Shiseido

MICROLINER INK Eyeliner (1,5N Neutral)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kajal InkArtist liner is second to none. I always come back to this liner, and have it in several colors. The quality, creaminess, color saturation, and ease of application are exceptional.You can apply directly or with a brush - straight line, smudge, feather out - you name it. You have plenty of time to work with it before it sets too. It does not bother my sensitive eyes at all. Plum Blossom is a gorgeous purple that both lines and smokes out beautifully. Birodo Green is vibrant and rich. Nippon Noir is the perfect, velvety black. Tea House is a gorgeous, rich brown; I'm nearly out of it and hope to see it available again soon.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to love this but can't. I love the thin precise lining of this liner but it smears really bad even after 5 minutes of wearing this. I used this with the best eyeshadow primer that makes everything stick but nope, this didn't hold it into place. I continued to wear it for the day even after I cleaned up my eye lid but it smeared which gave me a sort of raccoon look on my bottom lids. The only way to keep this in place is when I put my HG liquid liner on top. So essentially, the Shiseido liner draws on the line but I have to fill it in with my other liquid liner. Pretty disappointing so I'll be returning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After reading many rave reviews I ordered this. A huge disappointment. This gave me the raccoon eyes or PANDA BEAR eyes in Japanese. It started good, easy application. Great texture, not too hard not too soft. I looked at myself in a mirror about an hour after putting my makeup on there were smudges under my eyes. As a woman in her mid fifty, it is best not to touch under the eyes too much to minimize creating more wrinkles. The following day I applied this eyeliner again and smudges appeared again. I looked horrible. Sadly this product was a waste of money for me. Too many reviews are from the "influencers".

Yes, BROWN is offered, but the problem is what SHADE of brown? I want a soft brown but for the life of me cannot find it in any cosmetic line. When you consider all the fair-haired and fair-eyed women in the world, it's hard to comprehend that no one offers it. Someone actually said to me, "Oh my, you lined your eyes so perfectly!" What???? It's supposed to enhance the eye, not stand out on its own -- and that's even with smudging it as best I could without blending it entirely away. C'mon, can't someone come out with a soft brown eyeliner?????

My eyes reacted pretty badly to this pencil. When I applied the pencil it felt somehow uncomfortable and as the time passed it got worse. The next day my eyes were red, swollen and burning. I didn't use it since then and today I tried again and exactly the same reaction. Never happened before with any other pencil or eyeliner, even when I was wearing contacts, which is not the case now. Otherwise I am using Shiseido Benefiance creams regularly for over 20 years and I'm satisfied with them.

This is the best, least complicated eyeliner I have ever used. It goes on super controllable and in a thin line, allowing you to build the look you want, subtle or dramatic. The super thin crayon does not crumble (unless it's really old, so if it crumbles new, bring it back for exchange). It goes on easily, you do not have to tug your eye trying to put it on. The colour is deeply pigmented. It stays on - and in place - all day or all night (evening touch up suggested). And it comes in navy blue - the BEST colour for blondes or fair-skinned or "I used to wear black but now I'm getting older and losing some pigment, so black is too harsh" (like me). It would look great on anyone (all skin tones) who looks good in black liner, but for those of us for whom black no longer looks good, but still want an eye with emphasis, this is AMAZING! Please don't ever stop making this!!! Thank you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace the discontinued eye pencil that required sharpening. I have to say that this is a great product in that it does not need sharpening, and it goes on very precisely and smoothly. One thing that I don't like is that you can't tell how much product you have left, but it's pretty minor because I love how this looks when applied. Overall I'd say I'd definitely buy this again.

This is my all time favorite eyeliner. Great precision, glides effortlessly, dries well, does not pull the skin. It is neither too "runny" nor too dry (for instance Marc Jacob' s fine liner was way too dry and did not line smoothly). Just love it. Have not find anything similar, maybe vaguely Pat McGrath permagel pencils might have similar consistency. I like the plum shade. It is beautiful.
