I had been using gel liner for a while, but I started to worry about it smudging, so I decided to try liquid. This one draws thin lines smoothly and feels great. At my age, black liner is recommended to keep the eyes sharp, but I was worried that using black liner would make my face look harsh, so I was hesitant to go for it. This brown-black has a soft feel that I like. It's a nuanced color, isn't it? I don't know how it will look in the summer when I sweat a lot, but since it's winter, the line lasts well.
