Review: NYC pencil eyeliner




The picture isn't really that nice, so sorry. But if you check out their link...it's a much detailed pic: http://www.newyorkcolor.com/products/eyes/eyeliners-pencils/classic-browliner-pencils


Okay, so let's see..


What?

The NYC (new york color) classic brow/liner pencils in jet black


PRO?

Cheap (99 cents), colors are a variety, smooth pencil

It's probably one of the cheapest eyeliners out there, but for the price the smoothness is amazing. They have a couple of other colors as well (7 colors total)

Con?

It wears off easily. If you are a person that puts only a thin line, this eyeliner may not do the trick for you. It'll probably smudge here and there, and even if you didn't put it on your bottom rim, it might even sneak here and there, and make your eyes look like there a mess.

What to do: Here's a little eyeliner trick. Be sure, doesn't matter if you are using an eyeliner from NYC or MAC, be sure to always tap some eyeshadow on the eyeliner you just applied. (Think of setting powder...we don't want any of our makeup to dissapear!) This will help the eyeliner stay in place more longer, and hopefully prevent any smudginess.


Rating?

3.5 / 5

I liked the smooth and everything, but it did wear off kinda quick. This will work fine if you use a thick line, but it won't work as well as Urban Decay or MAC.


Buying it again?

Haha yes, because I'm on a budget. I buy makeup with my own money, and I have to save up for my parents' birthdays and mother's and father's day. Other than that, I'm craving these headphones, so yeah...I'm saving up for a lot of things.

So, for now. This 99 cents pencil will do.


Recommend?

Yeah...
But don't expect it to work like MAC or NARS. If you're on a budget, this is definite yes.
However, if you are going to prom or some special occasion, try to use a better more "stay put" eyeliner.


Mmkay, hope this helps you guys! Take care!
