Great gel eyeliner, but not necessarily better than any of the cheaper gel eyeliners I've bought. I'm yet to see something that sets it apart from the other ones, except it's price. Good product though.

The formula is great, it glides on really well and has good staying power. Very smooth. The only thing I noticed about this eyeliner is that it isn't as black as I would like it to be. It's not as dark black as other gel liners I've tried.

I tried this liner on a whim (like most things I purchase) and I was very happy. It stays on all day (longest I've worn it was 12+ hours) and does not smudge or move. At first I thought it was pricey, but then I realized that the little pot lasts twice as long as one Revlon or Maybelline eyeliner (MAC Fluidline Eye-liner $15, drugstore Eye-Liner ~$8-9) so the price is no longer an issue. Now I'm going to try the other colors.

I'd been using one of MACs liquid liner pens on and off for the past year or so...not completely satisfied with it but not really knowing why. At my friends house I tried this liner and found out why. The brush lets you be so much more in control then a pen does and it also lets you play with the thickness of the line more! I may be the only one, but I just love applying my eyeliner with a brush! It makes me feel so feminine :) This does stay on through out the day and I love the little pot it comes in. I do recommend washing your brush after every use though (I just do it with water...not so inconvenient) because you'll have a pretty grungy make up case if you don't.

Blacktrack is amazing for the first couple months... it's creamy, smooth, applies with ease, and is deeply pigmented, and then a sad sad day comes -- the day you try to put on your eyeliner and then it flakes into your eye, becomes impossible to work with, and looks like total crap. The key to success is just accepting that this day will come and just get a new one when it does. Mine usually lasts about 6 months. I read that if you scoop out a little bit and put it into a sample container and just use that one you can extend the life of the gel liner... It dries out because of the air exposure everytime you open it, so that makes pretty good sense. I prefer the sonia kashuk bent liner brush or the MAC 210. Awesome product -- while it lasts :)

EDIT: I couldn't live with throwing away so much product, so I took a q-tip and scraped off the top layer -- a pretty thick one -- and under it was nice, creamy liner. So try this before you buy a new one.

This eyeliner is very creamy and it glides easily. I have very oily lids but this formula lasts all day!! The black color is very intense so I only use it on night out and prefer a brown color for daytime.

this is my 3rd jar of Blacktrack! it is one of the very best out there. i have used many other black gel liners, but over the years have always always come back to this! it's a staple.
i first want to talk about the staying power. the staying power is hands down the best out of every single gel liner i have tried. it stays amazingly well on the inner rims too. this withstands long hour days and watery eyes! it also doesn't irritate my contact lenses, which some do as they begin to dry a little.
now on to the colour. i really want to state that this is indeed really black, but not liquid liner black (like Bobbi Brown's black). it isn't the blackest black, but i feel like this is deliberate because 1. you can just layer it if that's what you want, 2. it allows you to put this on your lower lashline, 3. it allows you to put it on your inner rims and 4. you can apply this thicker, with a bigger flick and will never ever look harsh. this is the kind of black that it is so that you aren't just limited to wearing it only one way and i personally think this just gives it a lot of dimension.
lastly, this glides on incredibly smooth and creamy.
i would recommend this 100%

Fluidline does not budge all day and I <3 it. It glides on smoothly and is very black. You can wear it softly or boldly which is nice too.

My HG eyeliner, lasts all day, doesn't flake or smudge!
I use this product neally everyday, you may think you don't get alot of product, but one pot lasted me around 6 months. Glides on smoothly and creates a perfect winged look with an angle brush.

Did not like. After reading so many rave reviews about this, I decided to try it. I am loving this is DIPDOWN, so I thought Blacktrack would be just as good. NOPE. It goes on very smooth, but the color pay off is sub par to average. I really only wear BLACK liquid eyeliner as a cateye. This just did not live up to the hype. While easy to apply with a MAC 210 brush (love!!!), the opacity was blah. I had to go over it 3 times to get it really black, and I just felt that was too much work. If you prefer a softer black, than this would work for you, but I prefer JET BLACK. Definite miss for me.

This is the first eye liner I've ever used & bought! Coming from a beginner's point of view, this is really really very easy to use. But the down side is that it smudges onto my lower eye easily even with Mac eye primer. I guess this doesn't work really well on oily skin & on people who perspire a lot. & be sure to keep this pot in a cool place, my pot is currently dried up.

The best. I was searching for an eyeliner that can stay for a day without retouching it. It stays same after all day! I would definitely repurchase after finishing the first bottle.

The color is very black, the texture is super creamy, stays put for a long time, only down side is that it smudges just a tiny bit on my lower lash line.

This gel is way cool! I finally found something that truly stays on all day. I work 10 hour shifts and I am gone 12 hours per day. I come home at night and violà....it is all still there, the same intense as when I first put it on. I do not have oily skin around my eyes, so anyone who feels the liner doesn't stay on all day, may have a bit of oily skin????? Try putting on a base of powder prior. I will definitely buy this product again and will now be tempted to try out different shades too.

I like this gel liner. It is a little expensive (it's $15.00 USD, but I got it for $16.17 after TAX) but I shouldn't complain since it's not a drug store product. All drug store gel liners always smudge on me. But this gel liner doesn't smudge at all! The only problem for me is that it fades throughout the day. Not a lot, but just a tad bit. Not very noticeable, but I'd like the full pigmentation to stay. It also slightly transfers from the top of my eyelid to the bottom, making me look tired. This slightly comes off when you curl your lashes. And if you don't pack the product on your brush, it isn't opaque. Otherwise, you'll find yourself dipping your brush back into the jar fairly often. I probably won't be repurchasing though since I think the Essence gel eyeliner is much better. Stays put longer than this one and doesn't move. If the Essence one ever discontinues, I would go back to this one, definitely.

This is the best of a bad bunch. If you’re in the market for a black gel liner I would say this is the best out there. Unfortunately for me these products tend to smudge like crazy.

TIP: Apply black eye shadow over the top for quick drying and to stop smudging.

I use this product when I have some extra time on my hands as the application process takes a while.

This product on its own smudges by the middle of the day. If you apply a black eye shadow over the top I find the last power is much better. This product appears quiet pigmented in the pot however takes a few coats to build up. Nothing to complain about, when it builds up it is a lovely intense black.

Still on the hunt for a waterproof gel liner that doesn’t smudge but will use this until I can find something better!

Blacktrack left a lot to be desired in my experience. It's not black enough, and is almost dark gray. That forces me to go back over the first stroke, and when I do the second stroke it takes off the first even when I let the first dry before applying again. I know it's not because of the brush I used because I do have other gel liners and they go on very pigmented with the same brush. Wear time was just average and it's not anything to write home about at all. It started running/smudging around hour 5. I need my liners to last longer than that.

I used this with MAC's 266 angled brush. Worked very well. Always got perfect lines and wings. Smooth (but not as smooth as bobbi brown) black and pigmented. Never smudged and I'm anal about transferring products! Best liner I have ever used on my lid. Can't say much for water lines though. Only problem, it dried out fairly quick (compared to other gel liners) but only because I used it on the weekends. If you used this every day or close to it then this is perfect! A seriously recommended product! Oh and make sure you close the lid tighly!

True black liner that is long wearing. Applies easily with a liner brush. Works in the waterline. The packaging works well and prevents the product from drying out.
