This eyeliner is just a basic good 'ol eyeliner. I bought #03 Purple, and it covers the basics of eyeliner. ...Great Liner for Beginners...The twist-up made it easier by eliminating the need to sharpen, and the smudging end was very useful for shaky beginner hands. It was also very waterproof, as I have watery eyes, and it held up on both my eyelids and waterline.

What Else You Need to Know: Liner pencil never skips or tugs at eyelids. Use smudge tip to blend the "set and stay" formula for a perfect smoky eye. Or for an ultra-precise line, apply with freshly sharpened tip. Long-lasting wear. Variety of classic and fun colors and finishes from matte to shimmer to glitter.

love the shade but this is mostly overhyped by tiktok I like this and it’s cute and the tingling feeling from plumping is ok but it’s nothing special it’s basic and u can get better for cheaper & it doesn’t last all day so you will have to reapply that’s why I hate that you can’t twist it up and down it leaves it looking lumpy after a few uses it’s bound to waste some product for over twenty dollars the design should be better won’t repurchase....Perfect for everyday if you like a glowy makeup look - I can’t wait to buy more shades!
