"I've used this product for years in two ways. First, used lightly, as my default eye crease emphasis, combined with a neutral lid color and brow highlight. The color is not too assertive and suits my fair complexion, but has a definite presence. It has a very fine grain and is easy to control and blend out. Secondly, and more frequently, it makes the perfect eyeliner, when made liquid with Dorf's "Transformer" as a fixative. It's not as harsh as black eyeliner, but not a wishy-washy brown. It also lasts forever, in a generous size, so my evaluation as a very likely repurchase requires me to live a long life! The only reason I repurchased after four years was because I lost my makeup bag when British Air lost my luggage. Otherwise, I probably could have gone another few years. I couldn't do without this makeup staple!"
