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

Thank you for sending me the replacement! This is my all time favorite eye liner. Been using it for 10 years.

Excellent product. Easy to apply. Great selection of shades. True colors. Good to any skin type or tone.

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 quiz1- 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've never used liquid eyeliner, pencil only. I got tired of sharpening my expensive pencil just to have it break off especially if my sharpener had any excess makeup on it. I was constantly cleaning it and getting makeup everywhere. I LOVE the theBalm Mad Lash mascara, so I thought I would try the liquid eyeliner. Best decision I've made in a long time. I absolutely LOVE it. So smooth and easy to apply. The wand is perfect for a precise thin line. I'll never go back. Thank you!!

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.
