My favorite pencil liner
teshie (396 reviews)

I usually use liquid eyeliner, but when I'm in a hurry or don't want too fine a line, I reach for this. It glides on like silk, leaving a bold, even stroke of color that lasts all day. Still, I really don't like spending $12 on a pencil, and this one isn't self-sharpening, so it doesn't last long. — 3 years, 6 months ago

Eh...
RavenLoudspeakr (270 reviews)

This pencil sure is pretty LOL. From the frosted cap to the really nice wood body, you can automatically tell this pencil isn't from a convenient store. It's typical price for Aveda, and has a really nice rose scent. I have this in navy, and it sharpens easily without breaking and draws a nice creamy line without tugging my eye area. However, it might just be my oily skin or something but it smudges like crazy! The pencil itself lasts a long time because you don't need to really rub it in for the color but the product on my face doesn't last. Stars off! — 2 years, 4 months ago

smooth, but no staying power.
TheEllster (16 reviews)

I really appreciate the eco-friendly design of this pencil, and it does go on very smoothly and true in color. However, it smudges easily (only a good thing if you're going for that!) and fades quickly. I will look for another eyeliner when this runs out. — 3 years ago

not the best
skywalker (103 reviews)

For me the eyeliner flaked and smudged and was not lasting. I like the Aveda line, but this liner fell short. — 3 years, 6 months ago

It's a Pencil - It Works!!
Schell (8 reviews)

I had not used a pencil eyeliner for over 10 years, but my hairdresser told me Aveda's makeup had certainly been improved on over the last 10 years, so I bit. And I must say I am happy, happy. It is soft so it doesn't pull and is easy to put on. I find the trick is to lay the pencil at lash line and gently sweep from the inside to outer corner, and presto, it's on, it's done, it looks nice, ready to walk out the door. And yes, I like the eco-friendly aspect. — 3 years, 9 months ago

Aveda Petal Essence Eye Definer
Msgulfkat (10 reviews)

It's very difficult to find a pencil that will work for both brow and eye, but this one works wonders. The color palette worked well with my very pale skin and dark eyes. — 4 years ago

One of my least favorite Aveda products.
CantDeleteMyProfile (7 reviews)

I am a huge fan of Aveda prodcuts, but the Petal Essence Eye Definer is at the bottom of my list. While I like the variety of colors they offer, the pencil just does not last. It smudges way too easily, for one thing. If you use it on your top lid, you are guaranteed to have that little half-moon of liner pressed onto your upper lid. Even if I do not line my lower lash line, I still get a ton of smudging under my eye. I am hardly a make-up newbie, and I haven't found a single application technique that will prevent this from going everywhere. Secondly, even if I get the pencil to stay somewhere where it's supposed to be, the color does not last but for a couple of hours. I find myself having to reapply it frequently. Yikes! If you are searching for an eye pencil that gives you a long-lasting, stay-in-place look, then skip this product. — 4 years ago

Not my cup of tea
KFoxalicious (65 reviews)

I didn't like this eyeliner one bit. It doesn't go on smoothly and it doesn't really give that bold of a color. It also has a tendency to smudge very easily and doesn't stay on that long. — 4 years, 1 month ago
