Brand new bottle completely dried out. This keeps happening and no amount of shaking is going to re-liquify and un clump the dried bits. I shouldn’t have to add water in a brand new bottle to “revive” it.

Thought the last one was just a one off, so I returned it to purchase another totally unusable eyeliner. Totally dry even though I shook it for what seemed like forever. Very disappointed. If I could do 0 stars I would because this sucks.

I bought this a couple of days ago and just opened it now, and the brush was completely dry with 0 product on it (very light brown/yellow bristles). I thought it was because I didn't shake it, so I shook it vigorously several times as it says to do on the box, but the brush came out exactly the same with 0 product on it and dry. I even left it upside down and warmed it in my hands for several minutes and this did not help. Reddit users have also complained about this exact same thing, which sadly I only saw after buying the product. Avoid.

The NYX Vivid Matte Liquid Liner in black comes in sleek, travel-friendly packaging with a precise, flexible brush tip that makes application smooth and controlled. It dries fairly quickly to a bold matte finish—just give it a few seconds to set to avoid smudging. Great pigmentation, but be sure to let it fully dry before blinking to lock in that flawless line.
Super dry

I have been using the product for years. Was so excited when it was brought back. But recently all the ones I’ve bought have been completely dried out and unusable. I have bought 5 eyeliners from 3 different store over the past 4month and all have been unusable. This is absolute ridiculous. There is zero quality control.

It’s been 7 of the once beloved matte eyeliners and every single time they are dried out and clumpy. It seemed to be a bad batch sent to multiple stores in my area but after waiting for months and trying again, I’m still disappointed and wasting money. I waited for years for this eyeliner to come back and it was great when it first did and now it’s absolutely terrible. In general I love NYX products and I’m sad to have wasted so much time and money in hopes of literally like the most favored eyeliner ever, being back to perfect.
