Ok but stains
It was a lovely pigment and it did react to my camera flash. This product does do as it says and a little goes a long way. However it stains the skin and is hard to remove. After trying on my hand I did not want to put this on my eyes as I knew I would make my eye lids very sore trying to remove this

Dries Out Fast
I've been using this product for years - one pot can literally last for years. However, it dried out really quickly. Now I have to wet my brush before applying the product. Compared to regular eyeliner, I think this gives a more natural look and looks less caked on.

Good
This is one of my most repurchased products and I will continue to repurchase it. It simply works, it's black, stays put, easy to use and is extremely cheap. It's a total "workhorse" like the ladies on reddit like to say. The only sliiiiighhhhhtt down point would be that I would rather have a brush that is the tiniest bit thinner. But oh well.

Natural beauty will come out of you with this
I absolutely LOVE Maybelline! Never had problems with lashes after, never had sticky eyelashes or allergy reaction. Beautiful open eyes and jealous friends.

Received the Liquid Eye Lie-nér in Punk (a very pigmented black). Normally, I am a little nervous to use liquid liner, however, this does NOT skip and goes on like a dream. This will be the only eye liner I will be using from now on!

Great smudgy eyeliner!
Great product, I wear this daily. The shape of the pencil makes it easy to make a smoky wing, although after more use it is difficult to get a precise point - this makes it more suited for a smudged look, for which the brush side is useful. Easy to work with, highly recommend!

Really good product!
I really love the affordability of this item. It goes really smoothly onto the eyes and doesn’t irritate them whatsoever. I’ve used this eyeliner many times and it’s the one of the best ones that I’ve tried on the market right now. The only letdown is the amount of product you get as mine only lasted around five months which can be good in some cases but I guess I expected more because it did snap a few times while using it but it didn’t bother me because I only paid £5 for it. But yes overall I love this eyeliner and I will always buy the same one.

Amazing eyeliner
This stays in place no matter what, I have quite watery eyes and have never had this smudge on me. It always gives me the perfect cat eye liner and looks amazing either on its own or on top of eyeshadow. I am never without one of these in my makeup bag and always advise people to buy this

Technic Waterproof Eyeliner
This is honestly the best eyeliner I have ever tried, it dries so fast and does not smudge! It lasts the whole day without fading or smudging even if i accidentally rub my eye. I would 100% recommend. Application is also very smooth and easy to work with, it just glides on.

For hooded eyes, using the NYX Epic Ink Liner
For hooded eyes, using the NYX Epic Ink Liner, try this technique: 1. Relax Your Brow: Keep your eyes open and look straight ahead into the mirror. This will help you map out the wing in a way that’s visible when your eyes are open. 2. Start with the Wing: Use the tip of the liner to draw a small line extending upwards from the outer corner of your eye, following the natural angle of your lower lash line. 3. Create the "Batwing": Connect the tip of the wing to your upper lash line, forming a thin triangle. Make sure the line dips slightly above your hooded crease, avoiding the fold. 4. Fill It In: Carefully fill in the wing, keeping the liner thin along your lash line to avoid overwhelming your lid space. 5. Test with Relaxed Brows: Relax your face and make adjustments as needed to ensure the wing is visible and symmetrical. This method gives you a crisp, flattering wing that works with your hooded eye shape!

This liner is an absolute game-changer!
This liner is an absolute game-changer! At 37, I’ve finally mastered the art of winged liner, and it’s all thanks to this gem. The precision is incredible, making it so easy to create sharp, defined wings. It’s truly my holy grail! Once it’s on, it doesn’t budge—no smudging or fading throughout the day. Just be sure to have an oil-based cleanser handy, as that’s the best way to remove it. It’s the perfect essential for your makeup bag—highly recommend!

Makes my eyes pop!
I’m a huge fan of the NYX Black Epic eyeliner, so I was super excited to try other shades from the range. This eyeliner pencil is semi-permanent in a striking metallic green shade that stays put all day. I love how intensely pigmented it is and gives waterproof, smudge-proof, and fade-proof colour. They are super easy to use, and gentle on my eye-line- they don’t pull at the skin but glide effortlessly.

Great pigmentation and lasts all day
There are so many things I love about this epic ink liner. The first is that once it's on it's on when it dries. It literally lasts all day. It's waterproof and sweat proof. I tried removing it with waterproof make-up remover and it didn't fully remove it. The only thing that removes it well is an oil based waterproof make-up remover. Another plus is the shape of the applicator. It's like using a felt tip pen, the ones with a fine tip. This means you can make both thick and thin lines. It's well pigmented so you'll definitely notice it when you wear it, even against my dark skin. This epic ink liner is a great eyeliner with epic longevity.

Liked it
I really liked the look of the metallic tube and how compacted it was. When first applying the product I found it to be very runny and took a while to dry. I personally did not like the colour but have seen other colours that I would pick. The colour is really nice but just does not suit my skin colour. The product has excellent pigmentation and I love how the colour changes with the flash and turns sparkly with some glitter. I would recommend this product as it was ok it just was not my colour. I was sent this product to test for free in exchange for my honest opinion

Only eyeliner you need
This eyeliner is now my go to and the only one I will buy, it is so affordable. It is never going to break the bank however the quality is amazing. I suffer with watery eyes and yet this eyeliner does not budge at all, I have fallen asleep after a night out and found that my eyeliner is still perfect in the morning. The tip of the pen is really easy to use and thin enough to get a sharp wing but thick enough to be able to make it the size you want. The ink is perfectly blank and over all the product is very user friendly especially for individuals just getting into eyeliner.

Unique and ridiculously cool!
Spectra eye shadow is a cream-based eyeshadow that is completely unique on the market. What makes it different is that it contains retroreflective beads (tiny glass microspheres, semi-coated in aluminum) that reflect light straight back at you instead of in different directions. This means that when you shine your phone camera's flash over it, you only see it in the video or image you take and not in real life. How cool is that?! I received shade Beudantite which is great for summer or Autumn - I’d describe it as a yellowy/ olive green. It comes in a tube with a screw lid so it makes it easy to dispense the correct amount. As directed I applied this with a swipe of the finger. It doesn’t cake in the crease which I was initially worried about. The eyeshadow is really pigmented. When applying it and seeing it in daylight it is matte but when using a camera flash it is metallic making it a perfect day to night transition! I’d love to explore other shades of this eyeshadow.

Just wow
This is the Hypereasy eyeliner of Maybelline which I can’t live without. It gives me smokey eyes, winged effects, and waterproof finish. I can easily wear it all day long. This is the moment you fall in love with liner. This eyeliner is just magic on your smudge-proof look! Definitely to have it 💯

Highly pigmented and blendable
I use this NYX Jumbo eye pen as a base to make my eyeshadow stand out even more. it's highly pigmented so you don't have to use much for the colour to show. It's also very blendable to, not much blending is needed. This is very long wearing and doesn't crease or pile. It contains mineral oil and has a matte and powdery finish The only thing to be aware of is because of how thick it is, you'll need a large sharpener to sharpen it. Yes it has a plastic coating but it's fine to sharpen it with a make-up sharpener. #NovemberFaves
