NYX Professional Makeup Slim Eye Liner Pencil, Velvet 0.04 oz

I've been using the Slim Eye Pencil for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed. It glides on smoothly without tugging at the delicate skin around my eyes, and the color payoff is solid — rich, pigmented, and buildable. It's perfect for everyday wear, whether I'm going for a soft natural look or something more defined. It's also easy to sharpen, which I prefer over twist-up liners since it gives me more control over the tip. The pencil lasts well throughout the day with minimal smudging, especially when I set it with a bit of eyeshadow. Overall, it's a great value for the price. I'll definitely be picking up more shades!

I love the eye liners and the way the glide on, they last all day and the colors are perfect. However, I have noticed the last couple of times that they are hard to sharpen. They sharpen more on one side or the tips break off causing you to have to sharpen it more. I thought maybe my sharpener was getting dull, so I bought a new, same thing. I don't know if they are being made out of the same material or if I just received some older ones. I will say that it happened with both of the colors that I ordered so I can't say that it was one or the other. I do love them and will continue to purchase them because other than the sharpening issue, they are amazing!
