I intended to buy it as a lip liner, but during a touch-up, they used a different color as an eyeliner, and I liked it so much that I bought two colors. I used to prefer liquid eyeliner, but now I'm completely into pencils (actually, I prefer artist color pencils). I have to sharpen it regularly, but that helps me maintain a thin tip, and it creates a beautiful flicked-up line, so it's stress-free. It also applies so smoothly that I think it causes very little friction on the skin. I want to keep using it.
