Grand offense: Fleeting. "I was disappointed ... it fades quickly and smudges when touched. There are much better eyeliners out there and I would not recommend this product to a friend." -- Elisemarie, TotalBeauty.com member

Grand offense: Iffy quality. "So expensive and so disappointing. Difficult application: Dries too fast and the texture is too thick. The brush is not refined enough." -- GoyaLL, TotalBeauty.com member
"I was very disappointed that my eyes would turn red every time I used this. I have used liquid eyeliners of all brands but never had this effect before." -- HannaNYC, TotalBeauty.com member

Grand offense: Smudges. "While this eye liner goes on well, it tends to be a tad heavy and smudges. The color was good, but I needed to set it with powder or it would smudge, even with the lightest application." -- Sherryjbry, TotalBeauty.com member

Grand offense: Flaky. "I use liquid liner every day and I have tried a lot of brands, but this one is the worst. As soon as it dried, it started to flake off in big chunks. Don't waste your money." -- cosmo12181, TotalBeauty.com member

Grand offense: Not sweatproof. "It says it lasts up to 16 hours. I had it on for a half an hour and as soon as I broke a small sweat, it was all under my eyes. I didn't line the bottom but it ended it up there." -- stephlewski, TotalBeauty.com member
