NYX Cosmetics’ Black Pearl

Good for lining or smokey-eye looks, this is a solid black without the reflective finish that NYX's Black Chrome has. And of course it's so inexpensive…it says that each vial contains 1 gram, but based on my own highly subjective tests (repotting one vial of an NYX Pearl color into a 10-gram jar, which will generally hold 3 grams of product) I'd say that the average NYX Pearl vial probably holds closer to 2.5 grams. The color doesn't stay in place very long without a primer, even something as straightfoward as this black…but since I have to wear primer almost all the time because of my extremely oily lids, that isn't such an issue with me.
