I totally agree with the reviewer who said this liner lasts 3 weeks -- that's exactly how long mine lasted too! I used it for tightlining, and it's very easy to push the liner into the lashline,...

Oof! I used this today and when I looked at my face when I came home early evening, I was Alice Cooper. Granted, it was snowing a little bit. But I didn't think that this eyeliner would just slide...

I love this eyeliner formula. It always looks perfect and it's super easy to apply. That being said, I will not be repurchasing this and I can't recommend it. I ran out after about 3 weeks of use,...

This draws the most perfect thin, buildable deep black line. However, it disappears off my waterline and lid (and even with a primer) in no time. As others have said, you get a tiny amount of...

This is the blackest, slimmest gel eyeliner I've ever used. It makes every other liner I've used look grey. It's so slim that I can tightline easily and stays soft just long enough to smudge it...

This is my favourite eyeliner, its perfect for the waterline and for smoking out on the lash line. it goes on easily and smoothly. It lasts all day, minimal transfer and usually eyeliner smudges...

Not sure when Hourglass released the Canyon (black-brown) and Ocean Floor (navy) colors of this pencil, but I'm so glad they did! For an everyday "natural" look, I prefer to use a dark brown...

I wanted to like this. I love how thin it is and it stops there. The liner smudges - even with eye primer and I don't even have oily eyelids. I use it in my upper water line and a few hours...

THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. I am a raccoon eyed queen by the end of the day. I glide this onto my waterline and tightline with it and it does NOT budge. If you haven't tried this, you want to go to your...

Edited 11/30/16: Did they change the formula of this? Suddenly is is awful for me, not sure what changed. It barely shows up on my waterline now. I don't know what happened... I'm obsessed...

If you want the best gel eyeliner for regular lining or tight lining, look no further! I spent years trying out eyeliners, they all seem to smudge on my oily kids even with an eyeshadow...

I spent half an hour in Sephora looking for a thin gel liner that won't smudge, and after I tested about 8-10, I finally picked this Hourglass 1.5MM mechanical gel eye liner in obsidian. It's...

This liner has the tiniest tip and is perfect for tightlining your upper lash/water line. That is why I purchased this liner. I like it. It lasts all day for me. It fulfilled its purpose. It...

I bought this because the tip was so thin. It looked like liquid application once aplpied and has a deep deep black colour. I ended up returning it though because Once I got home and used it I...

I bought it because of the thinness - I thought it would be great for applying a thinner more precise line. It is soft to apply. However - and this is an eyeliner SIN - it smeared and smudged...

I've been trying this for a few days and really like it. I decided to try it based on the recommendation of one of my favorite youtubers, makeupmlc, and the fact that a single one was only $16. I...

As soon as I heard Wayne Goss rave about this and why, I ordered it. Sephora only had the singles, as the 3-pack was not in stock, so I went ahead. It's very pigmented, glides on smoothly, is...

1. This is a very slim liner and is v precise. 2. Liner lasts better than the long lasting Bobbi Brown gel liner. 3. It lasted a long time in the water line but also smudged under the eye after...
