I don't usually have too many problems with eyeliners or any eye makeup. At the end of the day when I have this eyeliner on it tends to fall a little.. leaving a slight shadow of eyeliner beneath my eye. ...Super pigmented, glides on very smoothly, only need to use verrrry little, it actually dries after a bit on the eye so unless you rub your eyes haphazardly(which defeats to purpose of wearing eye make-up lol) it stays flawless for roughly 12+ hrs for me....it doesnt clump up and wings are super easy to achieve....best choice I made was to upgrade to this product.
