I bought this in dark brown and it's really not very dark. More of a chocolate brown. I found it dry and dragging and difficult to apply. Does work to fill in my brows though. I much prefer the impact and easier application of liquid and gel liners.

This eyeliner is great! I bought it in black as my first eyeliner and I still have it after three years, so it has indeed lasted me a very long time. Out of all the pencil eyeliners out there, I think this one is the best because it is more rich and creamy than some other brands. Normally before I apply, I gently dip this in a lotion so that it can be drawn easier on my eyes. Doing this really helps the color come out easily and vibrantly. The color does kind of fade though, unlike liquid eyeliners, but that's to be expected with pencil eyeliners and in a way I love how it gives my eyes the illusion of the smokey eye when it's a bit faded.

I have another white one for my waterline and it works just as well. It does come off the waterline throughout the course of the day but I just reapply it when necessary so it's no big deal.

This pencil liner is so easy and great to apply. It's a good combination of creamy and firm. Creamy enough to almost paint on your lids and firm enough not to "melt" when applying.

I used a light hand in application. No mess, created the line I was looking for and is a solid black.

Downside is that you can't put it on your waterline. I don't ever rub my eyes and this seemed to smudge in a few hours. Though on my lashline, it still looked very good.

I'd buy again.

I bought this eyeliner in white to put on my waterline to brighten up my eyes. It did its job, but wasn't very creamy and the lasting power was just so-so. On the bright side, the price was cheap, about $3 at Ulta, and the color was a good shade of white for my eyes.

It works nice, but not as eyeliner. I use it as eyeshadow because I have the silver sparkle eyeliner and there is no color. It is clear eyeliner with sparkles, which is the complete opposite of what I was expecting. You cannot see it well on your lash line and it doesn't show on your water line. It also needs to be sharpened often. I would recommend this product but not as eyeshadow.

You get what you pay for. I got this in white for three bucks and this is possibly the worse eyeliner I have ever came across in my life. It came out like chalk (texture and color) and needless to say, it bled as soon as it came contact with water. On top of that, I had to apply several layers before the color shows up. I don't know about other colors, but save your three bucks (plus tax) on this piece of crap.

I have this pencil in Sky blue and I adore it, I apply it to the inside of my lower lip, I don't know what thats called? But it goes on so well and stays on for a few hours, considering it's right next to my eye. I love the color too.

I like this eyeliner, it really last long throughout the day and it's very pigmented. I got mines at Sally's a very long time ago, at first i though it was just any other eyeliner that it might just smudge but i ended up liking this one.

I like this pencil, but it's probably not something I would buy again. I have the white one, I bought it for my water line when I needed something to brighten my eyes up a bit. The pencil is a little firm and I have to warm it in my hand for a minute before I use it. It doesn't stay that long, but for me I only really need this to brighten my eyes for a little while and it's ok if it fades away.

I like this eyeliner overall, but it was a little too firm for my liking. I do like all the shades it comes in, though---silver, white, black, grey, brown, green, purple, blue...so many options!

Previous reviewers who commented that this product is not as soft and pigmented as they might expect or like a kohl pencil to be were spot-on. If I'd planned to use it for smoky eye looks I'd be disappointed. Fortunately, I bought it in Taupe to add subtle emphasis to very sparse or neutral make-up. It does the job brilliantly, with surprisingly good staying power. I found it a little too firm for my liking at first, so held it near the blue part of a lighter flame for a few seconds to soften. Good for occasions when you don't want to appear made-up but still want to look (and feel) pulled together. The pencil's firm texture and chameleon-like colour also make it great for eyebrows. I experimented with this whilst I was on the lookout for a specifically designed brow pencil. I found this product to be a very realistic antidote to all the other slightly-too-chestnut or Morticia offerings I tested. There's a smattering of silver shimmer that stops this looking flat as a liner, but worn on the brows it's impossible to detect any sparkle (and I've inspected very carefully. A lot.) It's almost comically cheap, but recommended whatever your budget. £1.98, from Sally's.

I'm not crazy about this. It's not too pigmented and not soft so it's hard to work with. For the price, it's ok

A very solid performance from this liner. It's great for both beginniners and experienced fans of the smoky-eye look.


It's rich in pigment, applies with no tugging, the texture is creamy... What can I say?


This liner simply does what it's supposed to without any gimmics or un-needed chemicals - it's a no-nonsense way to highlight your eyes.


It doesn't have super-amazing staying power, and isn't great for clean-cut lines, but it's a kohl liner, and such is its nature. If you want inky, precise lines then use a liquid.

Palladio's Pencil Kohl Eyeliner is great for eyeliner beginners. The color glides on effortlessly, and is richly pigmented. I love how they have many different color choices, so many to choose from! The staying power is awesome! I used the black on my lips to imitate a lipstick during SUMMER CAMP and it stayed ALL DAY LONG! No budging after sweating under the hot sun, and eating dinner. Overall, a great product.

I like the Palladio eyeliners. I like the twist to get more product....no sharpening. I "dot" the liner on my lower lash line....gives a softer look than drawing a line. This liner isn't razor sharp at the edge so gives a nice smudgy look....just right. As much as I use, these should last me my lifetime....I'll have to throw them out....I'll never use them up!

I didn't really like this. I got this in Black, and I thought it looked a bit harsh on me. It smudged on me like mad, but it didn't irritate me at all. I won't buy this again.

I bought this in the dark green color. After wearing it all day at work (8 hrs) I did notice that it smudged a tiny bit under my eyes. Next time I will have to set this liner with loose powder. Overall, I'd say that this is a decent eyeliner for the cheap price I paid. I will probably try experimenting with some of the other colors.

I love sky blue. I mix it with black khol liner and it looks fab. I buy them at sally beauty supply. I'll keep purchasing.

Great eye liner...soooo cheap and the pencil is huge so it lasts forever. I have it in white and glides on fairly smoothly (others are better, but not for this price!). It stays in place. Great product!

The eye pencil is soft enough to go on easily, yet stays on all day. The bonus for me is that the price is *very low* and the Dark Green (#195) is the color of my eyes. I had given up trying to find it until I googled it and it came up on Metrobeauty.com. I am stocking up!
