Epic Wear Liner Stick, Long-Lasting Eyeliner Pencil - Emerald Cut

Such a pretty color at last all day doesn’t smudge it as easy to put on and is very good quality

OMG I’m in my 60s and my eyelid skin is a little more fragile than it used to be, it’s crepey but this stuff is amazing. Color is gorgeous and fun too. I am so happy to have found this product. It goes on just like you need and want it to.

Easy to apply with long wear time. It does seem waterproof because I have used this on my waterline without it smudging all day. Love the look!

I docked a star simply bc it's a traditional pencil-style eyeliner that you have to sharpen with a separate sharpener. (Who wants to carry more cosmetic items around than necessary? There are also some other issues, but it was mainly this.) There are a couple minor annoyances, but nothing that most other basic pencil liners don't also have. I really like this product. I've bought it in several different colors, several times, over several yrs. I'll continue to buy as needed unless I happen to find something miraculously better, which I doubt bc it's just a basic pencil liner. Or if the price should suddenly sky-rocket & not make this worth the cost anymore. I would recommend this liner to others. Just know, I don't typically use it like the average person would normally use a pencil-style eyeliner. PROS: • Waterproof/resistant. • Pretty smudge resistant once it fully sets. However, it smudges & blends well with other liner colors or some other cosmetics when first applied. (It *can* smudge after it has set. But it takes quite a bit of effort. Lol. I forgot I was wearing the brown liner once & rubbed my eyes very aggressively. I was a mess. But the staying power was still strong! So I had to search for makeup remover & a decent cleanser to undo the mess I made of myseld. Still a pro, IMO. This thing will stick to your skin a long time. Set & forget! 🙄 Just don't forget NOT to rub your eyes like your trying to massage your eyeballs into your skull like I did.) • Basic colors & fun colors. Again, the ability to blend is great bc it allows you to create slightly different colors or a gradient look. • The cap stays on tight so the liner tip doesn't dry out or harden. • The liner tip doesn't break/crumble when sharpened like some cheap liners do. • Richly pigmented. • Applies smoothly. Firm enough that the tip doesn't easily mash down & need constant resharpening just to finish 1 eye. But smooth enough not to feel like your skin is being painfully stretched or grated against. • Easy to apply to your lower water line with 1-2 smooth swipes & lasts a long time there. • Can be made into a long lasting, water resistant, convenient cream eyeshadow. (I'll explain this below. But you can honestly just glide a line of this over a nice silky primer that u dab on your eyelid. Then quickly blend it all on your eyelid/eyelid area to make it into an eyeshadow. Basically same concept as the creamy shadow I ended up making.) CONS: • The outside looks plastic. So, at first, I mistakenly thought it was a mechanical pencil-style liner. (I wanted a mechanical pencil style at the time.) • There's no built in sharpener at the bottom - even though it looks like there's one. But I guess those are for the mechanical pencil styles anyway. • It's difficult to sharpen it to a really fine point, then maintain that very fine point while lining both top eyelids. I like thinner lines on my top lids, so I don't bother using this particular liner for that purpose. (I do use it on my water lines & to smudge some subtle color around my lower lash line area, tho. I just use a liquid liner on my top lid. The liquid liner won't last on my waterline & looks too bold along my lower lashes. So, this is a perfect combo for me.) • If the tip gets very dull & worn down, the pencil edges have a tendency to scratch your skin a lot harder than most pencil liners. The barrel doesn't seem to be made mostly of wood (or even wood at all?). It's like a wood composite with a small amount of rubber wood or soft plastic or something mostly synthetic. But if there happens to be a sharp or pointy edge on this material, be careful. (I use the white liner for highlighting my brow bone area & inner corner of my eyes. So, I don't need the tip fine pointed for this purpose. It's actually better to have the tip rounded & dull. I just have to inspect the tip for potential sharp edges that may scratch my skin each time. Not really a biggie bc it doesn't happen too often.) That's about it. I mean, it's a traditional pencil-style eyeliner with a bunch of great qualities for those who like experimenting with makeup - especially liners in non-traditional colors. MY EYESHADOW HACK (which is also why I really like these liners a lot): I like wearing makeup. But I don't like any smudges, looking like a clown bc I encountered a teeny but of moisture, having to do touch ups thru out the day, or even having to spend a lot of time initially applying the makeup. I work in an outdoor, unpredictable, often rough environment. I am frequently exposed to the outdoor elements - rain, snow, wind, pollen, dirt, water, etc. I work out regularly & some of my hobbies aren't exactly makeup friendly. I can't even carry a makeup bag with me most of the times while on the job. And I work crazy long hrs. So whatever makeup I want to bring along needs to be able to fit in 1 of my pockets or something. It has to be in a strong container & take up the tiniest footprint. (I need the majority of my pockets for more important & larger things.) You'd think a pencil/pen style liner should be pretty minimal, right? Wrong. Let's just say, if they shift in my pocket wrong, they tend to break or the cap pops off as I'm bending, crawling, climbing, or whatever. It gets messy. Well, I created a tiny pot of a long lasting, water resistant eyeshadow using these NYX liners. I was using the E.L.F. primer trio samples that came in these very tiny jars to pair with these liners to use as eyeshadow colors. As 1 pot started to run out, I got an idea. I gathered several of my NYX liners, which had been sharpened down rather short. I managed to separate the creamy pigmented liner from the barrels. I smashed them in the tiny glass pot that still had a bit of smoothing primer in it. I used a blow dryer to melt everything to a fairly mushy consistency. Then mixed it all up in the pot. It "dried" daily quickly, but remained creamy. And the primer pot is air tight so it has kept it creamy. I combined some of the Mauve, Periwinkle, & I forget what other color. But I ended up with this soft dusty, smokey mauve colored cream shadow. I can apply it to my eyelids with my finger & it blends so easily. Once it sets, it's almost as smudge-proof & water-proof as the liner is in its original form. (It's still VERY smudge & water-resistant. The liners are strong.) I like that I can carry this tiny pot anywhere, it's easy to use, I didn't waste product, and best of all... no more need for a liner sharpener! I've got a few other colors I'm considering mixing up once I wear the pencils down enough. But yeah... 💁‍♀️ great & versatile liner. Prob not "the best" pencil-style liner out there. But def amongst the top best that I've ever used. Great selection of fun colors. And the qualities of the cosmetic product itself (nevermind the "container" or pencil style barrel) is superb.

