wore off a few hours in
1 reply from NYX Cosmetics Team team - 3 days ago
Hi there! We are truly sorry to hear that our NYX Epic Ink Liner did not provide the long-lasting, smudge-free finish you were looking for. While Epic Ink is designed for extreme pigment and all-day wear, its waterproof formula can sometimes "wear off" or "migrate" if it's not applied correctly or over a base that is too oily. For the best results and to avoid smudging: Prep: Start with a high-quality eyeshadow primer like our NYX Professional Makeup Eye Shadow Primer to create a smooth, non-oily surface. Application: Shake the pen well before use and apply in a thin, even coat rather than a thick layer, and allow it to dry completely for about 30-60 seconds. Finish: Avoid rubbing your eyes, and use a high-quality, oil-based makeup remover like our NYX Professional Makeup Eye Makeup Remover to gently dissolve the formula without rubbing your lashes. Your feedback is very important to us, and we appreciate you sharing your experience with the NYX community! Thank you for your review!

Such a great brown liner!
Just bought this liner and I'm obsessed! I love micro liquid liner but it's hard to find one that offers a brown color. Love that this is offered in brown! I have green eyes and the brown makes my eye color pop! I went with milk chocolate and this will stay part of my makeup routine for a while!

Hi there! Thank you for your honest feedback regarding our Epic Ink Liner. We are truly sorry to hear that the pigment you swatched did not match the color advertised on the packaging. We aim for high-impact, true-to-shade performance with every stroke, and hearing that your liner appeared as a "dark blue" instead of the intended intense black is very concerning to our quality team. It is possible you received a product that did not meet our usual standards. We take reports of defective items very seriously and will share your experience with our quality control and production teams to ensure we are delivering the best possible results. We want you to have a premium experience with NYX Professional Makeup.

Great Eyeliner - Need a Green!
I love this eyeliner! Be careful putting it on. It is semi permanent. But it's perfect for pool, sweat, crying. Great product. Please make a forest green color.

Durable and easy to apply
Stayed on through being broken up with and an hour of crying, definitely waterproof and good quality. Been using for years! Still comes off easily with cleanser and doesn’t make my eyes burn.

My daily go to!
This eyeliner lasts me all day. Its easy to apply and has a clean point for the pointiest and crisp wing. I always use the "graham cracker" color. I constantly get compliments on makeup. Thanks NYX!

You do not need any other eyeliner.
This is my favorite eyeliner. It’s very beginner friendly. It glides on smoothly, and feels like nothing is on your eyes. It’s so easy to create wings with, as the tip is such a fine point. I like to use the “base” or long part to create the line against my lash line. Whenever someone asks for an eyeliner recommendation it’s always this one.

Incredible eyeliner
Best eyeliner i’ve ever used! Just be careful with storage, it should be kept upright (with the felt on top) otherwise it can leak.

Dried out SO FAST. Barely got to use it before it ran completely out. So disappointed.
1 reply from NYX Cosmetics Team team - 21 days ago
Hello Jessica! Thank you for sharing your feedback on our Epic Ink Liner. We are so sorry to hear that you have had this experience, as this formula is designed to deliver a long-lasting, smudge-proof, and intense black pigment. To help preserve the ink flow for as long as possible, we suggest storing the pen with the cap tightly snapped shut and the tip facing downward when not in use to ensure the felt tip remains fully saturated. Before your next application, a gentle shake can also help re-engage the internal reservoir to provide a smooth, consistent line. We truly appreciate your honest review as we strive to offer high-quality professional tools for every makeup routine.

Great formula, poor packaging.
I keep coming back to this product because I love the formula, but I also keep trying to find another eyeliner to replace this one because I hate the packaging. I just get fed up with the packaging.

Maybe too waterproof?
When they say waterproof, they MEAN IT. This stuff is nearly impossible to take off. So perfect for pool days, a good cry, etc. Not easy (or even possible??) to correct mistakes when applying. Applicator is hard to use to make smooth, even lines so the fact that is so waterproof and hard to fix errors is not ideal. But if you can put it on without mistakes, it will not budge for anything.

Hello! Thank you for your review of our Epic Ink Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner. We love that it stays put through anything, but we hear you on the removal and application! For easier cleanup, we suggest using an oil-based makeup remover. We’ve also shared your feedback regarding the applicator with our team to help us level up. Keep slaying those waterproof looks!

Super clean pencil. I've used a few and this is the cleanest application for price I've gotten.
