I am taking a break before I post my not so favorite products of 2025. I usually do both posts at the same time- but I have not even really started. I actually don't think I tried much I disliked enough to make that list...but I guess we shall see tomorrow when I plan on actually doing the post.
In the meantime, I keep trying out NYX liners. It's just a good way to test out different colors without really splurging on something...better?
NYX claims:
Gem-toned pigmented mechanical eye pencil in 12 vivid matte, shimmer, and metallic shades
Made in Germany
This is an interesting color though and I thought it would be fun to play with. I was wrong. I think it's too light and not saturated enough. At least on my skin tone. The color is there but it doesn't look vivd or vibrant. It's just- blah. Especially as a top liner. It does look better on the waterline but I just don't think it's flattering on me. Not even with a green look. I think it might irritate my eyes too- I'm just now reading the instructions and it doesn't seem like they recommend it for the waterline.
You get a decent amount compared to other liners. It just lasts and lasts- but really I think that's because I'm not a big fan of the color so I barely reach for it.
It is smooth, goes on easily. Wear is OK. I'm not impressed with the wear but I haven't done a true wear test. I think the packaging is average. The actual pencil itself is pretty blunt and you aren't going to get a dainty line or much control. I always get a thick line with a not so sharp point. I don't think it's a skill problem..I think it's the liner. But since the color is so...meh... I don't like to wear it as a top liner anyway.
Overall, I am unimpressed and underwhelmed. Probably won't be seeking out this color liner again and even though I haven't had any luck with this line, I may still try another color. Just to see if the whole line sucks. Why not?
