Amazing eyeliner
Love, love this eyeliner. Goes on very smoothly without tugging and the pigment is strong. Go buy it if your favorite color is available.

Not happy with this product design
Tip broke and was in the top of the lid in day 2. Big waste of money. Now, the one time I did get to use it, I really liked the glide, the ease, the color.... disappointed.

Hey! Thank you for trying Epic Wear Waterproof Eyeliner Stick. We are thrilled you loved that smooth glide and beautiful color! We are sorry to hear about the tip breaking though. This pencil is actually designed to be sharpened so we recommend using a high-quality cosmetic sharpener to keep that liner on point. We have shared your feedback with our team and hope you continue to slay your eye looks with NYX!

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our Epic Wear Waterproof Eyeliner Stick. We are glad you liked its performance, but we are sorry for the frustration with sharpening. Please be assured this is a sharpenable pencil. Although the casing looks like plastic, it is a specialized soft material designed to be sharpened just like a wooden pencil. For the best results, we recommend using our NYX Professional Makeup Sharpener. A quick "Pro" tip: place the pencil in the freezer for a few minutes before sharpening to help the blade glide through even more smoothly.

No product in tube
As the other views say, there is barely any product. Way over price for what you get or a manufacturing error.

Smooth even pigment but doesn’t last as long as I’
This is a great affordable option. The eye liner goes on smoothly and is a nice creamy texture with buildable coverage. My only issue is I wish it lasted a bit longer. The packaging is easy and I love that you don’t have to sharpen it! Many of the colors are versatile and the white is very clean looking!

Great eyeliner, terribly small amount/tube
I want to like this product. The eyeliner itself is great, but the packaging is not. First, the plastic wrap is really annoying, on all products. This eyeliner in particular is a very little amount. There is no way to get to the rest, wherever that may be. I’ve used it a dozen times, if that, and very small amounts, and it was almost gone, then, the small amount that was left disappeared into the tube, with no way to extract it. Disappointing, because I’m would be a fantastic eyeliner if that issue was resolved.

This pencil is actually designed to be sharpened! You can use any cosmetic-grade sharpener, like our Double Pencil Sharpener, to reveal more of that fantastic liner. We've also shared your comments regarding the plastic wrap and product amount with our team as we strive to level up. We hope this helps you keep slaying your eye looks!

No shimmer
Not really a shimmer to this as it looks online.
1 reply from NYX Cosmetics Team team - 2 months ago
Hello wb4! It is disappointing to hear that the finish of the Epic Wear Liner Stick did not provide the vibrant shimmer you were expecting based on the online imagery. Our Epic Wear collection is designed for high-impact, waterproof color, and while some shades feature light-reflecting pigments, the intensity can sometimes appear more subtle depending on the lighting and the method of application. To enhance the shimmering properties of the liner, we recommend applying it in a slightly thicker line and then gently smudging the edges with a synthetic brush before the formula sets. This action can help "lift" the reflective particles to the surface, allowing them to catch the light more effectively. Because this formula is engineered to be incredibly long-wearing, it sets quickly, so we suggest working on one eye at a time to achieve this effect. We truly value your feedback, as it helps us ensure our digital representations more accurately reflect the sophisticated finishes of our products.

Waste of money. Product is hiding in the tube
Liner stick wouldn't work. The product just sat in the tube and didn't poke out of the plastic container. There was no way to get it to show the material in the tube. Complete waste of money.

To sharpen it you have to use a pencil sharpener but the tube is made out of plastic so it’s a little weird.

Hello Ellie! Thank you for sharing your experience and observation about our Epic Wear Liner Stick! We completely understand why the plastic-like casing might seem a bit unusual when it comes to sharpening. You are absolutely right that our Epic Wear Liner Stick is designed to be sharpened using a cosmetic pencil sharpener, despite its durable, plastic-like exterior. Many modern cosmetic pencils utilize this type of advanced polymer casing because it helps to protect the creamy, long-wearing formula inside, ensuring it stays fresh and performs brilliantly for extended wear. For the best sharpening experience, we recommend using a high-quality cosmetic sharpener that has a sharp blade, specifically designed for makeup pencils. A gentle, steady twist will cleanly remove the material, revealing more of the vibrant color beneath. This way, you can enjoy every bit of your Epic Wear Liner Stick!

An absolutely fine eyeliner pencil
I am not sure what problem people have with sharpening those - a normal, not even fancy, cosmetic sharpener works perfectly. I have 2 of those, the purple I really like, the black I am not super fond of, but it's most likely cause of lack of skill and puffy eyelids. It's a bit hard for me to draw nice lines, even when sharpened. Nicely pigmented, soft and the colours are really pretty.

Lasts all day
I lost the cap to this product but I love using it as a lip liner instead of an eyeliner. Because it is water proof I notice very little smudging and my lip combos last almost all day even when reapplying my lip glosses.

Comparable to any high end, longwear eyeliner.
Every bit as good as the $30 eyeliner you;d buy at Sephora. I've purchased many, many high end eyeliner from Sephora, and this is the same quality/texture/smudge-ability. This eyeliner, does, not, budge: I do not say this lightly, I have super oily eyelids. Definitely recommend this pencil, period.
