This liner was horrible. I was looking for a replacement for my e.l.f liquid liner. I use high end makeup, but I can't find a liner that's so easy to control like e.l.f. this was looking for something waterproof, long lasting, and easy to apply. BUT this liner skips, and the tip is ALWAYS dry and bent. Leaves smudged lines and I've never been able to get a straight wing with this liner. Its not precise AT ALL. I always get liner everywhere but where it's intended. I even went back into ulta, to see If I had a defective liner, and the sample was just as bad!

If you are obsessed with achieving that intense, perfectly winged eye you will love this product. For starters, the felt precision tip has just the right amount of flexibility to glide across my eyelids without dragging my skin. As someone who struggles with slightly loose eyelid skin I really appreciate this as I get frustrated at times when my lines appear jagged as a result of my skin getting dragged by the applicator. The product is very "inky" so I have to be careful not to press too hard so as not to not ruin the line. If you have unsteady or shaky hands this may not be appealing to you but I learned that by going slow and with the right amount of pressure I can make sharp, clean lines without the need for a second pass. This liner is also incredibly black. It reminds me of the material that was once used in an art exhibit that is supposed to be the blackest substance on earth. The matte component I assume functions to eliminate the shine, and thus the appearance of a lighter shade resulting in extremely dark lines. Additionally, this product claims to be longwearing and that is absolutely correct. When paired with a good shadow primer I have no trouble keeping this on from sun up to sun down and beyond. It is definitely not waterproof though, so if you have issues with watery eyes or live in an extremely humid environment this may be an issue but so far I haven't had any problems. I have been using this product fairly regularly for the past month and have noticed that like other felt tip liners the very tip is not as inky as it was fresh out the box. This doesn't affect my lines when I am making wings but I feel it worth mentioning. Overall, I think this is a great product. This is my first experience with a matte liner and I must admit that I am hooked. I received this product complimentary for testing purposes and I am thankful to Benefit Cosmetics for giving me the opportunity to try it out so that I can share my honest thoughts with others.

I wish it came in a waterproof formulation but I still like how long it lasts even without that protection.

I really like this eyeliner! It goes on very smoothly, has a precise tip, and truly does have a matte black finish. It dries super fast, which was impressive. This could be a problem for you if you struggle with liquid liner application and are concerned about being able to easily correct mistakes. I liked the fast-drying because it prevents smearing when applying. It is long lasting, but I didn’t struggle to take it off at the end of the day, so I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s waterproof. Again, this could be a good or bad thing for you depending on how waterproof you need your eyeliner to be. If you’re looking for something that will stay in place when you’re swimming in the pool, this isn’t it. But if you’re looking for something that’s long lasting yet easy to remove with makeup remover, this is for you! I received this product complimentary for testing purposes. « less

I received Benefit Roller Liner free to review. My first impression was that the packaging is very trendy and pretty. The liner itself has a very pretty appearance also, the print and lid are eye catching which I personally like alot. The lid comes off with no effort and I feel like it could be a little more secure, but it does stay on and after using it several times I haven't noticed the felt tip drying out at all. just a nit picky thing that isn't a big deal at all. It has a nice long felt tip for precise lines. When applying I notice the felt tip is very flexible so if you like super fine/thin lines you need to use a very light hand. The tip glides smoothly making application easy. The applicator does not hang or tug at the eyelid at all. The pigmentation is bold and solid so I didn't have to go over my lines more than once. The formula is quick drying, no issues with bleeding or smudging. After using the Benefit Roller liner for a week i noticed throughout the day it holds up well and by the end of the day still looks really good. I have a tendency to rub my eyes so I had to do several mirror checks and the liner stayed in place, didn't migrate or smudge which is great. Even when I got a little sweaty it stayed put. Overall, I am really impressed with this liner and would deffinitely recommend it.
