You don't have to break your budget to buy a great eyeliner when you can get the Slim Eye Pencil from NYX for less than $5. Just because an eyeliner doesn't cost much doesn't mean it's not a great product.
Case in point: NYX Slim Eye Pencil.
This basic eyeliner goes on smoothly and contains coconut oil to help moisturize your lids. While it's not waterproof, it does stay in place quite well, and you can achieve a wide range of eye looks depending on your preference.
With more than 1,800 reviews and an average of 4.0 stars on Ulta, this is undoubtedly a popular eyeliner. Buyers commented that the pencil was easy to use and goes on smooth, easy to blend out for great daytime and nighttime looks, and easy to remove at the end of the night.
On the downside, some reviewers did feel the pencil didn't last long enough or smudged too easily, and some said the color faded as the day went on. But, in general, how long the pigment stays on your skin is made up of factors like your skin's oil levels, if you rub your eyes, and more so the wear-time is always subjective.
There are 24 colors of NYX Slim Eye Pencil to choose from including white, teal, baby blue, taupe, and seafoam green.
Pros: Great price, many colors, smooth application
Cons: Might smudge or fade for some
