It draws a thin line, so it creates a natural look. It sticks to your eyelids immediately after application, so it seems to take a while to dry. BR2 Bitter Brown was almost black. It's a soft black, not brownish, but not completely black either. It feels like a somewhat in-between color. I wish it was a little less dark. I love how the container is blocky and doesn't roll away. It's rare for an eyeliner, but the glossy container gives it a luxurious feel. It's great that you can set refills on both sides. While most Kate products have black containers, I'm not a fan, but this eyeliner was so good I was able to reaffirm the quality of Kate products. I also bought the eyebrow and concealer. I also bought BR3 Warm Brown, thinking it would create a more natural look. I'd also like to try BR1 Natural Brown and GY1 Dark Greige, so I'll update later.
