This pencil is indeed a contradiction, as noted before. It must be melted slightly before applying or it simply does not go on properly. Then of course it must be sharpened again so it's a lot of work to use. However, the end results justify the means. It looks dazzlingly good when applied right - better than any other pencil I have used. It does smudge, but my skin is oily so that increases that tendency. Well worth the bother - it is just a great look.

I really hate this stuff. I was expecting so much out of it considering anytime I've asked what eye liner was the best, this was the answer I got. But it is TERRIBLE.. I gave it to my little sister, don't waste your money.

I never wear eyeliner on my waterline, so I can't comment on that, but I did use this on my top lash line and it smudges so much. In about 2 or something hours I had raccoon eyes. While I do like how it goes on smooth, I can't say the same about long lasting. My skin is a bit oily, so that's probably the reason, but the silver and white ones could be used to brighten eyes and it wouldn't matter if it smudged.

Well the fact that it stays on all day and looks really dark is cool....but it smudges to easily for me and id just rather get a eyeliner that don't smudge or come off with water...next up!..the maybelline unstoppable eyeliner :D.

Love this so much!! It looks like Im wearing liquid eyeliner! Very nice lines! And stays long too!

Love it. Replaced my MAC pencil

It's a great pencil to use. The consistency is nice and easy to use, very smooth.

LOVE THIS PENCIL !!! It's perfect for lining the inner lids. Of course, there is a trick to using soft pencils.... You must first - very quickly - run the tip through a lighter/match flame, wait a moment, then apply to inner lids. This will set the pencil all day. If you're looking to rim your inner eyelids with a smooth creamy line, THIS IS THE PENCIL FOR YOU.

Blends well. Easy to use.

Soft enough not to pull, thin enough not to look absurd. It does transfer easily from lid to undereye, but it's also hard to take off completely. A pencil of contradictions. For someone really skilled with eyeliner pencils this should be a good buy. For someone clumsy like me, it's not forgiving enough.
