I purchased this in Dark Brown and I love it! I've tried a lot of American drugstore pencil eyeliners that claim to be waterproof or smudgeproof and none of them have lasted even an hour before smearing all over my eye area. This gel liner is very soft (which was a bit difficult for me to work with since I'm usually using liquid eyeliners and can get very precise strokes easily, but I learned how to use this easily after about 2 times!), stays on immediately with almost no drying time, and stayed on perfectly without smudging for around 8 hours. I ran a lot of errands for about 8 hours and went through heavy rain, too, so I would say that this lasted well! The only time it started smudging was after the 8 hours when I went to have dinner with friends. I smiled and laughed a lot during dinner and I think that's what transferred the liner from my eyelid to the area of my bottom lashes. The only thing I would change is the amount of this gel liner. I think that I go through this very quickly and I've only had it for a week or two, so I'll have to purchase another one soon. Other than that, this is the best pencil liner I've used so far.
