PROS/CONS WHAT these OLDER LIDS have been LOOKING FOR!
PROS:
COLOR/PIGMENT - I am in my late sixties and still like DARK eyeliner, but not harsh. THAT'S difficult to find.
What I LOVE about this eyeliner is that I can SMUDGE it when I first put it on (and I just do a thin line and just on UPPER eyelid). It's dark, but not harsh looking.
STAYING POWER - For my upper lid, this works just fine. No raccoon eyes. But then I don't use a ton and I intentionally smudge it. I CANNOT speak for how it would be on the undereye along the water line.
GLIDING POWER! - THIS WAS HUGE FOR ME. Having lids getting close to seven decades old, there is some wrinkling and they're just more sensitive. I had a pencil that was supposed to be really easy and supposed to glide on, NOT SO MUCH. This goes on as smoothly as I can expect from a pencil. (and I STILL like pencils for ease in putting on and staying power over liquids or gels)
COST - IF you have priced eyeliner lately, NOT inexpensive and if you look at reviews as I DO, you can see where often three times more in price doesn't mean it's any better! This gives me WHAT I want for a great price.
CONS: I have a steady hand and having been using eyeliner for decades, so don't have a problem. IF your lids are really wrinkled, your skin really thin/sensitive, your hand not overly steady, I would suggest a powder. I have used this on occasion, more to lightly touch up brows, but it's GENTLE. HARD to draw a thin line though. L'Oréal Paris Infallible Smokissime Powder Eyeliner Pen .
