NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Epic Wear Liner Stick, Long-Lasting Eyeliner Pencil - Black Metal

I absolutely love this color. I was undecided at first about getting it but when it came in and I put it on ,omg so bright and vibrant! I love that it’s long lasting and the color don’t fade out nor did it smudge. It’s easy to put on and I had many compliments.

Love the color! Bought as replacement to wet n wild and really happy. Stays on well. Get compliments.

I have been buying NYX retractable eye liners for several years and recently went on Amazon to purchase the Purple Velvet MPE11 but sadly NYX no longer makes retractable liners. So I purchased their plastic pencil that has to be sharpened. The good news is that their Epic Wear Eye Liner Stick in Fierce Purple is a good match to the Purple Velvet I was used to and the liner tip sharpened easily without breaking in my very old Cover Girl eye pencil sharpener. The other good news is that the color is easy to apply, it doesn't tug on the eyelid and it stays on for hours just like the retractable liner. While I will miss the ease of the retractable tool, I will buy these liners in the future even though they need to be sharpened because they are great eyeliners at a great price point.

This color is GORGEOUS on my neutral olive, as well as my faux tanned skin. It is a warm plummy brown on my non tanned neutral olive skin, and more of a dark warm terracotta brown when I am faux tanned. I LOVVVVVE this eye pencil -- it is very unique and hard to find this color! It reminds me of my beloved Prestige Cosmetics waterproof pencil in Teakwood, which was sadly discontinued.For ref, I have light, sallow, olive skin,; highlighted med to dark blonde hair; and med brown eyes. My preferred makeup look is a dramatic smokey eye and pale nude lips. I am so sick and tired of ashy, muted, blah mud- brown eye shadow and eye pencils! They make me look so bland and tired. THIS warm toned dark brown makes my brown eyes POP! I use this pencil as a shadow in my crease and blend out to create a warm plummy or bronzey smokey eye. I use the blackest black eyeliner and mascara. I sometimes will use a pale aqua pencil to double line above my black liner on upper eyelid. Of course, tightline too if you have sparse lashes. This warm smokey eye look pairs beautifully with MAC Embark, MAC Swiss Chocolate, MAC Devoted to Chili, MAc Saddle, etc warm brown and rust brown type eyeshadows. I usually use a pale gold or satin pale yellow ivory e/s on browbone. I love it with a pale, peachy nude lip. 😍 A coral or peach blush and warm bronzer complete the look.Note:To my Latina and Mediterranean sisters with either WARM tanned skin or sallow neutral olive skin, listen up! PLEASE stop wearing grey brown eye brow pencil, and muted ashy taupey brown grey blah eyeshadow!! This looks great on fair, nordic caucasian skin, but those cool tones are blah against our skin tones. Embrace the warmth in your skin (or lack of it! if you are sallow light olive as I am!) and use warmer toned makeup! You will thank me. 😊Burnt Sienna also looks sooooooo good on olive or tan skin if you have blue, green, or hazel eyes.I think this shade may look too red on fair skin tones.? YMMV. You can always tone down the warm tones with a neutral eyeshadow, but I think Burnt Sienna is best for those with olive or tan skintones. JMO. :)

I love Nyx eyeliner it’s definitely waterproof. I’ve used it for years. You can tight line or do regular eyeliner and it doesn’t smudge and lasts all day. I’ve bought expensive high end liners and always come back to this!

In the past year, I ordered this twice (lasts 6 months) and they were fine. This time, I clicked "reorder" but instead got something called an eyeliner stick (not eyeliner pencil) the pencil you screw up as you use it until it runs out. This "stick" one has no screw up. I can see it will last a very short time as it is wearing down already. It is also different material, heavier. I want the original eyeliner pencil that I ordered but now I'm afraid I will get the wrong one again.

I bought a bunch of NYX pencil eyeliners from this series, so I wanted to do a swatch of eye color once it arrived. I applied very very little pressure & I did it at an angle, but the tip already broke off!! It did this for Emerald & this Gold color, but it was fine for the Dusty Mauve. I guess it varies from pencil to pencil based on how it was manufactured and when? In general, the color came off nicely & it was very smooth to the touch.I’m giving it 3 stars bc it reminds me of color pencils that keep breaking off even though you painstakingly sharpen it very carefully each time, only for it to fall apart at the lightest touch. 🙃 (NOTE: I haven’t actually sharpened it yet after it broke off, this is just my initial reaction based on how easily it broke off the first time I tried to use it.) However, the product stays on the skin well…if you manage to apply it LOL. I just hope it doesn’t continuously break off each time I try to use it. I don’t want to sharpen it all off and waste the product.

Works well. Long lasting and almost never smears.
