An okay eyeliner
I got this eyeliner, and it was great at first. I took a trip and it leaked over all my stuff, and then when I'd use it, it would leak on my clothes. I have had it for less than six months and there is no ink left anymore. Also the brush got frayed and lost its point. It was nice in the first few months though.

Eyeliner leaked all over
I LOVE this eyeliner, but this time, the Dark Chocolate one I got leaked all over my clothes when I opened it. I had to throw it away. Luckily I had a back up. :(

Product leakage issues
This has been my go-to eyeliner for nearly a decade. I love the pigment and the brush tip applicator. However, in recent years, there has been a noticeable uptick in pens exploding product out of nowhere. it is a total gamble on if you will get one that explodes or not.

Bad color and consistency
I accidentally ordered this instead of wet and wild like I usually do which is almost half the price. I ordered black and this looks more like a pale gray color and its really watery.

Best drugstore eyeliner
This is one of very few drugstore eyeliners that is actually good. I get the color graham cracker which is a soft redish brown since I don’t like dark eyeliner on me. It lasts awhile and is easy to apply. I also like that it doesn’t come off on my eyelash curler when I curl my lashes, which a lot of other eyeliners do. Will continue to buy and recommend.

Bad lids, packaging...
Rating poor because of the packaging, maybe if more people review it can be brought to attention and changed as it's otherwise a great eyeliner. Unfortunately third time I've felt like I've wasted money on it as it either explodes or leaks, or like this last time the entire length of tube broke off and I was left with a stub to try and pull the lid off, and this was only after two weeks and not even daily use.

Good pigment, not great packaging.
Love this eyeliner for being very bold in color without being patchy however my biggest issue is with the packaging and quality of the tip. The tip after a little bit will being to have a couple “hairs” start to fray from the sides and the precision tip will being to get slanted and less precise. Along the edges as well around the part where the cap connects each time I purchase this eyeliner there’s a giant leakage of black ink that comes out in a fairly large drop and it makes me hesitant to purchase eat time.

NYX Professional Makeup Epic Ink Liner Black
I was a bit hesitant after reading some of the reviews but this liner works great! I wish it was a true matte black finish but I still notice a bit of a shine. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and this liner does great job!

Easy Brown Liner
I love this liner so much, I went back and bought this in two more colors! I have classic black, midnight rise and now this dark chocolate brown color. Color is vivid and so easy to glide on.

The NYX Epic Ink Glitz Liquid Liner combines a seamlessly smooth, precise brush-tip application with a wearable, light-catching shimmer that makes branching out from standard black eyeliner completely effortless.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually stick strictly to plain black liner, so stepping into the world of colored eye makeup felt a bit risky for me. However, the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Ink Glitz Liquid Liner completely won me over with its effortless, ultra-smooth application. The flexible brush tip glides across the delicate skin of the eyelid without any pulling, skipping, or snagging, making it incredibly easy to map out a crisp, controlled line. It sets quickly once applied and holds up remarkably well throughout the day without flaking off or smudging into the crease. Instead of delivering a harsh, stark pop of solid color, the formula leans into a soft, highly reflective shimmer that catches the light beautifully. This sheerer, luminous finish makes it far less intimidating than a heavy opaque liquid, serving as the perfect gentle entry point for anyone used to basic dark neutrals. The subtle glisten gives the eyes an elevated, sophisticated twinkle that enhances your look without feeling overly loud or dramatic.
From Consumer Care Center team

Super black, easy to apply, long-lasting, and perfect for creating a sharp, defined eyeliner look.
I love that I can create a sharp look. It doesn’t smudge and it stays on top of my makeup all day. I would definitely recommend setting your makeup (with spray not powder) underneath prior to applying to get the best results if you’re layering.

Very visible and lasts
I love this eyeliner. I have been using it forever. The tip is perfect and gives me no issues. It transfers so easily and lasts hours. The eyeliner is flexible and doesn't dull.

Good eyeliner
It works and does the job! I love that it’s simple and really easy to use! Easiest thing to use for winged liner and I love the way it dries down. Also super easy to remove! I just wish it was more waterproof. It does tend to rub off by the end of the day for me.

Good for the price, but leaks
This is a pretty decent fine tip liquid eyeliner for the price, and its long lasting and pigmented well, however the applicator seems to “explode”. It will leak from where the tip meets the packaging and i’ve unfortunately had it happen multiple times. It can smudge a little if you have oily eyelids, but other than that its not completely terrible and its one of my go-to’s