Just had a family member pass away and I was crying all day at work and I come home and this eyeliner hasn't budged, very impressive.

I was hoping this would stay on as it was advertised to stay put for 36 hours. Unfortunately half of it wore off at the 2 hr mark. Im pretty bummed about it! The only eyeliner i found that has stayed put is a MAC branded one. I was trying to avoid spending $20+ on a liner. I may need to though as i am unable to find a cheaper liner that doesn't smudge or run.

Hard to sharpen. Tried 2x and tip fell off?

This color is GORGEOUS on my neutral olive, as well as my faux tanned skin. It is a warm plummy brown on my non tanned neutral olive skin, and more of a dark warm terracotta brown when I am faux tanned. I LOVVVVVE this eye pencil -- it is very unique and hard to find this color! It reminds me of my beloved Prestige Cosmetics waterproof pencil in Teakwood, which was sadly discontinued. For ref, I have light, sallow, olive skin,; highlighted med to dark blonde hair; and med brown eyes. My preferred makeup look is a dramatic smokey eye and pale nude lips. I am so sick and tired of ashy, muted, blah mud- brown eye shadow and eye pencils! They make me look so bland and tired. THIS warm toned dark brown makes my brown eyes POP! I use this pencil as a shadow in my crease and blend out to create a warm plummy or bronzey smokey eye. I use the blackest black eyeliner and mascara. I sometimes will use a pale aqua pencil to double line above my black liner on upper eyelid. Of course, tightline too if you have sparse lashes. This warm smokey eye look pairs beautifully with MAC Embark, MAC Swiss Chocolate, MAC Devoted to Chili, MAc Saddle, etc warm brown and rust brown type eyeshadows. I usually use a pale gold or satin pale yellow ivory e/s on browbone. I love it with a pale, peachy nude lip. 😍 A coral or peach blush and warm bronzer complete the look. Note: To my Latina and Mediterranean sisters with either WARM tanned skin or sallow neutral olive skin, listen up! PLEASE stop wearing grey brown eye brow pencil, and muted ashy taupey brown grey blah eyeshadow!! This looks great on fair, nordic caucasian skin, but those cool tones are blah against our skin tones. Embrace the warmth in your skin (or lack of it! if you are sallow light olive as I am!) and use warmer toned makeup! You will thank me. 😊 Burnt Sienna also looks sooooooo good on olive or tan skin if you have blue, green, or hazel eyes. I think this shade may look too red on fair skin tones.? YMMV. You can always tone down the warm tones with a neutral eyeshadow, but I think Burnt Sienna is best for those with olive or tan skintones. JMO. :)

Really lovely green eye pencil, went on smoothly and was just the colour I was looking for! It does smudge slightly but to be honest I’ve yet to find one that doesn’t! I would buy this eyeliner pencil again as I’m very taken with the colour and it’s good value for money!

Super tolle Farbe und hält sehr lange. Super Produkt

El color es ideal y como de aplicar

No irritation at all, great pigment, easy to use, good value, not the most waterproof ive had but lasts decent as a liner, less so in the water line.

Guter Liner Stick, der jedoch leicht zu entfernen ist. Von WASSERFEST keine Spur. Farblich sieht er am Auge eher hellblau aus
