I have watery and oily eyes mainly in the outer corner which makes it hard for me to wear winged eyeliner. This is the only eyeliner I have used that has not smudged or transferred! All other eyeliners smudge in the outer and inner corners... This has a very long lasting power and also is very waterproof but comes off easy with makeup remover :)

The applicator is very nice and easy to use. But it comes off soooo easy. You can literally wash it off with water. So if you have watery eyes or cried your eyes out watching movies, then you'll probably end up with really uneven, smeared/washed-off, racoon eyes

not recommended :/

I've used this eyeliner for a long time now. I wear eyeliner on my top lid on a daily basis & love the pigmentation. I do find it stays alot better with an eyelid primer- as my lids are hooded therefore had a tendency to transfer above the lid- but using a primer stops this. Wish the liner lasted a bit longer- can dry out after awhile but I find storing it lid side down lasts longer. Would definitely repurchase- haven't found one as good in stores that's as cheap.

I purchased this last year during Sephora's friends and family sale after watching several youtube reviews and was pretty disappointed. I have oily eyelids but this started smudging less than an hour after I applied it. I've tried other similar pen liners including Lancome Artliner and Stila Stay All Day Waterproof eyeliner pen and haven't experienced this level of smudging. Ended up returning it because it just wasn't working out. I gave it 2 l iippies since it was application was really easy and because it may work better for someone with less oily lids. Still, I would say to just spend a few extra bucks to get something better or even try drugstore pen liners as I think almost everything would be better than this.

Not impressed. I heard a lot of great things about this liner from different reviews but sadly it did not live up to the hype. I have been using gel eyeliner for about two years now but I am still having issues with doing cat eyes so I thought I would try out this liquid liner. The good: the color is nice and very black, the pen is easy to hold and it's cheaper than most gel liners. The bad: The tip is just too long and stiff, not flexibility at all. The color smudges and doesn't last as long as a gel liner, granted I do have oily lids but I always use a primer. It does not flow very smoothly so it can be a hassle trying to get a even line and working with the tip can be awkward. All in all you would be better off buying a drugstore liquid, like Loreal's Lineur intense, for much cheaper and the same results. Not a terrible liner but not a great one either.

Pros:
- great pigmentation
- easy to use in pen form
- comes in variety of different colours
- easy to remove with makeup remover
- great beginner liner to work on the wing
- great packaging

Cons:
- expensive
- not waterproof - will run with water

I got this in a Birchbox awhile back and finally got around to testing it out. Must say that I am loving it. Love how easy it is to use for everyday where I don't have to think about it. With packaging and the pen, it takes no time for me to do my wing eyeliner. Its exactly like a felt tip marker with perfect firmness to apply your eyeliner. i find that you can simply turn the pen on its side and dab on your eye lid if you have not perfected your eyeliner technique. Only downfall is that it is expensive.

This is, without a doubt, the greatest eyeliner I have ever use. I suck at using liquid liners of any kind, but this stuff is gold. The color is great, I can apply it with ease, and I can do an awesome winged look with it. I took off one lippie because it dries out pretty quickly, but I doubt I ever go back to anything else. I will only be using another product for the bottom waterline. If liquid liners/pens/gels/creams are hard for you, this is absolutely fool-proof. Try it out!

For so long I was looking for the perfect black eyeliner and when I found this product I found everything I was looking for, The color is great the tip of the liner is just perfect and I love how unlike most liquid eyeliners it's not very wet and it doesn't mess up your makeup, I just love this product!

This stuff was pretty good! It was highly pigmented, lasted all day but came off easily with makeup remover, and the pen tip made it easy to do winged liner with. However, I found this dries out very quickly, which put me off after having to throw it away a few weeks after I got it. Because of that, I won't be buying this product again.

i'm actually quite torn about this product. i have a love-hate relationship with it. i would give it a 3.5 rating if it were possible. let me list out the pros and cons of this liner first.

PROs:
~ inky black colour
~ waterproof and longwearing (no smudging or fading)
~ easy to remove (with makeup remover of course)

CONs
~ not very smooth application
~ cap is a little hard to remove (not sure if it's just mine)

now to actually talk about my experience with this liner. this is the first liquid liner that is truly smudgeproof and fadeproof on me AND easy to remove. i've tried Lancome's Artliner and L'Oreal's Lineur Intense (or Super Liner in some countries), and while quite good, would always smudge and/or fade at the outer corners of my eyes, even with eyeshadow primer. GOSH's Art Liner and MAC's Liquid Last both have amazing staying power, but take forever to remove (well, i did say they both have AMAZING staying power), even with waterproof eye makeup remover. my HG liquid liners, Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner and Koji Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner, don't smudge (or flake) on me, but the outer corners (or my 'wings') always fade ~ they simply disappear! not with the Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner. with the Skinny Eyeliner, my 'wings' stay. this is the first liquid liner that doesn't budge, smudge, or fade on me, yet is easy to remove. no rubbing or tugging. just a gentle press, wait (about 30 seconds), and swipe of waterproof eye makeup remover (Walmart's dual phase one is pretty good) or a gentle massage of cleansing oil and rinse, and gone. for that, i love it!

however, i find the application to be patchy at times, and the overall application is not really smooth. for example, if i happen to miss a spot, for some reason if i try to go over that spot, it ends up scraping away some of the already applied liner and doesn't apply any fresh liquid, even though the sponge is saturated like a previous reviewer said. that, i do not like. i end up having to go over the liner again with my Heroine Make or my Dolly Wink liner.

for now, i probably will repurchase this, because i like that it has staying power but still easy to remove, but yeah, i'm still really on the fence with this product.

