It works well for both thin and bold lines. Perfect for daily makeup. Overall, a great product!...I bought this as a freckle pen , as that I love it it’s super pretty and the colors works great but as a eyeliner it’s just too transparent. I tried using it as a eyeliner and it’s just not great but if you want something to create really cute freckles then I would 100% recommend this one.

A liquid eyeliner pen, with a precision brush tip, that wears strong all day long.

This is perfect for those no makeup, makeup days...Pricey "No Makeup" Makeup...Given the application, formulation and overall effect, this definitely falls into the "no makeup" makeup category. That would be OK if this was a $35 product, but it's not worth $48 when CoverFX's Enhance Click or Becca's Poured Perfector are equally effective and less expensive.

A cult-covetable backstage secret that delivers the ultimate in runway radiance for a scintillating glow that is truly otherworldly.

What it does:
This transformative highlighting duo glides on effortlessly, imparting a veil of sinfully sublime luminosity. The creamy highlighter reflects and refracts light, creating iconic illumination, while the transparent balm delivers dewy divinity. Formulated with aloe and argan oils, combined with hyaluronic acid, the balm delivers smooth control and softens the skin. Whether used solo or in combination, these two luxurious finishes can satisfy every highlighting desire. Take your glow to the fourth dimension and prepare for a legendary, lit-from-within gleam that is truly aliengelic.
