I am not that person who touches up makeup during the day and this stays on till I remove it with makeup remover. ...However, the product only lasted about 1-2 months (with me only wearing makeup 2-3 days a week max working from home right now) and to me it's not economically wise to spend $32 a month on eyeliner.
