Listen, if there’s one eyeliner I can’t live without, it’s this little gem right here—the CLIO Sharp So Simple Waterproof Pencil Liner. I’ve been using it for years, and every time I try something new, I always come running back. I love a crisp, defined eye, especially in my waterline, but I also like a soft, smudgy edge that gives that effortless, sultry look. A brush liner? Too harsh and way too high-stakes—I don’t have the patience for perfection on the first try! But this pencil? It’s the perfect balance of precision and forgiveness. Is it totally budge-proof for 12 hours straight? Not quite, but with my oily lids (even with primer), I can get a solid 7 AM to 2 PM wear time before I need a quick refresh. And for me, that’s impressive. Plus, if you use eyelid tape, this liner actually adheres well and still pops—though, fair warning, it’s a little less forgiving on tape if you make a mistake. The deep black shade is rich and bold, absolutely perfect for tight-lining my upper lashes. But my secret sauce? I layer it! Black on the waterline, dark brown above it, and then another soft brown on top—it gives the eyes such a dimensional, polished look. I do wish they had a shade between black and dark brown, but honestly, the formula and smooth application keep me hooked. One thing to note: this liner sometimes goes out of stock on Amazon, so if you see it available and you’re running low, order a batch! Nothing’s worse than scrambling for a replacement and having to settle for something that just doesn’t measure up. Whenever I’m in Asia, I stock up like crazy because I refuse to be without it. Long story short: if you love an eyeliner that’s sleek, smooth, and easy to work with while still staying put, this is THE ONE. I’ll be using it for years to come! Read more
This is my favorite eyeliner! It’s smooth and pigmented, easy to use, affordable, and pretty! Love the n4 color I’ve been using. Easy to smudge out and smoke it a bit, but also stays in place for a long time. 5 stars! Read more
This eyeliner is really good. I’ve been buying it for a few years now. It’s a great color and it mostly lasts all day. Read more
It's a great product, but it runs out so quick. It doesn't smudge or smear throughout the day and the color I use is dark brown which isn't too harsh on my eyes. It softens your makeup look and easy to apply. It lasts all day, even when at the gym and through hot days. I love this product, just wish it had more productive Read more
Mute Gray is the perfect soft liner color I’ve been looking for. It’s a gray-heavy taupe, and even though I have very light skin and black lashes, this is a much more natural, soft, look than gray or brown. If I use a light hand it works for a ‘no makeup’ look for me. Also, I can use this on my lower lashline without it looking overdone, even if I’m using dark upper liner. Read more
I never imagined that something as simple as a gel pencil eyeliner could be bad, but this is. It's so dry that even pressing hard on my eyelid, I can barely get any pigment. Oh and also - if you press too hard, the exposed tip will simply snap off! I would not recommend this to anyone. I barely know what it looks like on my eye because I can't get any color payoff.

I am torn about this product. Pros: it lasts, great pigment and easy to apply. Cons: not enough product, last pencil I bought (I’ve bought twice) was half way broken, it’s a little thick for drawing finer wing lines and I can never quite achieve the look I want, it does smudge (I have oily, hooded lids), and when I draw it along my lash line the base of my eyelashes get sticky making it difficult to apply mascara effectively without clumping or having my eyelashes go a weird direction. I do like the fact that it does seem to last longer than most eyeliners. Is there a trick to make it more sharp for a fine line? Was wondering if putting it in the freezer might work. As of now, I’m still using this product because I haven’t experimented with anything else. Read more
