NYX Epic Ink Liner Black

The NYX Epic Ink Liner Black is a best-selling liquid eyeliner celebrated for its intensely pigmented, jet-black formula and its ultra-precise, flexible brush tip applicator. Designed to deliver effortless application, it allows users to create everything from fine, subtle lines for everyday definition to bold, dramatic wings and graphic designs. Its waterproof and smudge-resistant claims make it a go-to for long-lasting wear, aiming to stay put throughout the day without fading or flaking, even in dynamic climates like Nairobi. The pen format provides control, though its fluid nature can sometimes require a steady hand.

Key Ingredients NYX Epic Ink Liner Black

• Water (Aqua): The main solvent.
• Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer: A film-forming polymer that creates a long-lasting, flexible, and waterproof layer on the skin, contributing to its smudge-resistance.
• Propylene Glycol & Butylene Glycol: Humectants and solvents that help keep the formula fluid and aid in smooth application.
• Carbon Black (CI 77266): The primary pigment responsible for the intense, true black color.
• Acrylates Copolymer: Another film-forming agent that aids in the liner’s adherence and longevity.
• Beheneth-30: An emulsifier and stabilizer.
  
  How To Use NYX Epic Ink Liner Black
• Prep Eyelids: For best results, ensure your eyelids are clean, dry, and optionally primed with an eyeshadow primer to create an even base and enhance longevity.
• Shake Gently: Give the pen a gentle shake before use to ensure the product is fully saturated in the brush tip.
• Apply Along Lash Line:
  • For a Thin Line: Use the very tip of the brush and apply with light pressure, tracing along your upper lash line as close to the lashes as possible.
  • For a Thicker Line: Apply slightly more pressure with the side of the brush to create a bolder, more dramatic line.
• Create a Wing (Optional):
  • Start by drawing a small diagonal line upwards from your lower lash line to the desired angle of your wing.
  • Connect the tip of this line back to your upper lash line, creating an outline of a triangle.
  • Fill in the outline with the liner.
• Allow to Dry: Let the eyeliner dry completely for a few seconds without blinking excessively or touching it, to ensure it sets and becomes truly waterproof and smudge-proof.
• Removal: Due to its waterproof nature, it’s best removed with an oil-based makeup remover or micellar water.
