LAURA GELLER NEW YORK Kajal Longwear Kohl Eyeliner Pencil with Caffeine, Smooth & Blendable Makeup, Dark Brown

I'm in my mid 60's and retired. I am olive skinned with a salt & pepper short pixie cut.I don't wear much makeup but I do feel like I need to do a little every morning - - if not for any other reason but that it just makes me feel a little more put together - - - even if I am just running out the the market.I don't do much and definitely don't spend a lot of time - - - some sunscreen moisturizer, a bit of liner, mascara, blush and lip gloss every morning.I just tried this eyeliner pencil in the deep charcoal and I love it.I will say that the first time I applied it, I was shocked at how dark it was. I got the dark charcoal and it looked jet black. The main reason for this is that I was used to using a regular pencil as a liner and didn't realize how soft and silky this Laura Geller pencil was. Using the same pressure with this that I used to use with a normal pencil caused the over application.I wiped it off and tried again using a much lighter touch. Perfect.I will say that although this is a soft pencil and not a liquid liner, it does seem to dry and set after a bit. If I line one eye, line the other one then go back to smudge the first one, the liner doesn't smudge very easily as it seems to have set and doesn't allow for very easy smudging or blending. I've developed a new routine now and I line one eye then smudge that one before going onto the other.I tried using both my finger and a stiff brush to blend. I personally prefer using the stiff brush because it gives me a little more control, but either blending method work well. I've actually started swiping the brush across the tip of this pencil, then applying it directly using the brush itself.I guess in a way, the fact that this liner seems to "set" is a good thing because even my light application lasts all day long without melting away or fading.I haven't tested it's actual waterproof-ness by going for a swim yet, but it does seem to stay put even after a run and a workout.I'm going to order another one in a shade of brown too.I am using this in San Francisco where the weather is cool. We spend half the year in Hawaii though, and though it takes an even lighter hand when applying (because the warm weather makes the pencil even softer) I'm happy to report that they hold up in that warmer and more humid climate just as well.

I really like this eyeliner. It's nice and soft, not dry, and goes on smoothly. I like the color. A soft, grayish purple.

I love the color and the ease in which it slides on, but not the fact that somehow during the day it ends under my eye with a shadow. I have ordered from this company before and have been very pleased with the quality. I am a little disappointed in this shadow.

This is my favorite eyeliner! It lasts all day and is a beautiful shade of dark brown. Great value and quality, it is definitely water proof since it stays all day. It has never irritated my eyes and it is a nice travel size.

Great color!!! Stays on until I am ready to remove. Easy to apply. Smudge resistant. Buying more in other colors.

Really nice color, lasts foreverWhat i don't like is that it is so soft that it breaks very easily. Very hard to wash off. Need to use makeup remover and still hard to remove. Sharpener is useless. Will not buy again because too expensive for the little I can use it

This is so easy to put on. It looks fantastic on an older lady like myself at 70. No more dreading to put on eyeliner. I bought several to have on hand.

Wow, this eyeliner is fantastic! I love it! It is waterproof and stays in place all day. I love the color, very dark brown. It’s smooth and creamy, glides well.
