N.Y.C. New York Color Liquid Eyeliner Reviews

Close to perfect
I'm really surprised to see so many bad reviews here, but perhaps they have changed the formula recently, because this eyeliner is really nice, and I'm very hard to please when it comes to eyeliners. I've got mine in black, and the color is gorgeous- great, intense pigmentation. The texture is good- not too liquid and not too thick, it goes on evenly and smoothly. The brush is one of those thinner ones with longer flexible bristles, so if you like thick inflexible brushes, you might want to try something else. I find this brush easy to use, and I have no problem applying the liner evenly. I like that I can easily make a thin line close to my lashes. I haven't noticed it taking any longer to dry than other liquid eyeliners, so I don't know why other reviewers complained about this... I've been using the liner for about 2 months now, almost every day, in different weather and life situations, and it stayed put from the moment I put it on early in the morning to the moment I removed makeup at night. The color didn't fade, nothing flaked, nothing smudged- perfect line all day in all weather conditions despite it not being waterproof. A big plus for me is that it is easy to remove when it's time to do so. I will definitely buy this product again (hey, it's just 3$ for that beautiful black), and I highly recommend it, because they've made it right this time. — 6 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 2 people said helpful

Cheap and kind of effective
This was my first HG eye liner when I began using make up. I do not use it as much any more because it flakes by midday. Packaging is good but the brush is flimsy so you need a steady hand with this product. Great price and a really dark black though! — 2 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

amazing
this is the first beauty product i bought ever, when i was 11! it was only a dollar and let me tell you, best dollar ever spent. I have repurchased this every 6 months since i was 11. It is amazing long wearing, and dried matte and beautiful. its a little hard to get used to using because the brush is very tiny and holds a lot of product so its easy to over load your eyelid but once you get a hang of it it is amazing! pick one up! you might be repurchasing for 13 years too! — 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Decent for the money
I normally don't wear liquid eyeliner but I needed this for Halloween, and it worked pretty well. — 5 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 4 people said helpful

Wacky Application
The fluid is thin so drying time takes quite a while and if you manage not to blink or even sneeze during this time, lucky for you because this product isn't at par with any other liquid eyeliners I've tried. The brush is thin and has no resistance control so application takes a precise steady hand or you'll end up getting this everywhere and with a formula like so, you even get some product in your eye. — 5 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Nice!
This liner is cheap, and relatively long lasting. Once you hit the 8 hour mark though, it starts to flake--so beware! With the price and the performance, you really can't go wrong. It's kind of a pain sometimes when you try to go over your lines and it erases what's underneath, though. The formula is also a bit thin. — 2 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

Affordable, pigmented liner
The liner does apply without any effort at all and very smoothly, the liner is a very dark/deep black which is normally what I like in an eyeliner, so you can achieve a very dark black line without having to go over the line a few times. The formula is not too wet and not dry at all, which is perfect; the liner is smudge proof, within a few seconds the liner does dry, and when you rub on it the liner does not budge nor smear, this is very important for me because I tend to rub my eyes a lot and I certainly don’t want to look like a raccoon by the end of the day! The price is amazing for this liner, it retails for $2.99, which is really unbelievable for liquid eyeliners now days. The only con that I have for this product is the wand is a flimsy “nail polish like” wand which makes it hard for me to create even lines, normally I like felt tip pens because it makes the application so much easier for me. If you’re very experienced with applying liquid eyeliner with these types of wands then you will love this liner because it is smudge-proof, it is long lasting, and the color is a very deep dark black. For me, I am sticking with felt tip which is why I will not repurchase this liner again (I do have their felt tip liquid liner which I LOVE and will be reviewing soon). This liner can be purchased at local drugstores such as Target, Rite Aid, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, etc. — 4 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Hate it.
I dislike this liquid eyeliner by NYC. It smudges absolutely horrible, it is so wet. I don't know what to do! I am sad that I bought it. The only thing I like about it, is the brush applicator. — 3 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

if liquid is your thing...
Im usually a soft pencil liner kind of girl, liquid never goes on my face rigght without looking way too over-done. That being said, i tried this just to check it out. Cant say i was happy with it, but I dont have a lot of experience with liquids to be able to compare it to. the brush was kind of thick, and created quite a wide line over my eye, and smudged and bled quite a bit. Im sticking to my retractable pencils. — 1 year, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
