INSANE!!
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't the biggest Stila fan in the past. I'm not a huge fan most of the products. Also, normally in the past I have ALWAYS went against felt-tip liners as well, because they do not go on very well with my eyes and they drag on my skin. This has become one of my favorite eyeliners. First off, this is truly waterproof! I cried like a baby during a movie and this did not run, e...read moreven though my eyeshadow did run (LOL!). Second, this is very smudge proof! I wasn't paying attention and forgot that I was wearing eye makeup, so when I scratched my eye, I remembered about my makeup and panicked-- However, my eyeliner did NOT budge or flake off! You have NO idea how many liners I've used that rub off easily even when they claim that they don't. I work at a Sephora and this usually sells out so fast because we only receive one or two at a time every month or so. So the tester I used was quite old and it was still rich and bold as if it was brand new--not dried out a single bit. Therefore, this has completely redeemed all felt-tip liners in the world because this is an amazing liner. The finish is semi-matte--not too shiny, but not completely matte. I do wish it was more matte though, but it's much more matte than other liners. The tip is AMAZING and firm so you have total control of your pen. The hype is all true with this liner! I definitely will consider ordering other colors from online. Stila has found my attention (try the perfecting concealer--that is divine too!!!)This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 15 of 19 people said helpful

Intense black is great!
I received this in the Intense black in a Sephora sampler set I purchased and was happy with it. I normally don't purchase items that are labelled "waterproof" and was glad to see that I could now try a liner that was. My husband and I were going out and I decided to do a cat eye with this on top of my smokey eye. I had an easy time applying it, it was smooth, and it dried very quickly. It was...read more nice to see that it was a matte finish, as I am used to a shinier finish with my NYX liner. We were out all night, and in the morning, it was still on. I have used a couple Stila products that I have been very happy with and will purchase when I am finished with them, but honestly this is not one of them. It's not that it isn't a great liner that does it's job, I just do not feel $20 is a good price for a good liner. I'd rather keep buying my trusty NYX liquid liner and spend a quarter of the price! :]This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 6 people said helpful

Did not work for me
I have two of these, one in a really pretty cobalt blue and then the basic black. The tip on these is nice. It comes to a very fine point. The major problem I have with these is that the liquid liner does not extend enough to the tip. All the color and product is concentrated at the base of the felt tip pen, so when trying to draw a fine line or point using the tip of the brush, very little pr...read moreoduct is there to work with. It is only at the thicker base of the pen that the liner is dispensed with ease. This makes it so frustrating to work with! Only when I lay the pen on its side can I get any real product out and it comes out messy. I have used several types of liquid liners...brushes and pens and this one had one of the most fatal flaws I have ever seen. The only thing worse would be if it came dried out completely. It couldn't be that my pen just dried out at only the tip, because I experienced this difficulty on my very first use of each. I thought I may have had a dud (I tried the blue liner first) but I experienced the same frustration with the black liner. Other reviewers seems to love this liner from Stila, but I will never purchase these liquid liner from Stila again.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 11 people said helpful
