NYX Collection Noir Eye Liner Swatches & Review
NYX has a new eye liner collection called Collection Noir.
Collection Noir features eight different eye liners, all in black with one in brown as well (Powder Liner).
- Powder Black Liner
- Powder Brown Liner (not shown)
- Liquid Black Liner
- Matte Black Liner
- Glossy Black Liner
- Satin Finish Black Liner
- Kohl Kajal Black Liner
- Skinny Black Liner (not shown)
There are definite differences in the finishes of these as you will see from the swatches below.
Powder Black Liner comes in a pot with a soft sponge-y applicator. This powder liner is a bit messy because of powdery fallout, and it gives a softer less deep and precise line.
Liquid Black Liner is a jet black liner with a fairly thin brush. The wand is a little bit longer than I would prefer though. I feel like a shorter wand and brush is easier for me to control.
Matte Black Liner, Glossy Black Liner, Satin Finish Black Liner, Kohl Kajal Black Liner
Matte Black Liner comes in a twist up pencil, as does Glossy Black Liner.
Both Satin Finish and Kohl Kajal come in a regular pencil which will need sharpening.
Powder Black Liner, Liquid Black Liner, Matte Black Liner, Glossy Black Liner, Satin Finish Black Liner, Kohl Kajal Black Liner
Powder Black Liner (0.05 oz) as you can see it the least deep black here and easy to smudge out.
Liquid Black Liner (0.123 oz) is a deep black.
Matte Black Liner (0.012 oz) is a dark matte, flat black. This one feels a little harder and more chalky than the others. It’s not as deep a black color either.
Glossy Black Liner (0.001 oz) gives a slight glossy finish to the blackness. Hard to tell here, but in person you can see it.
Satin Finish Black Liner (0.04 oz) is also a very dark black with a satin (non-flat, not shiny) finish. Very smooth and easy to apply.
Kohl Kajal Black Liner (0.004 oz) is a deep black kohl. This is very soft and blend-able.
Overall:
I think the best ones here are the Glossy, Satin and Kohl liners. They felt the easiest to apply, easy to blend and are a very jet black color. The liquid is nice however I prefer a smaller, easier to control brush. For me powder liners can be cool but beware the fallout!
Availability: NYX and Cherry Culture.
Pricing: $6.00.
Have you tried any of these yet?

Welcome! My name is Kelly and Vampy Varnish is a animal friendly beauty blog.
I just may have to try these. How long did they last? I am still looking for my holy grail super black eyeliner that isnt waterproof but lasts all day with out ending up all over my eye lids. Please let us know how long the wear time worked for you. Thanks.
Hi robin,
I haven’t worn all 6 of them yet, but over a primer on my upper lid the satin one lasted 8-10 hours or so before I removed it with no issues. I rarely have issue on upper lid it’s waterline that usually causes problems with me, but I have yet to try them on waterline…
I definitely want the glossy one
Hi Andrea,
Yeah you can definitely tell it’s different from the others when you see it in person.
I love how dark the kajal liner is. I bought the Skinny Black liner, and I’m going to review it soon.

Hi Chris,
Cool! I like super dark black liners also.
I’ve never tried a powder liner. Usually if I want to set a liner or smudge it out, I’ll just go over with some eye shadow.

Hi Swatch and Learn,
They do tend to be really messy because of fallout!
Oh! I really love eyeliners, though I never seem to finish one stick. Might check these out as I have yet to find my “holy grail” eyeliner. Probably my oily lids but eyeliner fades after a few hours

Hi Resa,
I rarely do either I have so many! Some really cool limited edition MAC colors I have gone through and am sad about now, haha.
I really like the look of the liquid.

I’d like to try the glossy just to see how it looks on. I don’t think I have a glossy pencil.

The liquid liner looks wonderful. What is an example of a brand whose applicator for liquid liner you prefer? Trying to get an idea of how long the brush is.

Who knew you could even have so many options for black liner? The Kohl Kajal looks amazing, though!

Interesting collection. Will have to try some of these.
Is the Kohl Kajal, like, actual kohl kajal? All I know of it is in the form of powder in a tube, and it’s practically waterproof.
