L'Oreal ParisMakeup Infallible Pro-Last Pencil Eyeliner, Waterproof and Smudge-Resistant, Glides on Easily to Create any Look, Burgundy, 0.042 oz.

TIGHTLINE PROCEDURE: applied, then opened eyes wide with little blinking for 1 minute.COLOR: very nice, deep purple (no sparkle or metallic tinges). The color rivaled but wasn't as rich as Urban Decay 24/7. (But UD smudged on my hooded, extremely oily eyes & disappeared by the end of the day.)NO SMUDGING: woo hoooo! No smudging on top or below eyes throughout the day. Some fading, but not marked. I don't ever re-apply so more than enough color left to make me happy.REMOVAL: with Neutrogena Oil-Free Makeup Remover on a cotton pad, I gently press it on my eyelid & then with the pad, roll my upper lid just ever so slightly & keep the pad on the tightlined area for a few seconds. After, I wait 20-30 seconds, and then swipe several times with the pad again. This removes all or most of the liner. I wouldn't qualify this as an easy to remove liner, but it's easy enough given the all-day wear. Also, for perspective, I do not wear mascara.Lastly, I don't wear contacts so I can't speak to whether this liner would cause irritation.DEFINITELY HG! I'm a relative minimalist with makeup. 5-10 minutes at most with SPF, pressed powder, loose powder, lite blush, eyebrows, & tightline liner. Because of its outstanding color & all-day staying power (into 9-10 pm), it's easily become my HG liner!

You need the separate special sharpener another reviewer had mentioned, solves breakage completely.Nice rich black that is reasonably smear resistant and the best big-brand stick 'kohl' sold in U.S. imo

My favorite eye liner by far. I used to buy the super expensive to keep it from running or smearing thru my work day but this is perfect. Easy to sharpen and lasts a very long time! It comes off as easily as it's put on.

Love this stuff. The only thing to complain is that it goes quickly of you use it often

So when I first bought this eyeliner pencil and it came brand new, nice and sharpened and ready to use, it worked great. It went on smooth, lasted all day, and was smudge proof. However, when it came to be time to sharpen it again, that's where I started having trouble. It would break everytime I tried to sharpen it. So then I ordered the L'Oreal sharpener which is supposedly made just for this eyeliner. But when using it, the pencil continued to break! I also tried putting it in the freezer and then sharpening it....still broke, ugh! So I was about to give up on this eyeliner, even though it went on so nice when it was new. Well I happened to order this: "Makeup Sharpener by Revlon for Eyeliner, Lip Liner, and More! Universal Sharpener for All Wooden & Plastic Pencil Sizes" to use for my lip pencil . When it came I thought, hey, why not give the L'Oreal pencil another try and try sharpening it with this. Yes, it worked, and continues to work! So in the end, (once I found the right sharpener) yes, I love this eyeliner!

My absolute favorite eyeliner. I use it on my water line. It wears comfortably and lasts all day. Also works as an eyebrow pencil. You'll never buy another brand again.

This is literally the best eyeliner I've ever used!! It goes on smooth and easy and stays put all day through sweat swimming and sometimes even showers!! It's very soft to apply. The real shame is when you go to sharpen it it breaks off in chunks like plastic and you can never get a smooth sharpen and wind up wasting tons of eyeliner along the way. They have this in an adjustable tip I would switch to that next time.Update: I followed the advice of some of the other comments and bought a new elf pencil sharpener and it sharpened it with no problem I guess I didn't realize my sharpener had gotten old and dull! However you can never get a sharp point, it just sharpens very poorly and breaks off at times. A real shame because it goes on so nice and stays put all day.

I like the grey color, however trying to sharpen this is a challenge. It breaks off and never gets a good point on it.
