NYX Collection Noir Liquid Black Liner Review

By Shwetha H.

Hi girls,

There’s a new NYX store in one of the malls that I frequent and for obvious reasons, it’s always too crowded in the store. However, last weekend, it was surprisingly less crowded and I ended up spending a good part of an hour there surfing through stuff, trying out eye liners, NYX lipsticks and so on. I got the NYX Collection Noir Liquid Black Liner – Semi Glossy shade along with a few more things.

My Experience with NYX Collection Noir Liquid Black Liner:

Apparently, there are almost 8 eyeliners ranging from liquid to powder to pencil and from matte to glossy in this range. I tried a few in the store and kinda liked the glossy liquid one so I ended up picking up the NYX Collection Noir Liquid Black Liner.

NYX Collection Noir Liquid Black Liner tip

As the description says on the box, the eyeliner has a very long and thin brush that gives a very precise line. The consistency of the liquid liner is perfect, it’s not too runny and not too thick. It dries really fast though. So, you have to work fast or in short strokes to not mess up drawing a line. The color is intense black and I love the jet black look.

The staying power of the liner is amazing. It stays on man! It doesn’t move an inch. Nowhere does NYX claim it to be waterproof, but it still is quite durable. As claimed, it is semi-glossy and can look fabulous for our functions. Overall, I am quite happy with the quality, price, and staying power of the eyeliner.

The only bone to pick with the liner is the brush. This may be my incompetence but I find the precision brush too difficult to use for a winged eyeliner look. It’s too flimsy towards the end and a little too long for me to handle. I end up making multiple strokes for a wing and ruining it completely. I thought it’s just my lack of ability to draw a wing and hence tried using the Real Techniques eye liner brush and then I could manage a pretty decent wing. I am no expert, so if you are a beginner like me, this brush won’t be a good choice. For pros in winged eyeliner ladies, you can definitely rock it like anything!

Another weird behavior is that when I remove the eyeliner, it comes off in flakes. I don’t know which ingredient causes this flakiness, but it’s definitely not like any other liquid liner. This is not a bad thing, it’s just a weird behavior. I would still buy the liner for its staying power and quality at the amazing price.

One general observation I have for NYX products is that they are cheaper in the US than in India. If you have some friends and relatives coming over, you might want to get NYX stuff from them than paying a lot more in India.

Pros of NYX Collection Noir Liquid Black Liner:

  • Jet black color.
  • Semi-glossy finish.
  • Stays on without budging for almost the entire day.
  • Precise brush can be amazing if you know how to use it.
  • Precise brush really allows drawing a thin line, which can be thickened as desired.
  • Best quality considering the price.
  • Dries off quickly.

Cons of NYX Collection Noir Liquid Black Liner:

  • Comes off in flakes.
  • Brush can be a hassle for non-experts.
  • Dries off quickly, giving you less time to rectify mistakes.

Would I Repurchase/Recommend NYX Collection Noir Liquid Black Liner?
For the color and the staying power, I definitely recommend buying the NYX Collection Noir Liquid Black Liner. I might try something else from the range as well.
