![]() ![]() NYX Epic Wear eyeliner is available in eight different colors in matte and six additional colors in metallic hues. It dries to a bold matte finish and can be used on the face and body (if, say, you wanted to create a temporary tattoo). This eyeliner, which can be found online and at plenty of major retailers (I picked mine up at CVS), touts itself as a semi-permanent liquid gel formula that is waterproof, smudge-proof, and life-proof. Pro-tip: This product requires less skill to master than your average liquid liner, but still, practice makes perfect.When to use: Any day you don’t want your eyeliner to smudge (a.k.a.Who it’s for: Anyone who likes eyeliner, people who want to wear makeup and cry (or otherwise wet their face), and people who love the look of liquid eyeliner but have been too intimidated to try it.There’s also a line of Epic Wear metallic colors, which I haven’t tried. Colors: Black, brown, “stone fox” (it’s gray), white, sapphire, lilac, red, and yellow.I am one of you, and I bring tidings of great joy: I’ve found a product that will give you that precise liquid liner look without the trial and error. Now I know that phrase - liquid eyeliner - has already struck fear into the hearts of my girlies with shaky hands. (Ask me how many times I’ve stabbed myself in the eye trying.) After years of experimenting, I found that liquid eyeliner was my best chance. Besides, I’m fairly uncoordinated and applying just the right pressure to get a dark line without getting a thick line is beyond my ken. Your typical eyeliner pencil?

But the specifics of eyeliner became something of a challenge. I didn’t really start wearing makeup even semi-regularly until my mid-20s and eventually I settled on a very basic everyday look: a dab of concealer, bold lipstick, and eyeliner. Whenever I tried to apply eyeshadow, from middle school until well after college, I generally came out looking like a toddler who got into markers. I didn’t grow up watching anyone brush on mascara or blend foundation and the thought of attempting it intimidated me. I was allowed to wear makeup, but I rarely did because I just didn’t know how to apply it. When I was little, my mom viewed makeup with skepticism that frequently dipped into disdain. ![]()
