probably not the same nyc liner you would buy at walmart [SEP] i swear this does not seem like the original nyc eyeliner that i used to buy at walmart however it did work as i needed the formula of this seems more runny and not as dark as what i used to buy i ended up having to build it a bit furthermore the bristles on the brush to apply were stiff and some kind of pointy ultimately i do not think i would buy again and would only get if it was last resort i am currently using the wet n wild megaliner and it works perfectly
