Ok let me start by saying I have an addiction to eye liner and mascara. I have used liners from $1.99 to $50-ish. I have tried pharmacy, mid, high end, and luxury, in pencil, cream, liquid, gel, you name it. This is my FAVORITE everyday pencil liner. I have UD, I have stila, Sephora, Ulta, Clinique, Pat McGrath, Danessa Myricks, Dior…..this wins. every time. It goes down smooth, great color, it doesn't smear or migrate where it doesnt belong, and it lasts through my day. I have fairly oily eyelids, as most people do.
