I have been using this product pretty much since the day I was born. I haven't strayed because I feel there is no need to. It is rare that I find a product I completely love, but I have with this...

It's alright. Not really a black black. More soft, I guess that's where the velvet comes in. It lasts really well though.

This is really scratchy going on so it makes it very difficult to draw a decent line. The colors are much lighter after an hour or so. The black is more of a grey. The brown is more of a tan once...

Everytime I use this it feels like I'm scratching my eyelids with something sharp. There are so many black eyeliners out there that this one isn't worth the pain.

I use this eyeliner for my eyebrows. What I like about this eyeliner is that it lasts a long time. It stays in place and it doesn't smudge. This eyeliner has really good staying power, almost too...

I love this eyeliner, I've always used it and always probably will. Ever since I've started using make-up my mom taught me how to light the end a little bit to help make it stay on. I use it on my...

I always have this nearby :) It smudges a tad, but that's a quick fix.

A staple in my makeup bag. I think this is one of the first eyeliner pencils I've ever tried and I make sure to always have one on hand when I'm in between the others I use or if I don't have time...

A makeup staple for me. Over the years, I've tried other eyeliner pencils, and I'm sure I'll continue to experiment with new products in the future. But this is my 'old faithful' that I can...

This product is a good basic, everyday eye pencil. I use it in this color almost everyday on the top lids. I should try heating it before using it as many reviewers have advised if that'll help...

I've been using this product for years in velvet black and dark brown. I use it for my eyebrows (brown) and velvet black for upper lid. It goes on smoothly. I found that if I use translucent powder...

I love this eyeliner. Unlike other pencil eyeliners this one doesn't tug on your eyes. In fact I've found that it works better than Estee Lauder or other more expensive brand eyeliners. The color...

This stuff is okay. I mean, I wear it all the time b/c it's cheap - but it does smudge off pretty quickly if I do say so. Still, it goes on evenly and smoothly (doesn't tug) and it looks great...

I've used this product for years, but I use it in a slightly different way. Rather than using it on my lids or under my eyes, I use it to rim the inside of my lids. Gives your eyes a very...

The price is good but this liner flaked off on me. The tip frequently broke off as well. Would not repurchase:(

I love liquid black eyeliner but I was not at all impressed but this one. The color is very dull for "velevet black." It tends to be watery too. It goes on even enough and with ease but it just...
