The “Quartz Queen” Pencil That Somehow Became My Favorite Lip Liner
I picked up the NYX Mechanical Eye Pencil in Quartz Queen because I was trying to solve a very specific problem: I wanted something quick, creamy, and easy to use for soft definition without having to commit to a full eyeliner routine every time I blinked in the mirror.As someone who owns way too many makeup products for someone who still says “I have nothing to wear,” I’ve learned I gravitate toward the things that are simple, reliable, and don’t require a tutorial to use at 7 a.m.First off, I genuinely love NYX as a brand. They’re one of those lines that consistently hits that sweet spot between affordable and actually good quality, without feeling like you’re sacrificing performance. And this pencil fits right into that.The shade Quartz Queen is what sold me in the first place. It’s this perfect cool-toned nude that just works with my coloring in a way that feels natural but still put together. It’s soft, not harsh, and gives that “enhanced but not overdone” vibe.Texture-wise, it’s creamy and smooth. It glides on without tugging, which I really appreciate, especially with something retractable like this—no sharpening, no mess, just twist and go. It sets down nicely and holds up pretty well throughout the day, which makes it easy to trust once it’s on.Now, I’ll be honest… I don’t even use it the “intended” way most of the time. It started as an eyeliner, but it quietly became one of my favorite lip liners instead. On my lips, it gives that soft cool nude definition that pairs really well with gloss or a more natural lip look. And it blends out nicely without looking patchy or harsh.As an eyeliner, it does the job too—smooth application, decent staying power, and smudge resistance—but I just personally reach for it more as a lip product because it fits my routine better that way.At around $6, the value is honestly kind of ridiculous in a good way. It’s one of those inexpensive staples that ends up staying in your makeup bag way longer than you expected because it just keeps getting used.If I had one small caveat, it’s that like most creamy pencils, it’s not going to stay absolutely perfect through heavy rubbing or very long, intense wear without a little touch-up. But for everyday use, it performs really well.Overall, Quartz Queen ended up being one of those “didn’t expect much, now I use it constantly” kind of products.Ver másVer menos
