Very happy with the black eyeliner!
-03.31.13
Quick Take: long wearing, smudgable, dark
I have used the Dior liner before this and found YSL (black eyeliner) to be much more creamier, dark, and smudgable. For reference, I use the black, which I am very happy with.
I have the grey pencil also, which, however, is not as creamy or rich in color as the black.

Disappointed
-03.16.13
I am a big fan of YSL faux cils mascara, so I decided to try the eye crayon. I am completely disappointed both at color intensity (I got the brown) as well as its durability and application. The color would fade onto my upper lid in no time and the color would generally not last more than a few hours. It is also way too hard for a pencil and you have to apply it 2-3 times to get some color. I have never had this problem with an eye pencil before.

Great texture but breaks when you sharpen it
-12.22.12
Quick Take: smudgable, long wearing
The pencil really is long-lasting, and smudges well for the perfect smoky eye. My only gripe: I have been purchasing this product for years but have only recently noticed that when I sharpen it, the tip breaks off and I am forced to sharpen it repeatedly, which basically wastes half the pencil. Very frustrating.

still on the fence.
-02.22.12
Quick Take: long wearing, difficult to blend, difficult to apply
the girls at the store highly recommended this for a great black eyeliner however i am still not sure how i feel about this product. it’s not very dark when applying on my lid and i feel like i have to retrace this several times it to make it look black. and its not very easy to blend.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT!
-12.06.11
Absolutely the best eye-liner I have ever purchased. Pricey
but worth it! Easy to apply. Intense color that does not fade or smear after application. Will definitely buy again.

Doesn't smudge
-11.05.11
Quick Take: long wearing
This doesn't smudge easily during the application process, so make sure your line is where you want it to be and as thick/thin as you want it. It last all day, doesn't smear. It's a great color. I would buy again, though I'd like to try other brands as well.

crayon yeux haute tenuel - long lasting eye pencil
-10.31.11
Quick Take: long wearing
I feel this is a rather spendy eye-pencil and it still doesnt last ong. It only lasts between 2-4 hours. Does not work at all on the water line. Plus, if you are wearing false lashes, its not dark enough. I dont think I'll buy this again. Way too expensive.

I did not like this pencil. It was very hard to blend. Very disappointing as I love YSL foundation, shadow quads, and lipsticks.

doesn't slide on smoothly
-08.27.11
Quick Take: long wearing, smudgable
While I love the color and size of this pencil, it does not slide onto my skin as smoothly as I had hoped. I probably won't buy it again and I don't think it's worth the money.

The description is really accurate. This stuff glides on super easily (so I don't scratch my eyelids) & it lasts & lasts without smearing. Just what I was looking for!

great
-08.18.11
Quick Take: smudgable, waterproof, long wearing
I use this eyeliner for my lower lash line. It doesn't smudge and still looked nice and neat at the end of the day. The pencil is soft enough to glide on easily but not so soft that you can't get a good line. Great for everyday makeup.

Color 2 Leather Brown .... Love It!
-08.18.11
Quick Take: long wearing, smudgable
The description says it all...
- Long wearing
- True to the color
- Easily Blendable
The color (2) Leather Brown is a darker tobacco brown, that you can adjust for your desired look (daytime use or for a night out....) Color is buildable & easily blendable / smudges with the sponge tip...
Perfect shade in my opinion!
