Price I Paid

Design

This is a pencil eyeliner, it is quite a thick eyeliner which is good for creating a smokey eye look rather than a defined, clear line.  You will need to buy a large sharpener for this pencil which is annoying.

Colour

A rich black, the colour is intense!

Texture

The texture of this eyeliner is good and bad.  There are so many rave reviews about it so when I had the opportunity to try it I was so disappointed.  The good part is that it creates a nice smokey look quite easily and glides on smoothly.  

The bad part is that my eyes were already slightly watery because I have the dreaded hay fever at this time of year.  To be fair this product does not claim to be waterproof they actually have another pencil that does so this may be partially my fault.  What I could recommend this eyeliner for would be any makeup artist interested in creating a horror film because it created perfect black mascara drip tears down my face as soon as they started watering.  I think that anyone with oily skin should also avoid this product as it has hardly any staying power whatsoever.

Overall Reaction

It is not long wearing but it would look great for a few minutes for a photograph or for longer if you are acting in a horror film.
