I really love this liner. The black is so vivid and bold, and it glides on like a charm. It truly stays all day without smudging or smearing, which is rare for something that applies so smoothly. My only small gripe is that I wish the tip were a little sharper for more precise lining. But overall, it does exactly what it says. I love it, intense color, long wear, and effortless application. I love this collection by Loreal, and for the price you you can't go wrong. Read more

TIGHTLINE PROCEDURE: applied, then opened eyes wide with little blinking for 1 minute. COLOR: very nice, deep purple (no sparkle or metallic tinges). The color rivaled but wasn't as rich as Urban Decay 24/7. (But UD smudged on my hooded, extremely oily eyes & disappeared by the end of the day.) NO SMUDGING: woo hoooo! No smudging on top or below eyes throughout the day. Some fading, but not marked. I don't ever re-apply so more than enough color left to make me happy. REMOVAL: with Neutrogena Oil-Free Makeup Remover on a cotton pad, I gently press it on my eyelid & then with the pad, roll my upper lid just ever so slightly & keep the pad on the tightlined area for a few seconds. After, I wait 20-30 seconds, and then swipe several times with the pad again. This removes all or most of the liner. I wouldn't qualify this as an easy to remove liner, but it's easy enough given the all-day wear. Also, for perspective, I do not wear mascara. Lastly, I don't wear contacts so I can't speak to whether this liner would cause irritation. DEFINITELY HG! I'm a relative minimalist with makeup. 5-10 minutes at most with SPF, pressed powder, loose powder, lite blush, eyebrows, & tightline liner. Because of its outstanding color & all-day staying power (into 9-10 pm), it's easily become my HG liner! Read more
I use this to match my eyebrows to my hair color, and for that application I highly recommend it! Within a minute or so of using this pencil, it doesn't smudge at all, which means it stays on my brows instead of making its way onto the frames of my glasses. I have to use micellar water with a washcloth to get it off, occasionally rubbing against the grain. I've used it as actual eyeliner only once, and it stayed on for nearly three days, though showering and other applications of makeup. I have fragile eyelids due to a collagen condition, and if I rub them too much they get super irritated; after gently wiping the liner with micellar water didn't work, I decided to just leave it alone. Because it dries matte and can be difficult to remove, I wouldn't recommend this for waterline use. As far as I can tell, the barrel of the pencil is plastic, which means the liner itself isn't very firmly adhered in there. I've had two sticks of this so far, and there's a higher incidence of breakage when sharpening than I've had with wooden pencils, because the sharper you try to get it, the more it has opportunity to bend slightly in the sharpener and snap off. I can't get this liner to a fine point, which hasn't been a big deal for my giant eyebrows but may create an issue for folks using it on their lids. Read more
I must say, I have bought expensive brands trying to get a liner to stay on the bottom of my eyes for the last two years or so. This is the liner to go with!!! It stayed on all New Years Eve and I woke up it was still there. For a 48 year old my eye are just different than before and they water more. It glides on so smooth and looks amazing. I would highly recommend this liner! Read more
I love the softness of this gel liner but it doesn't sharpen very well after the first couple of times. I've purchased this product at least 10 times and have the same sharpening issues starting about 1/3 of the way through the pencil. I've tried 3 different sharpeners, all new or close to it. No difference. The only reason I keep buying it is because the product itself is so good (perfect color, easy to apply). I wish L'Oreal would fix this sharpening problem. Otherwise, I'd give it 5 stars. Read more
Stays on all day! Read more
I really like the color a lot. I like the ease of how it goes on and it lasts a few hours. But it's easily used up in one application. It has to be sharpened every time. I do not like the fact that it is too soft and breaks off easily in my pencil sharpener. The pencil itself did not last long at all and was used up really fast. It would be great if they could make it a roll-up eyeliner instead. Read more
