theBalm Schwing Liquid Eyeliner, Black, Matte Finish, 0.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

This is a repurchase already, I've tried many liners during my days and a Youtuber suggested this when I bought it too, and gosh it's a game-changer. The best one I have ever had. It dries in a second on skin, does not dry up on the brush if you take too long to decide where to put the wing, absolutely black, absolutely matt, perfect brush, stays whole day. And the last one lasted me like a year I used it all up. Full disclosure I do have oily hooded eyelids so soooometimes it does transfer up a bit, nothing I can't take off with a wipe the next time I visit the toilet, and it just stains a bit, the original wing is still there. But seriously the transfer is very small, and only occasionally, rarely, nothing compared to the disaster other eyeliners do, or the pain and rocket science it takes to apply other eyeliners. Buy it, it's gonna be your favourite one.

I desperately wanted a cruelty free version of the sephora liquid liners and I think this is it! I am converted and can see myself buying this product repeatedly. I can't complain but here are some comments: The felt tip is felt, however, it's firmer than I'm used to. This isn't bad or good, because it's firmer so it isn't as soft on my eyelid, but it gives me a much better wing with more control. Because of the firmer tip, it is finer than what I'm used to. It's extremely opaque and matte in the best way! It takes longer than I'm used to in order to dry, and when you try to wipe a mistake away, it smears instead of instant removal. Its sleek design is great on saving space and has a cute design on the package It's also not waterproof! Where's the waterproof... UPDATE: I go thru one of these every 2-3 months. I wish this wasn't the case, but I suppose for a $15 product vs a $20-30 high end one I can deal with it. It's just disappointing that I am spending more for less product compared to my old tried and true sephora liquid waterproof one.

I will continue to purchase this product. It's more affordable than many high end eyeliners, it's precise, the only thing is that it isn't waterproof. It's super dark though, which is amazing. If you don't mind that it isn't waterproof-pick this up. I've been a consistent customer for probably a few years now. It takes practice and after a while the brush frays a bit, but it's a great product and doesn't smudge easily on me (again, only really moves on me if water touches it) Pros: Once you've nailed a technique, it's a great product. Super black, matte, and doesn't dry out like other eyeliners with felt tips can. You can tell you're getting your money's worth, as it's evident there's enough product in here. Satisfying to shake..maybe thats just me haha. Cons: The brush can get a little stringy after continued use, it's not waterproof, not easy for me to personally find in stores- I guess thats what amazon is for though, right? Oh and if you're eyes get watery I'd suggest not using this. and be careful if it's raining and you wing like i wing.

This eyeliner is pretty awesome and gets the job done. I like it a lot, I just don't LOVE it which is unfortunate. It's definitely got its pros and cons. First the things I like about this eyeliner are: One, that it's matte. This was actually the biggest factor in purchasing this for me. I can't stand a glossy black eyeliner, it just looks weird, and at 33, I feel ages me quite a bit. Eyeliner that dries with a sheen just looks really paint like and unflattering. This eyeliner dries to a flat matte which is beautiful on. Two, it has amazing staying power and doesn't flake. As for the things I don't like: it's a little hard to work with. The felt tip is so small that you've really gotta take a lot of time with it to not only get a good line, but to fill in, especially if you're winging it. Obviously all eyeliner takes time but I feel this takes even more so. There's a fine line (ha) between not enough product on the tip and too much. If you have too little, it won't apply correctly and if it's too much it'll be too wet and pool and likely run or smear. For some reason this eyeliner produces gunk in the inner corner of my eye after a few hours of wear. I've never had this be an issue with any other liquid liner I've ever used. I've even tried not getting it close to that area but to no avail. The result is the same, oddly enough. If you accidentally touch the liner to your lashes, those lashes become hard and my mascara wand gets kinda caught on it and pulls. And lastly, it's a giant pain to remove. I've tried a few different makeup removers and the result is the same. It smears everywhere for what seems like an eternity without actually being removed. It takes a LOT of work to remove, more so than any eyeliner I've used in recent memory. Ultimately, despite the fact that it has more things I don't like about than I do, I still think the the result is definitely worth it. It's matteness is awesome, as is how the final result looks as a whole. The other things are annoying but worth it in the long run, IMO There definitely is a learning curve with this eyeliner. So, despite its drawbacks I do highly recommend it because of how matte it is and it's performance while on.

