NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Epic Inky Stix Mechanical Cream-Gel Eyeliner — 05 Robotic Red (Matte), Waterproof 24HR Wear

Epic Inky Stix is a mechanical cream-gel eyeliner in Robotic Red that clicks to deliver one-stroke, waterproof color with up to 24-hour wear.

Designed for bold, effortless eye looks, this NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Epic Inky Stix in shade 05 Robotic Red (matte) combines a rich cream-gel core with a slanted precision tip. The twist-up mechanism means no sharpening is required, and the quick-dry formula aims to resist smudging, flaking, and fading through a long day or night. Available in a range of intense inky shades, the pencil is built to create everything from thin, defined lines to dramatic graphic shapes without a brush.

How does the slanted tip improve application?

The angled tip is crafted to give precise control whether you want a hair-fine liner or a fuller wing. It hugs the lash line for a steady sweep and lets you lift the outer edge for a crisp cat-eye. That shape removes the guesswork when switching between delicate and bold styles.

• Slanted tip enables thin and thick strokes with a single tool
• Holds steady against lashes for consistent pigment laydown
• Great for both tightlining and extended wing shapes

Will it stay put through the day and night?

The formula is described as quick-drying and waterproof, made to resist smudging and flaking for long wear. While individual wear time varies by skin type and conditions, the product is formulated to maintain intense color for extended periods. Set makeup or layer over primer for extra longevity in humid or oily conditions.

• Waterproof cream-gel base helps block transfer and run-off
• Quick-dry finish minimizes smearing during application
• Pairs well with eye primer or setting spray for tougher environments

How do I achieve different eyeliner looks with one pencil?

Because the pencil is creamy and highly pigmented, you can vary pressure and angle to shift between subtle definition and high-impact graphics. Use the narrow edge for tightlining, the flat side to fill a wing, or blend quickly before it sets for a smoked effect. No brush is required, keeping application simple for everyday or editorial looks.

• Light pressure + tip edge = fine liner or tightline
• Flat side + firmer stroke = bold graphic line or wing
• Smudge before drying for a smoky finish, or leave crisp for sharp shapes

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP is PETA-recognized as cruelty-free, and the mechanical design eliminates sharpening and waste.
