I’m pretty skeptical when it comes to ergonomic beauty tools as they more times than not do not work. So yes, I didn’t dive into NYX COSMETICS’ The Curve with the most open mind so did using it change my mind?

What it is: An innovative, ergonomic shape that makes applying liquid liner mistake-proof. The grip zone provides just the right hold to make application precise, secure and best of all effortless. Benefits: Intense color, water resistant, quick drying, lasts up to 14 hours, smudge-proof, paraben free, formaldehyde free.

My take: Liquid liner has always been a challenge in that I usually get one eye perfect and the other, well, not so much. Not that this helps with that issue but the way you hold it in your hand really does help you get a really good application. And the tip itself is really precise, as you can see in the above picture giving the blackest of black lines.

So did it last 14 hours? No clue as the longest I had it on was 8 hours and it came through with flying colors and that's good enough for me.

Will you give this one a spin? $15 @ amazon.com.
