Good if you need waterproof
-05.18.13
Quick Take: waterproof, long wearing
This is a good option if you require waterproof liner. Ai use it under the eye area as my eyes so entires water due to allergies. The brown 2L is very nice, soft, not too dark for daytime, will smudge if you blend it immediately. I also have the dark blue 3L. The Aqua products will set right away, making them sometimes less blendable. I also tried the stick shadows, but they wouldn't blend well enough for me. You must always keep them capped to avoid having them dry out.

"Majorelle Blue" Aqua Eyes
-05.14.13
Quick Take: long wearing, smudge proof
Beautiful bright eyeliner, but it's not very pigmented. It's suppose to be a metallic royal blue but it looks more like a bright blue, not deep blue nor royal blue. It's pretty though. I love it best when paired with navy blue and gold eye shadows. I apply this on the lower lash line but only black kohl eyeliner on upper lash line. It's long wearing and smudge proof.

Great Eyeliner
-05.13.13
Quick Take: waterproof, long wearing, smudgable
This eyeliner is definitely smudge-proof and water-resistant. I have oily skin which makes my eyelids quite oily sometimes, and even waterproof eyeliners usually fade away by mid-morning for me! This eyeliner actually stays on very well and the color does not fade. I will definitely repurchase this product again - just wishing it has a finer tip.

Long-lasting, excellent eyeliner
-05.13.13
Quick Take: waterproof, long wearing, smudgeproof
I purchased this eyeliner in the Bronze 10L color and I absolutely love it! It lasts all day, is waterproof and smudge-proof, and the color is amazing. I have tried a lot of eyeliners and this out-performs all others. The performance is true to the description - no gimmicks here. I have finally found a lasting eyeliner that I will use forever!

Have Used Better
-05.12.13
Quick Take: wears well, stays on but gets thinner
My order says this is an "iridescent blue".... but it looks like a dark navy blue. This stays on for a decent amount of time; the only problem I really have with this is that I have to put it on thicker and much earlier than other eyeliners as it takes time to become a thin blue line, if that makes sense. If I put it on as thin as I wanted it to end up looking it might be gone. The way I have to use this - it looks the way I want it to by the time I leave! Odd- if freshly sharpened it goes on inner/water line but doesn't look as blue there. Bottom-line, I've used better- but it's not the worst blue eyeliner. Fortunately I bought this only due to a "look" I saw in the Trend or How-To section... not a liner I use that much.

Definately waterproof

Quick Take: waterproof, long wearing
Can't go wrong with Makeup forever. Their products are definately waterproof and long wearing. Works really well for those who work outdoors (in all types of weather) and don't have time to reapply their makeup.

Just fall in love with this eyeliner! It stays the whole day and I don't have to look at the mirror many times to check my eyeliners.
Highly recommend.

Great liner!
-05.11.13
Quick Take: long wearing
This liner glides on easily and doesn't run or smudge on my eyelid. Some liners are too soft or hard. This one seems to be a perfect consistency for me.

A fabulous pencil
-05.10.13
Quick Take: waterproof, long wearing, smudgable
I bought this to do my engagement photo look. It's a bit of a pain to take off, but that means its completely waterproof and the color payoff is excellent. I'm one of those can't-leave-the-house-with-a-bit-of-an-eye and this is perfect for getting intensity on QUICK. It stil can be smudged for the first few seconds after its applied, but then it locks on and doesn't let go. For evening looks its great for doing your waterlines. I love it!

I love the color BUT NOT THE PRODUCT....
-05.09.13
Quick Take: doesn't stay put
I bought the color 23L (pink champagne). I love the color... It's very pigmented... BUT the reason I bought it was to put it on my water line... From the title, "AQUA EYES", I thought it would stay put BUT IT DOESN'T.... I wouldn't recommend this for the water line... Maybe the inner corner...

Quick Take: waterproof, long wearing
I've been using Channel eyeliner for years, but it was getting too expensive ($30+). An associate recommended me this product, and I've been using it since. It's not as soft as the Chanel one, but it's soft enough! It goes on super easy and lasts the whole day.

Best ever I've found
-05.07.13
Quick Take: waterproof, long wearing, smudgable, just love them !, great color
I own a few of these, and have very sensitive eyes, am a contact lense wearer; and just love this product.
Amazingly, it glides on, sets into place, and still removes without harsh pulling of the skin and sensitive eye area.
Now, if I only hadn't missed the sale of the bulk eyeliners..Sephora NEEDS to bring this back!! They're pencils..it's not like they're hard to produce!!! <3

Quick Take: waterproof, smudgable, long wearing
I love this instead of black which just looks too harsh at my age. I can't wear Urban Decay Zero or any other straight up true black except maybe for evening. This color is awesome day and night. Stays on all day. Smudgable for a minute. Doesn't set too fast.

Not as great as the black - does not apply as well. I love aqua eyes though and will go back to the black variety.
