NYX Sapphire Auto Eye Pencil Review

I am a conventional person who likes to keep it simple when it comes to makeup, but that is only in office! I try to use more than just the regular colors (coordinated with my dress, of course!) and my eyes is one area that I think is a nice canvas to try out these colours. So, I venture beyond the blacks and browns for eyeliners to blues, dark greens, purple and wine pinks! And, when I hear words such as emeralds and sapphires for eyes, I feel like trying them instantly. NYX offers an eyeliner in one of these shades, and I was intrigued to try it. Let’s see how this eye liner fared for me!

Price:

INR 275 for 0.22gm. But, I see many online sites offering them at a much lower price.

Packaging:

It is like a sleek pen. It has a black metallic body (appears metallic) with a silver end and blue at the tip- indicating the colour of the eye liner. The mechanism is retractable and keeps the liner secure within it. The pen has a slight click mechanism that ensures that you cap the pen all the way. There are certain things written on the pen in white which unfortunately started wiping off in sometime!

My Experience with NYX Sapphire Auto Eye Pencil:

The retractable mechanism brings out the thin blue pencil which, unfortunately, is not very long. But then, it did say 0.22 grams and that’s all I think they could fit in there. At first, it looked dull with a whitish layer all over it and I was worried that I had received an expired product, but then the label didn’t say so. Once I cleaned it (basically ran my nail tip over the entire colour), the right blue colour came out. It was smooth to swipe easily on my hand.

One swipe gave a feeble payoff, and multiple swipes intensified the color. But, I did not get that rich dark colour that I would have preferred. I wiped off the smears on the hand and they got cleaned immediately; so much for the longevity! I decided it was time for the real test – what would it do the eyes. So, I applied it all over my eyelid and waterline. I had to go over each line at least thrice to get a satisfactory colour.

I was happy with the effect and excitedly got my camera to take the pics. By the time I started clicking, there was a blue line on my crease. Oops! That was fast. Maybe because I have oily eyelids. I had a party to go out that evening and decided to deck up and apply it all over the eyes as shown in the pics. I was back after 3 hours, and was horrified with my look! I had a real bad blue halo all round my eyes. The eyeliner was all gone and only blue traces were left. I think this product hardly lasted for even two hours! I was disappointed. Sob sob.

Conclusion:

I wish it was as wonderful as I wanted it to be. It has a nice packaging, a nice colour, with an okayish payout, but unfortunately, really poor staying power. Best of all, I found it is affordable too. But, these attributes are not of much importance if the product hardly stays on you. Sigh!

• Affordable. And, there is some good discount on it online!
• Cruelty free and lead free.
• Smooth to swipe and glides easily.
• Nice blue colour and suitable for all skin tones.
• Good packaging and easy retraction.

Cons of NYX Sapphire Auto Eye Pencil:

• Poor colour payout, requires multiple swipes.
• Smudges way too easily and completely!

• Little product compared to other brands.

IMBB Rating:

2.5/5

Would I Repurchase/Recommend NYX Sapphire Auto Eye Pencil?

I would recommend this colour to everyone. The price and packaging are also something which other brands can learn from. But, this smudging and the poor staying poor killed it for me. It couldn’t survive even for 3 hours. So, it’s a no from my side.
