  Great for smokey eyes, but not perfect...

  by cherrypie (128 reviews)

  Top 100 ReviewerTrusted Review

  The smudge-y, smokey texture and colors offered in this powder liner are great. This product makes it really easy to create a professional-looking smokey eye in no time without having to bother with a lot of products or complicated applicators. I was actually excited to see a budget cosmetics brand produce something that en...ables anyone (even those of us who are all thumbs) to achieve this look so simply. One pretty big drawback to this liner, however, is the clumsy packaging which almost guarantees powder residue on your table, hands, etc. Another is the chubby foam applicator that works for some looks but lacks the ability to give precise definition and also encourages powder residue to collect under your eyes. My tip: be careful when pulling the applicator out of the base and when you apply, lean to the side (the side of the eye you are applying the liner to), with your chin pointed down slightly, and use a handheld mirror-- the residue should fall away from your face. You can also dust translucent powder under your eyes to catch the falling powder and then brush it off afterwards, but this tends to give me a reverse racoon effect. Overall this powder is a great buy for what you can achieve with it, just watch how you apply! May 7, 2008, 2:36 pm

  Not bad but not great either

  by venus_nouveau (6 reviews)

  First off, I love this LE line I have yet to be totally disappointed by one of its products, however this product wasn't one of their better ones. I really dislike this container/application bottle, you pull out the want and the stuff goes everywhere (I feel like you waste a ton just in doing that) then the wand thing has a... really blunt foam applicator that creates serious fall-out upon application. Though the actual khol powder is really lovely. I just wish it wasn't in this type of bottle thing. December 9, 2007, 3:49 pm

  Ugh!

  by Italianbrit125 (4 reviews)

  The second I put on this eyeliner, it went all over my cheek and when I blinked, went right in my eyes. I looked like a goth girl who is trying just a little too hard. But there is a huge difference between "bedroom eyes" and "I'm-ready-to-get-in-a-mosh-at-a-Korn-concert eyes". Overall, I wouldn't... recommend this product to anyone who isn't going for that look. Or if you don't want little black sparkles all over your cheeks and breastbone. April 2, 2008, 9:15 pm

  Like kohl

  by my_thai (2 reviews)

  If you have ever used kohl powder from India or the Middle east, you will like this product. It comes in a package similar to a traditional kohl bottle with the applicator stick built into the cap. It is applied by removing the applicator stick from the bottle, tapping the excess powder off the wand, and then placing the st...ick length ways so it is sandwiched between the upper and lower lids. GENTLY draw the wand out from the inner to the outer corner of the eye, rimming the top and bottom waterline at one time. If you wish, then use an angled brush to apply more loose powder (this is what I do with the excess from the intial tapping off) along the upper and lower lids,next to the lashline. I address the fallout issue by first putting some loose talcum powder on my cheeks so that once the liner is on, I can easily remove the fallout by wiping away the talc with a damp washcloth. only THEN do I apply the rest of my makeup. It takes practice, but once you get the hang of it, its a snap, and wears pretty well, though not as well as real kohl. Unlike real kohl though, this is lead free and much safer to use. The color isn't as dark or long lasting as the real thing, but its the closest I've found yet and I'll definitely purchase more. The price is a bit steep for what you get but if you find it on sale its a deal. I hope they keep this around. December 6, 2007, 12:18 am

  Terrible packaging

  by MichelleF (2 reviews)

  I agree with another review I just read, this stuff goes everywhere! When I do have the time to try and use it, I have to remember not to apply any face makeup first so that when all the particles fall on my cheekbones I can wipe the area with eye makeup remover. Even though I use a piece of paper right under my eye as i'm ...applying it i'll still get some flakes and smudges. It's totally not worth all that effort. May 6, 2008, 12:37 pm

  i definately agree!

  by candyapples17 (143 reviews)

  Top 100 ReviewerTrusted Review

  everyone else said pretty much the same thing and i agree this product is messy and gets allover your face. you can put powder under your eyes for any that falls there but it is kind of a hassle. i havent yet tried what one of the other reviewwers said about lining both upper and lower lash line at the same time but i'll le...t you know how that goes....

  Liner or Shadow?

  by Hoshii (6 reviews)

  The liner has nice colors, but falls all over your face, smears really easily, and is impossible to remove. The brush is so thick it ends up looking like more of a eyeshadow. Also, the powder falls all over the place of application, which means it turns your countertops black. November 27, 2007, 6:04 pm

  Too messy

  by shadymcgrady427 (2 reviews)

  I used this a few times. After pulling the applicator from the container I had more liner on my hands and clothes than I did on my eyes. Also this applicator is (i aggree) too thick. I think if they made it a bit thinner it wouldnt be so bad. But it is really messy May 6, 2008, 12:18 pm

  I agree...

  by dasschick (4 reviews)

  i absolutely love trying new eye p[roducts, but was totally disappointed in this one. it is messy (as many other said) and it doesn't go on very well. i wound up going over the "smudge" that it produced on my eyes with a pencil so i could get to work without being late May 6, 2008, 5:42 am

  is this an eyeshadow or what?

  by corizotti (511 reviews)

  Number One ReviewerTrusted Review

  because you end up with a 'line' thats 1/2 inch across, and little bits of the powder fall onto your cheeks and shirt while you apply it. i cant get used to it, and i can see why i got a bad eyeliner review b/c as eyeshadow its messy, and as an eyeliner its terrible. not worth the $$ May 1, 2008, 10:37 am
