Kat Von D Ink Liner - Trooper - Ultra Black

Favorite eye liner. I don’t wear foundation or powder ever. Only eye liner and I fill my eye brows. I normally use grocery store eye liner but after my sister gifted me this brand one year I can’t buy anything else. 1 pen lasts me almost a whole year. I swim and sleep in it and it stays on. It goes on dark and smooth. Also it’s cruelty free!

Best eyeliner ever. Stays on all day (although I will admit that when I do a cat eye it comes off but I think that's because I absentmindedly rub that part off...). I used to end up with a black line in the middle of my eyelid with other eyeliners as my eyes kind of open real wide but this eyeliner doesn't do that. I've had it for a few months too and it hasn't dried out or faded.*Edit!! I thought it had dried out today and I was very disappointed. Turns out I just needed to get the tip with some makeup remover to clean it and then it was fine. Make sure to do this every once in a while.

The reason I wanted to try this eyeliner is because I am getting married soon, and I have not found an eyeliner that will actually stay put on my face. (Why I care so littler during my normal life, I don't know!) My normal go-to is a waterproof self-sharpening pencil from the drug store, but by the end of the day, it always ends up under my eyes, so I resort to wiping my fingers under my eyes every couple hours to maintain.I read about this eyeliner from some blog about wedding makeup, and, although I have failed in the past with liquid eyeliner, I gave this a shot. I have tried the drugstore brands and just could not figure it out - I had ugly lines, more seemed to end up on my eyelashes than eyelid, and the finish seemed like it had a shiny appearance. This eyeliner is NOTHING like the drugstore brands I tried. The tip is like a marker, but with a perfect shape and point. It looks as black as a the self-sharpening ones I've used, but IT ACTUALLY STAYS IN PLACE! I will say a little tiny bit of a smudge appeared after a 14 hour day with 2 hours of sweating. But when I use an eye primer (Wet and Wild is cheap and works SO WELL), this stuff doesn't budge. I was hungover and lazy last weekend and was able to wake up and leave the house with this stuff still in place from the day before!One of the pointers I saw in a video was to turn this on its side and use the side of the eyeliner to line along your lashes. That is working really well for me and keeps the line really close to the lash line. I barely use the actual tip of this liner unless it is to fill in or to experiment with a cat eye.I plan on this being the only eyeliner I use again! Pricey, but I feel its worth it!

Why did it take 49 years to find the perfect eyeliner!! For starters I suck at putting eyeliner on so I normally would only use it when I went out socially. I’d have to bring Qtips with me to constantly clean under my eyes and wipe away at the smudges at the corners. This eyeliner is amazing! I’m still not the greatest at applying it but this goes on so smooth and precise that it’s almost perfect. It doesn’t smudge or melt like any other eyeliner I have used. I keep waiting to pull the Qtip out but I haven’t had to. I wear it everyday! Sooooo happy!

Overall, I like this eyeliner compared to others however it is frustrating that it dries out so quickly and then it takes a while to start up again. I don’t think I’m that slow at applying eyeliner, but especially after using a freshly opened one for a couple of weeks it starts getting dry and I can barely get one eye done before I have to put the cap back on and stand it upright until it will start again. Having said that I still keep buying it, but I really wish I could get more of my money’s worth by it not drying out so quickly. I would enjoy the product a lot more if they could fix that. Anyway, thanks Kat for making me become so much quicker at putting my eyeliner on.

This eyeliner lasts a long time. It's recommended to replace liquid eye products every 3 months and this eyeliner still works well at the 3 month mark. It stays on all day. This product is well worth the cost.

This eyeliner is wild. I kept buying random big name brands of eyeliner thinking one of them had to be good and not smear and smudge after 1-2 hours. A friend recommended this line to me and I am never going back. I wore this for a full work day and it didnt budge. On top of that, I went on an almost THREE MILE RUN, too lazy to take it off before, and it was still perfect afterwards! If you're looking for a lasting liner, look no further.

I have been on a quest to find a liquid black eyeliner that went on smoothly and didn’t smudge. This is the one. I received a sample in some subscription box and immediately loved how easy it was to apply. The brush tip is tight and allows for precise application of this very black liner. It lasts all day without reapplication and doesn’t leave me looking like a raccoon.One note: the brush does tend to become a bit worn after a while. In that case, I simply apply the liquid to another brush and apply that way. It’s worth the trouble.