I got the liner in the skinny mini set along with the mascara, and it was on sale, so I didn't pay full price for the thing. I'm surprised at some of the reviews stating it's not a deep black, because mine is a true deep black, and I always have issues with black liners on my brown skin and slightly discolored eyelids. And that's really the only thing I like about the liner, the color. It is otherwise a miserable pen style liner. The tip is very stiff and is not flexible at all, which makes me feel like I am drawing on the liner with a marker. Something about the texture of the felt tip causes it to drag on the skin, even when it's saturated with product, so application isn't smooth. The stiffness of the tip (ahahah, I'm twelve years old) is good if you like to tightline with liquid liner, but tightlining is probably a bad idea, because it smudges after 3-4 hours of use. I do have oily lids, so that's usually a concern for me anyway. I had significant smudging on my lower lid after an 8-hour workday. Won't be repurchasing.

Overrated--Not that great

I heard great things about this liquid eyeliner on youtube. Unfortunately its just not as black and sharp as people said it was. The liner is grey and watered down, and only comes out black and sharp if you apply a lot of pressure. It has a sponge tip applicator and it just doesn't deliver a very black line at all. I prefer Stila all-day liquid liner for now, it is way blacker and more precise. I am still looking for a HG. Will try Dollywink next.

Out of my massive arsenal of eye liners THIS is the BEST eye liner hands down. It is so easy to make a precise cat eye for me (goofproof for me but I am a pro at creating cat eye with all sorts of liner styles so ymmv). The color is a true deep black and really stays true for hours and hours. Its the blackest eye liner I have! It truly is smudgeproof. Although I am not a big fan of this type of marker/pen liner because they do tend to dry up quickly I would buy this often because of the outstanding formula and color. So far I have gotten 7 good uses out of my pen which to me is impressive after using several drugstore brands which dried up after the 1st use. $16 on birchbox website which isnt too bad of a price.

I'm surprised at how low the ratings are. I think this is an awesome liner.
I use Nars Pro Prime eye shadow base so there is minimal smudging and stays on all day. When I don't use the pro prime, then the liner starts fading at hour five. It doesn't smudge though. It just fades a little on the outer corner.
I just love how easy it is to apply this thing. The felt tip allows me to be super precise. Since my eyelids aren't very big, I like to make a very thin line on the top. This allows me to do that.

Love how easily the liquid comes out for this pen, the shape of the tip is easy to work with, and it's super black.
However, the liner doesn't last all that long. I got significant smudging within 3 hours.

I have hooded lids, so my requirement for a good eye liner, that it has to dry fast, must be smudgeproof and budge proof so as to withstand the friction involved in hooded eyes and, it has to be jet black and doesnt disintegrate on my oily lids.


For the most part, this ticked off most of the criterion above...its jet black, easy to apply, the tip is not too stiff nor too flimsy, just enough pliability..fast drying, and smudgeproof for at least 5 hours wear. This however disintegrates after 5 hours due to my oily lids. Overall a pretty decent liner, i have yet to find a liner that would not disintegrate on my lids..., but too expensive to buy again when most drugstore liners do just a similar job...repurchase? Nope

The only thing I liked about this eyeliner is that it was easy to use, no problems with application. But it wasn't pigmented enough, another one of those not-quite-black eyeliners. And it also smudged up my upper lids after a few hours. I just didn't like it, would not repurchase.

I got this eyeliner from I believe the Birchbox. Honestly, I was a little excited since it said smudgeproof. I was disappointed it wasn't waterproof but it didn't bother me too much. The first time I used it, I used it for my top lids. Later after a few hours into the day, I noticed it smudge off. I was very disappointed that it said "smudgeproof" when in fact, it was not. I don't know if it's because I didn't make thick lines but regardless, it should be smudgeproof. I will probably update this review later in the future to note any changes.

I bought this product around Christmas because I saw the reviews of some makeup guru on Youtube... What a disapointement, I paid 20$ for an eyeliner that doesnt even work. The eyeliner is too dry, theres no product coming from the tip. You can't even wing your eyeliner because of it or draw a precise line (too dry). I should have bought a DS produit instead!

Got the Skinny Liquid Eyeliner Pen as a full-sized free sample, thanks to my loosebutton subscription. Anyway, This liquid pen is so and so for an eyeliner pen. The staying power is okay, but not as good as Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner or Stila's Stay All day Liner. It's supposed to last long but I apparently started getting smudges on my undereyes and the sides of my eyes by the end of the afternoon. I've got oily eyelids so this was a disappointment for me. I received this eyeliner in black, the color isn't as black as I want it to be and the pen tip is a bit fat compared to Stila's and Kat Von D's eyeliner pens. I got a lot of use from it for around 2 1/2 months until it started to dry out on me and the pen tip kind of lost its precision tip. So my verdict on this product...If you're thinking of buying this from Sephora, I suggest you spend the extra $5 to $10 and go for either Stila or Kat Von D. I'm glad I got this as a free sample just because I knew if I paid money for this, I'd be returning it and exchanging it for a different brand.
