Please don’t listen to the negative reviews because this space cowboy eyeliner is wonderful! The only issues is yes it doesn’t 100% look like it does on the models (it’s more orange as described but if you look at space cowboy the eyeshadow it is more orange in person so I’m not sure what others issue with that is) & the formula isn’t as creamy as other eyeliners. ...Compared to all of my other UD eyeliners this is usable but lower quality.
