L'Oreal ParisMakeup Infallible Never Fail Original Mechanical Pencil Eyeliner with Built in Sharpener, Navy, 0.008 oz.

This is my absolute favorite eyeliner ever. I know that everyone's preferences/interactions are different when it comes to cosmetics, but this one works the best for me. I have been using it for several years now and it is the only one I will continue to use, except when I want to add some liquid liner for a special night out. I prefer a more smudged eyeliner look than a hard and straight line, so this is ideal for me since the eyeliner itself is softer than a pencil and it has the smudge tool. Since I smudge it anyway, I can apply this relatively quickly without worrying about getting a perfectly straight and even line. Even though it is softer than a pencil, it is not so soft as a liquid liner/brush, so it is easier for me to control and apply and it is dry right away. It is dark, but it is not as dark and defined as a liquid liner. You will get a slightly different look depending on whether you apply it before eye shadow or after. Eye shadow will stick to the top of it, so it's less defined (more blended in?) if you apply the eyeliner first. If you apply the liner after the shadow, then it takes a little bit more effort because the liner will kindof wipe away the eye shadow first before it actually sticks to your eyelid, so you have to make a couple passes. But the end result will be a bit more definition of the line. And there is obviously more definition if you don't smudge it afterward. When I want a darker, more defined line, I use this liner as a sort of primer to liquid liner. I will apply this one and smudge it in as usual, then top it with a thin coat of liquid liner. More color and definition, but less worry about making the liquid line 100% correct and thick since the undercoat of liner shades in any gaps. It also comes with a sharpener attached to the smudger, but I never use it since I'm not going for that thin/defined line and I'm smudging it anyway; sharpening the crayon just wastes product. Once applied, it lasts me all day as long as I'm not rubbing my eyes or something. Even after swimming or sleeping, there is enough there to still look ok (again, since I smudge it...if I was going for a defined thin line, it probably wouldn't look right after swimming or sleeping).The only problem I have with this eyeliner is the casing - the clear smudger cap breaks and detaches easily in a bag and the casing around the smudger/sharpener cracks easily which causes the smudger/sharpener to fall out completely (and it always ends up at the bottom of my makeup bag, of course). The crayon itself often detaches from the retracting mechanism so that you can only advance it and not retract it.

It’s perfect and I will be buying another. Rich color. Doesn’t pull skin. Blends id desired. Stays all day. Washes off at night.

This is a dark navy colored mascara. It’s relatively smudge proof. It comes with a smudge tool, which immediately came off, but was easy to stick back on. It may stay. I’m not overly concerned with that. The color is almost black looking. Ink color.I may have to work with this. It does stay on the upper lid well. I used it one time under my eye and it looked like I had dark rings under my eyes. That issue may not apply to everyone. I think I can use it for the top lid only and I will need to practice with using more or less product.It’s generally as described.

As a 70 yo great grandma who still likes to look her best, this eyeliner is wonderful for my mature eyelids. I am blessed with great skin so I don't have to deal with major issues there, and this eyeliner works so well. I just use a little, smudge the line, and go on my way. This liner is very creamy and goes on smoothly, so there is no tugging or pulling. It lasts all day as well. It only takes a little to make my look complete!

I have used this #loreal infallible never fail mechanical eye liner for years ! My eyes are very sensitive & water easily with any eye product I use. I worked in the cosmetics industry for years. I had access too many of the high end eye products complimentary working for these companies. Yes, I was extremely lucky !! But, I always purchased this eyeliner to use with other products. It is smudge resistant, nice & creamy delivering rich long lasting wear & color. I highly recommend you try this eyeliner . Great price & value ! Thank you for reading my review.Janelle

This is an eyeliner that goes on smoothly and lasts all day and you don't have to sharpen it!

This product has a soft pencil which doesn’t smear. The end has a soft white tip to use for blending if desired. BUT it is frustrating how often the color pencil falls out, drops and breaks. If one could simply screw up the pencil when needed without dropping or breaking I would happily endorse the product with a full endorsement.

I have used this eye liner for years but have tried others also. Didn’t take me but a few days to go back to L’Oréal. Easy to apply especially when your hand is steady. However if you mess up, as will happen, it’s easy to correct. Highly recommend

It’s beautifully soft to go on easily and stayed on. Thank you 💕

Goodproduct

No se corre, dura todo el día. Aplicación suave aunque no pude sacar punta fina para una línea muy delgada. Negro intenso.

This is a really good liner. It doesn’t smudge and stays on for a long period of time.

Great eyeliner, would recommend. The only problem, it took ages to arrive, so four stars.
