Details & care

What it is: A liquid eyeliner that delivers rich black color that stays on, won't fade and looks freshly applied for 24 hours.

What it does: Its superfine and easy-to-control tip precisely draws thin to thick lines, making it easy to ace any look, even if you're a beginner. It goes on smoothly and with the fluidity of a sharp-point marker without any skipping, tugging, flaking or smudging. Its waterproof formula is sweat-, humidity- and transfer-resistant.

How to use: Use the tip to precisely line and define the eye. One coat creates a wearable daytime look. Widen your line to add intensity. Build drama by winging it out. To prevent dry-out, close the top tightly until you hear a click.

So Forgiving for Beginners

I’m a beginner with liquid eyeliner and this has been the best for my trial and error. It’s silky smooth, the tip is perfect for applying a thin line, and it doesn’t smudge!

Canceled my Auto-Delivery

I have bought this eyeliner for YEARS with auto-delivery, and it was the only one I could ever find that stayed on all day long. The last eyeliner I received would smear off on top of my eyelid within 15 minutes of wearing it. So I contacted customer service, and they sent me another one for free. Same problem. I wore it all day long on a Saturday, and by the end of the night there was barely any left and I looked like I had two black eyes. The attached picture is after wearing it for only a few hours. If you're looking for a good black liquid liner, I would suggest getting NYX Epic Ink Liner. I bought this for like $8 at Walgreen's and it works great. I am so irritated about this eyeliner because it used to be my favorite. Either the quality or something changed, and it's terrible now.

Precise and Dark

I LOVE this eyeliner! It is so underrated! It gives me SUCH a precise wing and I love that it's jet black (no sheen to it). Also it doesn't get sticky/tacky (if that even makes sense like some of the competition out there). I had read some poor reviews for this but I'm glad I tried it for myself because it's my new fave liquid eyeliner! I think many reviews/concerns were about it drying out quickly, which I haven't had an issue with; just make sure you 'snap' it shut and you're good to go! Give this baby a try!

Bleeds when applied

This bleeds very bad when applied. It does not stay a nice straight line but rather almost goes on like water color paint.

Don't purchase - waste of money

I bought two of these pens last December and finished one in January. When I opened the second one, it was completely dried up. I tried everything: shaking it, turning it over, pressing harder, and it refused to draw at all. Something completely new was more dry than the one I had used previously. I emailed Smashbox with no response, so don't waste your time and money purchasing these pens here if their products dry out without even being used.

ABSOLUTELY DRIED OUT

I have bought two and the second one never even applied it was completely dried. I used to buy this all the time and now I will never purchase again.

This and Stila's are my favorite liquid eyeliners

I switch between this one and Stila's and love them both. It draws on really well and opaque and is easy to use with a nice fine tip. The difference I notice between the Stila one and this is that the Stila one is almost more opaque or darker, I'm not sure. It reminds me more of those old liquid eyeliners that came in the little jar--- has a more latexy finish to it. And again, I like them both, the difference is in the finish. I'm surprised to read that people had issues with nothing coming out--it sounds like they may have gotten a bad one and should have exchanged it for a new one because I've never had a problem and used this for many years.

Dry. Something is wrong.

This was my favorite liquid liner for years. With it, I created the perfect winged eye. However, something has changed for the WORST. I noticed that this liner dries significantly fast. I continued to purchase multiple, only to realize it would be dry and useless, even with minimum usage. By useless, I mean that I could not make the winged liner because the "ink" or liquid was hardly existent---much like a pen that can no longer write. In fact, I opened a brand new one yesterday and today it no longer works. This is extremely disappointing. However, after many purchases with the same disappointing result, I have decided to experiment with other brands to find my next favorite liquid liner. I am sad about abandoning this liquid liner, but something has gone wrong. I hope that Smashbox will look into this.

A non-performer

I had high hopes for this liner after reading reviews. After taking it out of the box, it literally didn't work at ALL. Would not draw a line; not with the fine tip, nor with turned at an angle. I'll go back to Stila- at least it works most of the time. Returned immediately.
