Things to know before buying

This is more of a creamy blendable pencil than a super long-wear waterproof liner.

So while it looks beautiful initially:

• it can crease on oily lids,
• fade on the waterline,
• or smudge if not set properly.  

Most people who love it use it:

• as an eyeshadow base,
• under shimmer shadows,
• or for soft blended looks rather than sharp precise eyeliner.  

How to make it work better

• Use an eye primer underneath for longer wear
• Set it with powder eyeshadow to reduce creasing
• Blend quickly before it sets
• Sharpen regularly for cleaner application
• Best for lids and highlighting rather than detailed liner work
