tldr; Drugstore wing queen. Precise brush tip, jet black, doesn't skip. KVD dupe for 1/3 the price.

Best praise vs top criticism for NYX Professional Makeup Epic Ink Liner
“I love Stila Stay All Day liquid liner. I love the formula and the applicator. I use NYX Epic Ink liquid liner when I'm on a budget. I like the formula but sometimes the brush tip leaks and it gets too inky. When it works, it works great though. Never felt the need to try other liners once using these.”
“Oh gosh yeah. So i wash my face with the Liz earl hot cloth cleaner, use Paula’s choice BHA after then I prep my skin with any generic moisturiser these days, think the one I’m using currently is from Aldi (its not amazing but I think all moisturiser work the same anyway) put on any lip balm and leave skin and lips to sink in for about 10/20 mins, the longer the better imo. I use the elf halo glow for a base. Use a concealer to cover blemishes I let it sit for a minute or two before blending lightly. Next I go in with a water tint (etude house) on my cheeks (I think blush fades so fast so this helps) Now I use contour (the revlon 5in1 concealer in 070) put that just under where the blush went and on forehead. Blend. I then put on sheglam love cake (shimmer version) on my cheeks blend that out. My concealer is always changing as I have yet to find a good one but now would put on that (currently using Juvia’s place I am magic concealer) its full coverage and a little drying but I really try to avoid any drying concealers so I also don’t enjoy the elf camo one or the Maybelline insta anti age one. I use benefit bronzer to set my contour, I also put it on my eyelids, nose and under bottom lip. I use the L’Oréal Le Blush 120 on cheeks and the left over lightly dust in my forehead and nose and chin. I don’t use translucent powder to set anything not even under my eyes, I find it makes the concealer crease and it’s easier to use your finger to blend the under eye later on in the day, I would just use my bronzer brush with the left over and dab on the places to use the left over and it kinda blends all the colours into the skin better imo. I don’t really do anything with my eyebrows anymore as I get them tinted now. I’m not really using lip liners or lip tints as much now either but would always use a NYX liner and sheglam good habit lip tint. I now just use the Nivea lip tint in cherry shine. My mascara is the Maybelline sky high mascara (I don’t exactly like it, not a fan of tubbing mascaras) Hope this helped xoxo”
