Mechanical Eye Pencil, Vivid Rich Mechanical, Creamy Retractable Eyeliner - Sapphire Bling, Deep Blue Eyeliner

I picked up the NYX Mechanical Eye Pencil in Quartz Queen because I was trying to solve a very specific problem: I wanted something quick, creamy, and easy to use for soft definition without having to commit to a full eyeliner routine every time I blinked in the mirror. As someone who owns way too many makeup products for someone who still says “I have nothing to wear,” I’ve learned I gravitate toward the things that are simple, reliable, and don’t require a tutorial to use at 7 a.m. First off, I genuinely love NYX as a brand. They’re one of those lines that consistently hits that sweet spot between affordable and actually good quality, without feeling like you’re sacrificing performance. And this pencil fits right into that. The shade Quartz Queen is what sold me in the first place. It’s this perfect cool-toned nude that just works with my coloring in a way that feels natural but still put together. It’s soft, not harsh, and gives that “enhanced but not overdone” vibe. Texture-wise, it’s creamy and smooth. It glides on without tugging, which I really appreciate, especially with something retractable like this—no sharpening, no mess, just twist and go. It sets down nicely and holds up pretty well throughout the day, which makes it easy to trust once it’s on. Now, I’ll be honest… I don’t even use it the “intended” way most of the time. It started as an eyeliner, but it quietly became one of my favorite lip liners instead. On my lips, it gives that soft cool nude definition that pairs really well with gloss or a more natural lip look. And it blends out nicely without looking patchy or harsh. As an eyeliner, it does the job too—smooth application, decent staying power, and smudge resistance—but I just personally reach for it more as a lip product because it fits my routine better that way. At around $6, the value is honestly kind of ridiculous in a good way. It’s one of those inexpensive staples that ends up staying in your makeup bag way longer than you expected because it just keeps getting used. If I had one small caveat, it’s that like most creamy pencils, it’s not going to stay absolutely perfect through heavy rubbing or very long, intense wear without a little touch-up. But for everyday use, it performs really well. Overall, Quartz Queen ended up being one of those “didn’t expect much, now I use it constantly” kind of products.

The NYX Professional Makeup Vivid Rich Mechanical Eye Pencil has quickly become one of my favorite eye products, and I can see why it has such a loyal following. The color payoff is exceptional — rich, vivid, and true to what you see in the packaging — and it applies smoothly in a single swipe without tugging or pulling at the delicate eye area. The creamy formula glides on effortlessly and delivers intense pigmentation that makes a real statement, whether you're going for a bold liner look or adding depth to your eye makeup. It blends beautifully when you want a smudged or smoky effect, yet it also has enough staying power to hold its shape when you want a precise, defined line. One of the standout features is the retractable mechanical design — no sharpening needed, which eliminates product waste and keeps the tip consistently fine and ready to use. It's incredibly convenient, especially when you're doing your makeup on the go or in a hurry. The pencil feels sturdy and well-made with a smooth twist mechanism. Longevity is solid as well. Once set, it holds up well through the day without significant fading or smudging, which is particularly impressive for a drugstore-priced product. For the quality you're getting, the price point is outstanding value compared to high-end alternatives. Overall, this is a must-have eye pencil for anyone who loves bold, expressive eye looks. NYX consistently delivers professional-quality results at accessible prices, and this pencil is a perfect example of that. Highly recommend.

Great bold black eyeliner. Long lasting.

This has been my go-to eyeliner for a long time now. I’ve ordered it well over a dozen times because it works so consistently every single time. The color is dark and smooth without skipping during application. I also love how easy it is to create both thin and dramatic looks with it. It stays on well throughout the day without smudging too badly. For the price, the quality is honestly hard to beat. I’ll definitely keep repurchasing this one again and again.

I recently started using cream/off-white color eyeliner after a makeup artist recommended it to me. It makes your eyes look open wider. It took me a minute to find this eyeliner, because I do not like the ones that you have to use a sharpener. This eyeliner is retractable, which, to me, is the best type. I had tried two other brands of cream/off-white eyeliner, but the color barely showed on my waterline. This NYX eyeliner is much more pigmented and creamy, making it glide on easily. It’s awful when you get an eyeliner that you have to go over and over your waterline to see any color at all – and when the eyeliner skips it is painful. This NYX eyeliner glides across with no skipping or pressure required. I was very surprised when I checked my makeup at lunchtime; I didn’t have to touch up my eyeliner. It still looked freshly applied. Even more surprising was that it still looked the same when I got home from work in the late afternoon. You can’t beat the price either! The most important thing to me is that after researching, I found that NYX is a “cruelty-free brand” meaning they DO NOT TEST THEIR PRODUCTS ON ANY ANIMALS! I won’t knowingly wear any brand of makeup that uses animals for product testing, regardless of how “great” they may be. I’m so glad this company is pro-animal because they make great eyeliner!!

i don’t want to say it sucks completely bc it definitely lasts as u can see in the pic i drew a heart yesterday and it’s still kinda there. it sets quickly and when u rub it nothing comes off. i’m only giving it 3 stars bc it’s not comfortable on the eyes. i specifically bought this for my waterline and it irritated my eyes a bit and it faded after like 45 minutes. it also made them a little red and i was feeling dry. i use to use this gel liner but the label faded and i can’t find it so i just went for this one and im upset. waste of money IN MY OPINION, not saying it sucks but everyone has their different uses for this it didn’t work for me personally. i find it dumb how some makeup brands don’t make these type of crayon like eyeliner pencils WATERLINE SAFE/comfy as if most ppl didn’t use them IN their waterline. for winged liner almost everyone uses liquid liner so they should at least make these types suitable for ur damn waterline. at least it was cheap so i’m not too mad i definitely won’t repurchase tho bc i wouldn’t really put this to use. buy if u want or dont just know its not waterline safe, it lasts outside ur eye 100% but it also sets fast so depending on how u do ur makeup it u will know if it works well for u or not

I like this one. Goes on easily and is nice an dark. I will say it does start to smudge a bit if you have oily skin.. may even end up looking a little bit like a racoon if you're REALLY sweaty and oily but otherwise its a solid pencil liner. Love that i don't have to sharpen it.

I love this eyeliner, it is finally a true brown not a brown that looks more of a red than brown so thank you. The eyeliner goes on very smoothly. It does not seem to smudge very easily which is awesome and I had to use makeup remover to remove it so it stays on pretty well. Got an excellent rating on the Yuka app so no really bad ingredients, thank you for that as well! Will continue to buy. Wish there was a lip liner and lipstick this color. Only drawback is the mechanical twist seems to not be durable and I’m afraid it is going to break or I won’t be able to retract the eyeliner.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ich habe endlich einen veganen und tierversuchsfreien Eyeliner gefunden – das war mir sehr wichtig. Er lässt sich präzise auftragen, die Farbe ist intensiv und er ist wirklich wasserfest: selbst nach einem langen Tag kein Verschmieren. Die Qualität ist top und für diesen Preis absolut unschlagbar. Ich kaufe ihn immer wieder und bin jedes Mal begeistert. Für mich der perfekte Eyeliner – klare Empfehlung!

アイラインが滲みやすい目をしています アイビー色が欲しかったので購入しましたが、他にも落ちにくい商品があったので 再度購入は見送りです でも、青々しいのは気にいってるので何とか使用できないか奮闘中です

The jade shade is bold, smooth, and glides on without tugging. It lasts all day with no smudging and adds the perfect pop of colour to my wife's eye.

The Eye liner is easy to apply as it slides very easily and the black is a lovely dark black.
