Weird to see glowing reviews on here.. I received this product in a luxe-box and I love liquid liner so I was eager to try it out. I'm also a veteran liquid liner user and wear it almost everyday - this stuff SUCKED. The product was goopy and thick and applied well in short (<1 cm) lines on the back of your hand but when you try to apply it to your eyelid it starts drying ON THE BRUSH. It is somehow dry and dense but simultaneously offers horrible coverage with patchy spots. The brush was too pliable and while it let you make a fine enough line.. it was hard to build.

Basically, I've never really heard of NYX before but based on this product it seems like a horribly cheap and awful drugstore line...something they would sell in a dollar store. Would not buy again. Ever.

I love this liner! It makes it really easy to get a precise line and is very dark.
I am not great at eyeliner but this makes it so simple even mine turn out okay!

I've been wanting the black version of this since I already have it in purple and blue (which I love). I can't say this product works as well as the others. First, it's goopy. I couldn't find one that wasn't. Second, it takes a while to dry (I knew that) but with the goo I was more prone to make the mistake of opening my eye too wide before it dries, thus getting it on eyeshadow or having bits of my eyelids stick together. It's a pain in the butt to use.

The few good things about this product was it's price and the color is like patent leather black.

LOVE this liquid liner! This is my go-to black liner when I go bold, it beats the other liquid liners and most of the eyeliner pens I've tried. For the price and color payoff, it can't be beat! As for the waterproof power, it's not perfect, but it's better than all the other non-waterproof and some waterproof liners I've liked.

Now, the brush annoys me. It's SO long that it's difficult to handle. That said, I can still make a thin line, but it takes longer than if I had a manageable brush.

Whoa, three glowing reviews. I must have gotten a bad batch, because my Extreme Black EXTREMEly SUCKS monkey butt. I thought it was the fault of application at first, that maybe it wasn't applying evenly because the applicator had too much 'give' to it, but no, the problem lies in the product itself. It's goopy, thick, and so little of the liquid grabs onto the tip, that you have to keep dipping it back in multiple times to get more product to even get ONE eye finished. Draw tiny line, dip, draw tiny line, dip again. It's quite annoying, because I don't want to have to spend 10 minutes doing something that should only take 1 or 2.
I actually recommend the Wet n Wild liquid liner over this one ANY day. Heck, I'll go as far to say even ELF is better! With this NYX one, sure it's a nice, true jet black, it's pigmented, it swatches nice on the back of your hand, but it falls wayyyy short on performance. I like the applicator because it's ideal for a thin, precise line, and I appreciate having the option. It's not a felt-tip applicator, which I also like. I'm not going to bash the entire NYX line of liquid liners, because I have a couple others that are at least 10x better than this one. My advice is to skip this one, ladies.
I'll buy again to try in other colors, because I DO enjoy the performance, quality, and longevity of the others I have. But this one is probably going in the trash.

I like the packaging and the product. I dislike the applicator, but that can be fixed easily by using one of my other brushes which thankfully fits inside the tube. I like that this is a real black - It makes my other "black liners" look watered down. This also dries well and sets beautifully.

Best. Eyeliner. Ever. The brush is amazing, and the eyeliner can be applied very easily with precision and sharp lines. GOSH sells black eyeliner just like this, same consistency, colour, and brush, but NYX is FAR cheaper! I put on a primer underneath, which I probably didn't need, but it never budged AT ALL. I really like how the colour is actually black black, and not a lighter shade of it. The only downside is that the tube is very small, so I will need to buy soon again, because this will be used up very quickly!!

NXY has a winner with this gem! The studio liquid liners are the best liners are far as price, precision, and stying power go. even better than Urban Decay's liquid liners that i was so in love with. never again will i buy any other liquid liner! These don't come off until you want them to, they do not smudge at all! this is the only liner where my cat eye lasts me until bedtime, which quite frankly is usually 2 in the am. i put this on at 8:30 and take a nap during the day. these are winners! When you wash these off they kind of roll away, these don't flake off during the day or smudge and its probably because of their more elastic quality. they are gorgeous and perfect. the black is so inky and jet black! and the brush!!!!!! did i mention the brush is actual bristles! its so thin and so perfect...it rocks my world. Did i mention you get one of these free if you reach the level 1 rewards at ulta??? these are amazing all around.
