Milani Stay Put Matte 17HR Liquid Eyeliner - Black Matte (0.09 Fl. Oz.) Vegan, Cruelty-Free Liquid Eyeliner - Line & Define Eyes with High Pigment Shades for Long-Lasting Wear

I used to use liquid eyeliner forever ago, then changed my look for some time and switched to pen liquid eyeliners simply for the ease of use and the super occasional eyeliner ... fast forward to today, I've been wanting to go back to the cat eye look with sharper lines and edges as I got tired from crayons drying out, dull lines, not opaque enough, etc... boy did I forget the power of the liquid eyeliner and its general existence. I got this one due to the good reviews, for the super black opaque and matte look that falls within my budget. It isn't waterproof and it smudges/wipes away if you physically wipe it with your finger (I don't really touch my face or eyes, so not an issue) but it stays put all day until I take it off, so in reality it doesn't smudge on its own at all. Personally, I understand the need for waterproof makeup but I have sensitive skin and the products needed to remove such makeup are too harsh so I prefer stuff that I can take off easily with regular old water and some cleanser. Also because of sensitive skin, this product does sting a tiny bit when applied at first closer to the edge of my eye, but it's only for a few seconds and I don't seem to have adverse effects overall.I had to practice a few times and still don't get the lines quite perfectly but for the price and what I get, it's such a step up from the products I have been using so far.

I got tired of using the pencil liners, as they could not deliver a thin, fine line, no matter what the advertising claimed. I picked this up at the grocery store about five or six years ago on a whim and boy was I pleasantly surprised.The liner tip is micro-fine, and so easy to use. The edge stays sharp and does not get thicker or fatter or even fray at the end the more you use it. I put it on before I swim and my eyes still look good when I get out of the water. I really like that the fact that it is made in Germany. I think this is a quality product.

I have only used this eyeliner once, but I think it applies very nicely. It glides across my eyes when I am trying to do a winged liner. It has a matte finish so it is not shiny. Would order again!

Love the longevity, it's totally smudge proof after it dries, nice deep black color, honestly the formula is on point. My only complaint is the tip on the applicator is pretty thick so getting a sharp wing or thin line can be a little difficult, but after playing with it a bit I got the perfect winged liner I wanted. Overall I recommend, especially if you have an old liner brush you prefer to use with it.

I’ve been using this liner for a couple weeks now, and overall it’s a good option if you want a bold, matte black line that actually stays put. The color is deep and rich, not watery or faded, and it really does last, I’ve worn it for long days and it held up through humidity, a few eye rubs, and even a light misting of rain.It does dry quickly, which is great for avoiding smudges, but it also means you don’t have a ton of time to fix mistakes. The applicator is on the stiffer side, so it took me a couple tries to get used to it, especially for winged liner. But once I got the feel for it, it applied cleanly.It doesn’t flake or run, and I didn’t have any irritation or smudging by the end of the day. Definitely waterproof and long-wearing, just as described. For the price, it’s a solid choice, especially if you’re looking for a vegan, cruelty-free liner that’ll hold up from morning to night.Not the easiest for beginners, but once you get the hang of it, it delivers on what it promises.

Grievances-- Honestly, you don't get a great amount of product for the price.- The applicator is just bad quality. A crooked, very stiff sponge.Positives-- The formula itself is pretty good. It goes on smooth despite the applicator. It stays on all day unless you're rubbing your eyes quite a bit.- Mostly smudge-proof. I did have some breakup in the corner of my eyes after wiping at it with my finger. But it can take a light to moderate amount of friction.- Comes off easily enough with makeup remover. In early-set stages, comes off with water.- The color is a very rich black.

I like the ease of applying the eyeliner. Don’t need a pencil sharpener. It’s always ready to go, I’m very pleased.

I've used this eyeliner for years now and its my favorite. It definitely lasts a long time and I use it even at pool parties and it stay one. It looks so deep and dark and is very easy to put on. I haven't found another eyeliner that I loved more yet.
