Editor's Rating & Review
Liquid liner on one end, a shadow-loaded smudge sponge on the other. Neat in concept, but the hard, teardrop tip is difficult to line with smoothly. Retrace your dry line with shadow for smokiness; however, the tip removed chunks of my "indelible," "budgeproof" line. (I filled in gaps with the liner.) If you can get through all that, the combo stays put; but why not save money by topping any liquid liner with eyeshadow from a sponge applicator?

Not my favorite
I typically love Tarte product but this is really not a must have in my opinion. The liquid liner is difficult to use, and ends up looking messy. I do like the shadow part though, and sometimes use that alone.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Pricey, but good if you are going for a natural product.
Tarte is pretty good about having ingredients that aren't worrisome but this is not their best product. The liquid liner does stay put and I have no problem applying; the secret is short strokes. Firstly, I always use a primer so results may be different without it. Secondly, I'm pretty confident in liquid liners and will admit that even though I get good lines with this applicatior it may be a...read more bit difficult for a first time user of liquid liner. I would not say this is my favorite liquid liner but if you are looking for a paraben-free liner without synthetic dyes this is a good choice. For me the thing that really brings this set down is the matching shadow. You must wait for the liquid to set or else you will end up with a big mess. The application is a bit rough and I end up having to blend with a sponge or eyeshadow brush. Would be good for a smoky eye but I usually end up using a lighter color eyeshadow and using the duo as a way to emphasize parts of my eye, blending with the lighter color. Works out really nice. Overall, because of the price, I would only really recommend this to people who are worried about parabens or are looking for products with natural ingredients.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