I’ve been using this eyeliner for a few years now. Being a licensed cosmetologist, I actually found this at CosmoProf the first time. They stopped carrying The Balm brand, and I literally cried because I love everything from them. I’m VERY particular about my eye liners. They have to be liquid, true black, smudge/ smear resistant, felt tip brush, and dip only. (I don’t want a pen, they bleed too much with the oil of my skin.) This eyeliner checks all the requirements and more. Hell, I’ve even fallen asleep with the stuff on and woke up damn passable the next day. (Not recommended btw, that’s terrible for your skin and I feel extreme disappointment in myself every time I do it, BUT, you can.) Is this the eyeliner for you? Let’s take a quiz 1- Do you regularly find bleed out/ kick off below your eyes from terrible make up? 2- Do you want a professional grade fancy AF strong woman eye liner that works as hard as you do? 3- Are you tired of falling asleep in your make up, but you come home too tired or drunk to make the time to take it off? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, just try the damn eye liner.

I really, really wanted to love this eyeliner. I have been using liquid eyeliner for at least 10 years, and it's taken me a long time to "perfect" the winged/cat-eye look. I heard so many good things about Schwing that I decided to try it out. Revlon's liquid eyeliner was my go-to for many years until I upgraded to Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner, which has been my current favorite since switching away from drugstore brands. I really have no complaints about Kat Von D's product but wanted to try something new once my tube ran out. Schwing has several pros but mostly cons for me, personally. I'll start with the good qualities: The liner dries VERY black. There's no gray or streaky aspects to it. It's black, black, black, which is definitely what you want in a good liquid liner! The brush is VERY thin, so you can get into the inner corners of your eyes and create a nice flick on the outer corners easily as long as you work slowly and carefully. The packaging is also very cute. OK, now for the cons... the length of the package is almost entirely taken up by the applicator wand, so that automatically decreases the value of the product in my book. The brush is also very, very delicate and flimsy, so it's difficult to control the application of liner unless you are extremely careful. It has taken me twice as long to apply this product compared to liners with a felt-tip brush for this reason. The liner also smudges very easily, which I was not expecting considering it dries quickly and is a super pigmented black. One accidental rub of the eye, and you've got a huge gray, bruise-like smudge across your eye. The liner is also difficult to take off with even a high-quality makeup remover because it smudges so much. Basically, using this liner has doubled both my makeup application and removal time, which has been a bit of a pain. As I said, I really, really wanted to love this product. It is good for creating very crisp, sharp and detailed lines, but for an everyday cat-eye look I found it to be quite a hassle. I'll stick with Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner until I find something better.

Best liquid eyeliner I've ever used. Been using it happily for years. It is great because it goes on super smooth so you can get sharp lines and it dries totally matte rather then the shiny, almost plastic-y appearance of other liquid liners. I find it to be very long lasting as well, I can get a minimum of 12 hour wear out of it before it begins to dull. That being said, ever when it begins to dull, it had literally NEVER smudged. But it also comes of easily. It's basically the perfect liner. Highly recommended!

I've have alot of trouble in the past lookin for a perfect liquid liner I am very picky when it comes to that and i got to say i love this product :)) other liners i bought in the past dry off to a shiny crap looking thing and peels off. But this one dries to a matte powder and that's exactly what i was looking for and the brush is so thin and perfect for thin line and easy so do those sexy wing tips. Its kind of pricey but its worth every penny u wont regret buying it. :)

J’utilise ce liner depuis des années et malgré le prix assez élevé je ne peux pas m’en passer. J’ai appris à faire mes traits de liner avec. La précision est top, la tenue aussi (ce n’est pas waterproof ne pas s’attendre à des miracles). Je mets de l’eyeliner tous les jours et il me tient bien plusieurs mois (3 ou 4). J’ai essayé les liner feutres et pinceaux et celui-là est le juste milieu entre le feutre facile à appliquer et la précision du pinceau.

Ordered this on reading great reviews and it did not disappoint. I like how slim the brush is, unlike some liquid liners. This way I can sometimes go for lighter lines and a minimalistic look. Quality of the liner is good too, with a nice matt finish. It stayed on pretty well for several hours.

Perfect delivery.. Loved the product and on time delivery..

Der Beste Eyeliner den ich je hatte! Hält den ganzen Tag, ist wischfest , leicht aufzutragen und hat ein tiefes schwarz. Drogerieprodukte können da nicht mithalten !

Questo a mio parere è il migliore eye-liner in commercio. Ne ho provati tanti ma The Balm li batte tutti. Facile da applicare, si asciuga subito evitando sbavature fastidiose e dura tutto il giorno. Io lo uso dalla mattina alla sera. Bellissimo l’effetto sull’occhio. Lo consiglio anche a chi come me ha più di 50 anni.
