Disappointing
-06.11.11
The liquid made my eyeshadows clumpy and gave them a watered-down look, diluted look when used as a liner.

Great for the unique color
-06.07.11
Quick Take: smudgable, long wearing
You can use this to turn ANY powder into an eyeliner. It is made to turn eyeshadow into eyeliner, but any powder will work. It is fun and an awesome product, especially for obtaining the right look.

Works good
-06.04.11
Quick Take: long wearing
I tried the transformer for the first time today and thought it worked great!I first tried it with a bright pink eyeshadow. That color didn't show up too well, so I switched to a black shadow which was awesome! I do agree that it does sting a little, but it doesn't last long, and I think "burn" is too strong of a descriptive word.

It simply didn't work
-05.15.11
This is the only product I have ever purchased from Sephora that really did not do exactly as promised. I tried it out the day that I received it in the mail and I returned it the next day because the liner never showed up.

More like eye-stinger transformer
-05.12.11
Quick Take: stingy
This product not only causes a stinging sensation, the tip is so hard and coarse it straches the eye. Also note, I didn't accidently get any liquid in my eye either. That's the sad part.

Wouldn't recommend this one
-05.11.11
I couldn't get this product to work for me, it irritated my eyes and made a mess out of my eye makeup. I put on a darker eyeshadow and put this on top of it to make eyeliner and it was burny and made my eyes red

Worst thing I ever bought
-04.29.11
This thing absolutely does not turn my eyeshadow into a smudge-proof liquid liner, no matter what type of quality eyeshadow I use. The brush is so tiny so I keep having to go back and forth to achieve a visible color line. I can achieve the same effect with water, a liner brush, and pressed powder. Not worth your mere $6 or your time.

great little secret
-04.28.11
Quick Take: long wearing
Easy to use and stays on. I have sensitive skin and it burns a bit when I put it on. I cannot wear it everyday. It is great for a flashy change when I am in the mood!

Good if you like liquid liner
-04.18.11
Quick Take: long wearing
I personally do better wetting the shadow and using a brush to apply. This goes on pretty thick and wears like a liquid liner.

Quick Take: long wearing, non-irritating
I love this stuff. It's versatile, long-wearing, easy on the eyes, and it really does what it says. I use it with my Sephora eye shadow palette to play with all sorts of colors when I don't want just basic black.

Not worth the effort
-04.14.11
Quick Take: mediocre at best...
A somewhat mediocre product. Its more hassle to use than it is worth. I thought it was worth a try for 6 bucks but I have better results just wetting a eyeliner brush and pressing it into the eyeshadow. Not worth the 6 dollars, honestly. it doesnt work any better than water.

ANY color eye liner!

Quick Take: long wearing, easy to use, versatile
Easy to use, quick, simple. The opportunity to use almost any powder shadow as an eyeliner! Long wearing - stays where you put it.

I totally loved the idea of this when I ordered it. However, after using it I don"t feel like it does anything different than wetting the tip of an angled brush and using that. The shape, size, and feel of it in your hand are all good but it just didn't "WOW" me like I thought it would. There are similar type products out there that work a lot better.

Sad I found it too late!

Quick Take: waterproof, long wearing
I bought one of these since it is on what appears to be a closeout sale, and I loved it! So I bought a couple more since the price is so good. Even if they do come back, (which would be nice) I ended up getting a great deal on this.

Great!
-03.17.11
Quick Take: long wearing
This goes on well, blends well with the colors and lasts. The only thing I would advise is to always wipe off the tip after application and before putting the liner back into the bottle, and buy two transformers - one for light colors and one for dark.
