Review on Get Noticed With NYX Professional Makeup'S Vivid Brights Liquid Liner In Had Me At Yellow: Smear-Resistant And Precise Eyeliner For Eye-Catching Looks by Brando Carpenter

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It smells like expired paint.

I was very excited to buy this liner as it was sold out of stores for a long time and i'd wanted it since it came out. Upon opening the liner it seemed normal and all fine but once I opened it and gave it a good sniff, it was VERY expired. It smells like expired wall paint and I figured I'd power through it and try it out. (What's the worst that could happen right?)I tried to do a watermelon look (picture attached) which turned out alright but felt very tight on the eye as soon as it dried. On the plus side, it does dry very fast and matte. I had it on for maybe two hours at most and after 20 minutes the formula cracked and later on flaked off.The color payoff does not match the color on the packaging AT ALL. if you're looking for the bright aqua green it displays, you will get more of a toned-down forest green color. (I knew this from having swatched it before and was fine with it, but A lot of people who can't see the product first might not know about this.I did have a slight reaction as I have very sensitive eyes but it was just a bit of redness upon removal, no burning or itching. All in all, this was a bit of a let down as when I'd tried it out before, it had no flaking, no rancid scent, and no tight feeling on the skin. I would recommend trying to get this in store as the expiration dates will be adhered to more than this retailer may have.I, unfortunately, waited too long to return it as I had misplaced it and thought it was thrown away, which is the reason for leaving this review. I also ordered one of the yellow liner and that one was perfectly fine. (pictures attached) It was really just the green that I had problems with.
