The best eyeliner
My absolute favorite eyeliner. This holds up in the hot and humid Florida heat, and unless you have uncontrollable oily eyelids, will stay sharp all day. The pen is a brush, which I find for new pens create a nice precise line, and allows easy control with the pen-like shape. Removal is sometimes hard, but that is because I use regular hand soap rather than actual makeup remover (which does take it off easier). I will forever repurchase this eyeliner!

Worse eyeliner I’ve ever had
It was good at the beginning but then brush became a mess, I got both black and brow and black leaks all the time, it also disarms when you pull the cover.
I absolutely don’t recommend this.

Good but not great
Easy to apply, but the brush wasn’t as precise as I would like

Impossible to take off
I honestly dont know how this liner has such good reviews. The liner wasnt super easy to put on as it immediately blet out on the wing which made it thicker than I wanted. But the main, real issue is that it is impossible to take off. I tried all the makeup removers and cleansers I have and it refused to come off, including noth oil based and water based. Not sure if it needed a special remover but if it does, that needs to be made very clear if someone chose to purchase this. As you can tell from the pictures, all the scrubbing I had to do caused my skin to go raw and swollen.
NYX Professional Makeup response
Hello Lilmj108! We are so incredibly sorry to hear that you experienced bleeding during application and had such a painful, difficult time trying to remove our Epic Ink Liner. Because this waterproof formula is designed with high-impact, long-wear polymers that grip the skin tightly, bleeding can sometimes happen if too much ink flows to the brush tip at once, which can be avoided by gently wiping the brush on a tissue before applying. To safely and easily dissolve this powerful waterproof barrier without any harsh scrubbing, we highly recommend using a bi-phase (oil and water) eye makeup remover or a rich cleansing balm. Simply saturate a cotton pad with the remover, hold it gently pressed against your closed eyelid for a full thirty seconds to allow the formula to break down the liner, and then wipe it away in one smooth, gentle motion.

Glides on beautifully Dries very well
I cannot believe all the reviews that say this is waterproof. My eyes are tearing and it comes right off. I even did a spot test on my hand waited a bit I rubbed it put it under water and it came off. Am I missing something? I would love this to work
NYX Professional Makeup response
Hello Cr64! We are so sorry to hear that our Epic Ink Liner is wiping away when your eyes tear up, and that your hand test didn't hold up. This formula is designed to be highly water-resistant, but it does require completely dry, oil-free skin to properly bond and lock in place. To get the absolute best waterproof performance, we recommend applying the liner to clean lids that have been prepped with a primer or a sweep of powder, which absorbs natural oils and moisture that can otherwise dissolve the liner's barrier. Letting the ink dry completely for a full minute without blinking or touching the area is also key to helping the flexible, long-wear film set to its maximum durability.

Amazing
This is EXCELLENT eyeliner. It stays on forever and it’s really gorgeous and doesn’t smudge. I drew a little flower on my arm a week or two ago with eyeliner and I’ve showered and scrubbed like 8 times and it’s still there!!
