After using MAC fluidline gel eyeliner in "rich ground" for a number of years, I had to change the eyeliner as MAC decided for some reason known only to themselves that this color was discontinued. Boo hoo! After having a "hissy fit", I got over it and got proactive by looking high and low for a replacement. No gel liners in pots that had that coppery color that looks good on me with my hazel eyes and red hair and fair skin. So, even though I wasn't crazy about the idea of a pencil (they break off when sharpening), I was at Target and got a pencil from NYX with the color "golden bronze". Beautiful! It glides on real smooth so I don't have to tug at my eyes and cause more wrinkles. I did try the retractable liner in "bronze" as the color of the tube looked pretty, but it was too dark on me. I also tried Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner as I thought maybe paying more $$$ would mean the product was better. That's not true, in this case. I'm sticking to the regular NYX pencil that I'm reviewing. Yes, I have to sharpen it but I did invest $10 in the Urban Decay dual sharpener as it doesn't break off the eyeliner as the cheaper drugstore ones do. I even tried the NYX sharpener and it was a dud. So, it stays on real good all day and doesn't budge,fade, smear even after exercising. I use a MAC eyeshadow called "Antiqued" to augment the color and it looks really good! I take it off with Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids,Lashes. Go for it. It's only about $8. A real steal

Ok. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I assumed this was a twist-up product because the woodpart around the color seemed to be made of a plasticky composite destined to shred sharpening razors. Pencils should never be made like this. I used the top and the product was just ok, then I ran into the same problems I have with all eyeliner pencils ... Leads are too soft and snap, snap, snap. Snapping problems in pencils Always seem to stem from cheap enclosing materials, such wood with very large grains where the casing can splinter or aligning the lead slightly off center. NYX Seemed to overcompensate with it's the gluelike wood composite. Creating a product with its own set of problem. Awful.

I absolutely love this eyeliner. It is the wonderful coppery-bronze color I have been searching for, and it doesn't have too much red undertones in it! I think this would be best suited for fair skin toneswhile it is not too dark and not too light for me, it might pull a tad too light on darker skin. For example, this doesn't show up that well when I wear dark eyeshadow, so I tend to only wear this with light to medium eyeshadow shades. I also think this would be best suited for hazel, blue, and green eyes, as copper and bronze shades tend to enhance those color eyes. When I wear this eyeliner, it really makes my eyes pop!This eyeliner is incredibly long-lasting. It lasts all day for me, no smudging, fading, nothing. To give you an idea of how long-lasting this eyeliner iswhen I got home after buying this, I swatched it on my hand. After many times washing my hands throughout the day, the eyeliner stay put and did not fade. I'm not joking! Finally, after trying to rub it off THE NEXT DAY with my fingers, it faded, but it was honestly still there. I ended up having to remove it with makeup remover that night! (Keep in mind that was a day and a half after I had initially swatched it.) I can't vouch for its lasting power on the waterline, as I usually only line my waterline with nude eyeliner. However, on the upper eyelid, it stays all dayI do not notice any difference whatsoever from when I apply it in the morning to when I take it off at night before bed.The application is great and very easy. It takes me very little time to apply this and really does just slide right on. It's very creamy. I have not tried smudging it yet, so I cannot tell you how it does with a smudged or smoky eye look, but I can image this would do very well for that sort of look. Also, as long as you sharpen the pencil once every few days, you can get either a thin or thick line.On a side note, I really like how this eyeliner pairs with most lipsticks, especially Revlon's Berry Rich. When I wear both, it is one of my favorite makeup combinations.

These Slide On Glide On NYX eye pencils are great they are very soft, so apply easily and smoothly, great variety of shades and they are so affordable. Golden Bronze is one of my most reached for NYX pencils as it pairs so well with all of the neutral palettes like the Naked's, Too Faced neutrals and Lorac etc. I find this lasts all day and like to set this with a shadow from the palette I am working with at the time.This does need to be sharpened often and now Iv'e had it awhile and its been sharpened loads the pencil inner colour slides in and out and needs to be pushed back in to use. Though for the cost I can hardly complain.

Golden Bronze is perfect! It is not too orange or brown. Shine but not over the top and no glitter. The NYX Pencils are the best long wearing need to sharpen ones around.
