NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Mechanical Eye Pencil, Vivid Rich Mechanical, Creamy Retractable Eyeliner - Quartz Queen, White 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.

I’ve been using this NYX mechanical eyeliner for years and always go back to it. It glides on smoothly, has great pigment, and is so easy to use since there’s no sharpening needed. The formula stays on really well throughout the day without smudging too much, and it’s great for both everyday makeup and more dramatic looks. I also love how affordable it is compared to higher-end eyeliners while still performing really well. Definitely one of my makeup staples!

Great bold black eyeliner. Long lasting.

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.

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 usually purchase the waterproof deep purple which they now do not carry anymore. Very disappointed…. Please bring it back! This new pencil was not what I expected. It smudges terribly and smears under my eyes not long after applying. I had to constantly reapply to achieve the look I desired and wipe off the smeared area. I applied at waterline on top snd some on the lid but the color does not stay in place. I unfortunately bought three of them and will never use them. Missed the return window. I do not recommend.

I purchased the NYX Vivid Rich Mechanical Eye Pencil because it’s the only eyeliner my 14-year-old daughter will wear, and now I understand why. She loves that it’s mechanical (no sharpening needed), which makes it quick and easy to use — especially on busy school mornings. The color payoff is just right: noticeable but not overpowering, so it gives definition without looking too heavy or dramatic. It goes on smoothly, doesn’t tug, and stays put all day without smudging or fading. If you’re looking for a reliable, easy eyeliner that’s great for a natural everyday look — especially for teens or anyone who prefers a softer style — this one is a winner. We’ll definitely be buying it 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!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.
