eye liner is a good quality and does not irritate the eyes.

   I have bought multiple white eye liners in the recent past trying to find one that stayed on my lower water line. I got this one in the other day and went ahead and tried it on while I was working in the house, just to see if it would hopefully perform better than any of the others that were total wastes of money.This applies super easily, very creamy, with bright light visible color on the water line and it STAYED. I did wipe it out of the corners near the tear ducts , due to working and sweating here in the house, but along the rest of the water line, it stayed where I put it for the entire afternoon and evening. It did fade slightly later but it has far out performed all the others I tried.A single application of this when doing ‘ proper ‘ makeup, would probably last through an entire evening function or most of a work day, depending on your work environment.It gives the eyes a very nice pop but I do highly recommend either putting this on before mascara or putting an extra coat of mascara on after applying it to the water line. It is very creamy and will stick to the base of the lashes along the water line and needs to be covered over to avoid any whit and black lash affect.This is a great product and I highly recommend it and am absolutely thrilled to have finally found one after five attempts with other brands , that not only shows up really well, but stays put !I am about to order two more, which is what reminded me to sit and write a review just now.Mrs. Yvonne Hancock

    As I’ve gotten older (I’m 35 now), I’ve noticed that the skin on my eyelids is a bit looser than it used to be and the eye pencils I used to use pull more and don’t go on as smoothly as they used to. The NYX mechanical eye pencils (but not their regular eye pencils) goes on as smooth as silk! I like that it goes on thick/wide, but if you want something precise, this isn’t it. It doesn’t smudge easily and truly stays on all day. I did have one pencil that only twisted out about 1/8 inch before the mechanism got stuck (I had to throw it out), but with the low cost and high performance, it didn’t bother me much. I’m used to using MAC and Clinique pencils ($18+), so if I have an occasional dud with this brand, it’s still totally worth it!
