Makeup is hands down my favorite beauty category. I can talk about all things blush, lipstick, and foundation in my sleep — that’s how confident I am about my knowledge of the space. Still, there’s a subcategory in cosmetics that continues to elude me: eye makeup. A few swipes of mascara is no big deal, but when it comes to eyeshadow, and even more particularly, eyeliner, I feel like a novice.
That being said, it’s pretty rare for an eyeliner to catch my attention. However, when I saw the Danessa Myricks Infinite Chrome Pencils ($24) going viral, I was immediately intrigued. Countless TikTok users have been raving about how much the pencils have been enhancing their eye looks and garnering them compliments left and right. Even though I don’t consider myself to be super well-versed in the eye category, I had to try this pencil for myself. Keep reading to see the chrome eyeliners in action and learn if they’re worth picking up and adding to your makeup collection.

What I Like About the Danessa Myricks Infinite Chrome Pencils
I chose the color Lilac Quarts because, as someone with brown eyes, I’ve always felt like purple makes them pop. I found the formula to be malleable enough to apply the product smoothly, but not too soft to where it would break every time I dragged it across my eye. I’ve used this pencil on my eyelids, as well as on my waterline, and I love that there’s no pulling or tugging. The eyeliner stays on for hours (yes, even in the middle of summer) and makes a fantastic inner corner highlighter or accent shade for a more dramatic eye-makeup look.
How to Use the Danessa Myricks Infinite Chrome Pencils
This pencil is pretty straightforward to use. Start by twisting it up to where just a bit of the pencil is visible at the tip and apply it to your preferred area. I don’t particularly like the look of a concentrated inner-corner highlighter on myself so I typically bring the color to about the first third of my eye, as I did here. Doing this made it much easier to see the chrome color shift in real-time without having to move your head too much or be in certain lighting.
What to Consider Before Buying the Danessa Myricks Infinite Chrome Pencils
If you are a makeup artist, you may run through this pencil very quickly — especially if you’re using it on multiple people every day. There is .005 ounces of product in the pencil, which is not that much considering most a standard pencils contain roughly 0.4 oz. Additionally, the product dries quickly, so if you plan on blending it out for an eyeshadow look, I recommend being speedy with it so it doesn’t set too fast on you.
