I had been dying to buy this product for the longest time and I finally did it! And I love it!  My only criticism is that its so small! It changes any eyeshadow or powder product into a waterproof liquid eyeliner and it damn well works! Its expensive for such a small bottle but Inglot's Duraline is even more expensive!

I don't use it every single time I put makeup on but on the days I can wear colourful eyeliner I do and its the best.  It is fast drying as well and you need to squeeze the little bottle for product to come out but be careful not to squeeze too hard.


The product stiffens the brush but it washes out easily enough with a bit of soap and water in a few minutes and doesn't stain the brush hairs.

I definitely recommend this product!

 This is my first liquid eyeliner product from Nyx Professional Cosmetics.

I love liquid eyeliner and use it almost daily.  I am currently experiencing allergies and my left eye waters profusely even with antihistamine medications. I was eager to see if the claim would stand up against my watery eye and also my hour long aerobics class and hour walk outside uphill and it did! Admirably might I add!



I kicked myself for not taking photos of a before and after, so I will next time.  Instead, here is a pic of my eye featuring the liner on my top lid.  This product applies smoothly with no dragging or skipping of product.  It applies well over shadow and without.  Incredibly easy to manipulate. 

The liner is a pen style with a brush tip.  There is no smell and has a cap.

I definitely recommend this product!

I am expanding my eyeliner collection to include coloured liquid and pencil liners.  I love this colour, Very Burgundy, it is very pigmented and smooth to apply, it smudges easily as well.  It is expensive at $35 AUD the same price as the Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow. I have worn this eyeliner in summer and in an aerobics class which was very humid as there were so  many people in the class the air-con struggled.

There is lots of colours to choose from I basically want them all. The pencil is a retractable pen.  Now this brand is supposed to be cruelty free now and has the cruelty free bunny stamped on the website but in the ingredients below at the bottom there is a statement saying that Carmine may be present as a colourant.  Carmine is a red pigment which comes from a type of beetle species called a Cochineal which is a scale insect that lives in Mexico on cactus plants and is considered not a vegan free product and cruelty free ingredient.  Carmine is frequently found in red dyed products such as lollies.

I definitely recommend this product but if you are concerned about carmine you may want to find another product due to the vague information about whether carmine is part of this product or if it is not.  The ingredients list below contain hyperlinks so you can read about any ingredient in this eyeliner.  None of the links are affiliated with myself.
