I got Revolution and High Standards. This is not a good lip liner. These went dry after only about 2 months and are no longer usable even though I haven't used them much. I sharpened down a lot, and still dry. And yes you sharpen these totally normally, nothing special required, they are not the twist to push up kind. The formula is thick but not that creamy and once it starts drying, it just crumbles off your lips and gets cakey. If you are on a budget, their old cheap ones are a bit better than this on longevity, or just save up and get Bite Beauty lip pencils if you are looking for a thick and opaque, high quality liner. Or Urban Decay. They are also not true to color despite the opacity, Revolution is actually dark teal on my lips (Christmas green before you apply), and High Standards is a dark cool pinky mauve (looks like a warm pinky nude). They are unflattering on the lips alone. Less

Love the NYX lip liners! They are long lasting and creamy textured. Last all day, even through drinking and eating.

This is the first NYX product I have ever bought/used. I wasn't expecting greatness because of the prices of the brand being in more of a similar range to that of Maybelline, Rimmel etc. BUT ALAS this lipliner is absolutely banging! I usually use Mac and currently use a Stila one but although the Mac is pretty good it hasn't got anything on this at all. And the Stila one isn't that great tbh. With this NXY one it has quite a creamy consistency (so no dragging), the colour goes on reallyy rich, it stays put for ages, it's inexpensive and it is my new fave. Can't see myself buying any other brand of lipliner anytime soon :) 

I purchased this lipliner in Revolution (the green one!) to match NYX's Wicked Lippie in Risque. Sadly, that lipstick has less-than-perfectly-opaque-application and it is a slippery formula so putting more coats on to achieve perfection will cause it to end up all over your face. And I was never able to find the right color eyeliner to use as a lipliner for it, either... Well, NYX read my mind and created this and I couldn't be happier! So now I fill my lips entirely with this liner first and then apply the lipstick over it, which takes care of any pesky pink pigmentation poking through the green. (Also, this liner would probably match Urban Decay's Vice Lipstick in Junkie pretty well, too.)As for performance, this liner goes on smoothly, lasts all day, and doesn't feel drying on my lips (and I tend to have very dehydrated/chapped lips.) It is a matte finish, no shimmer or sparkle whatsoever.Also important to note, this liner is not retractable/automatic, so it does NOT twist up or roll up. And no where on it does it say that it does. Yes, the tube is "plastic," but you SHARPEN it with a pencil sharpener, just like you would a regular old fashioned wooden lipliner. It's literally the smoothest pencil I've ever sharpened (far better than regular pencils), which is why I just cannot believe some of the reviews on here from people saying they're struggling. Trust me, just try it. If my $2 Essence sharpener can handle it, I'm sure whatever sharpener you have laying around can do the job. Just use common sense when sharpening: be gentle, but not so gentle that the pencil doesn't initially connect with the blade. After the initial connection, it'll be smooth sailing. Less

I can not fathom why anyone would buy an expensive lip pencil for 20$ when you can get up to 6 Nyx pencils for the same price. These are stunningly amazing. I have one Mac lip pencil and I hardly ever touch that after I got Nyx. I bought 6 and just bought 6 more (12 total) and I am in love. They are absolutely amazing. Pigmentation is perfect and it's not too dry or too soft. They last a long time and the color range is fantastic. I am more of a Mauve-Nude type of gal, and they have just the colors I want! Every time I visit my local CVS, they are ALWAYS sold out of the colors I am looking for (Mauve, Natural, Ever, etc) so getting them on Ebay is my only option. I have to say I am happy that they are always sold out in stores because they are little bit more expensive. Always been satisfied with Nyx products, but their lip pencils are definitely my favorite. They don't have a smell either and I know some lip pencils have that "woody" smell (I personally don't mind). They stay on the lips for a long time and extends the longevity of any lipstick you put on over top. If there is a Mac color you're looking for, chances are, there is a dupe for it from Nyx so do your research before you splurge! This is a gem of a find. Never buying high end lip pencils ever again! « less
