 The felt tip is not very flexible, it got bent half way from the tip. It is still usable but it makes winging out eyeliner more difficult. All in all it I was not impressed by the product.

Pros:

  • It is a light product compared to UD which is cream base.
  • This smooths out the skin
  • Good for some one with dry or crepe eyelids
  • Great for layering under long lasting cream eye shadows, especially the ones that's long lasting like.

Cons:

  • My eye shadow still creased after only a few hours of wear, not for someone who has oily eyelids like me.
  • There is a white somewhat pearl finish after the product has been blended.
  • Feels like it has a lot of slip I'm thinking this product has a lot of silicone.


This is a product fail for me, it just didn't work for my oily eyelids. It just did not stop my eye shadow from creasing.
