I've used the mascaras before, but never the eyeliner until now. The liner pencil is slim and doesn't need sharpening. I've worn it in the shower with no smudging or flaking. I also tested it out to see how long it would last. After applying, I 'seal' it with using a brush to tap power over it and tested it out for length of wear. 3 days. It lasted 3 days with no issues. That included 1 shift of work, 2 showers, 1 steamy bath, 5 hours of yard work, washing my face while avoiding my eyes, rubbing my eyes a bit after cutting onions, and of course sleeping. After that, the liner did wear at the ends. It's also always super easy to remove with any oil based remover. Just make sure for best results, to make sure the cap is secured after every use or the tip with dry out a bit (if dried, then just draw a line on some paper or paper towel to wear the tip off before using again).
