Hourglass is an expensive and generally a quite reliable brand! I absolutely love their foundation, concealer and powder but it is actually really expensive. Especially considering the makeup brand as a whole, which essentially lends itself to a natural, effortless and easy look. There aren't any surprising shades, or over the top lip colors; for the most part they put out neutral colors that can be worn (and loved) by anyone who enjoys makeup. I have loved Hourglass products in the past, but this eye-liner just doesn't work well for me.
Hourglass claims that this eyeliner, which retails for $34 on their website, is both waterproof and long-wearing, ultra black and offers ultimate control of application with the felt tip with even application of product with every stroke. When I swatched this eyeliner I was completely blown away with the pigment it offered, Hourglass's claim of an 'Ultra Black' liner definetely upheld with this product! However, although the swatch lasted for days on my arm it is only able to stay put on my eyelid for 4-6 hours at a time before smudging. That being said, I do have oily eyelids, but this is a product that claims to be waterproof so oily eyelids should have such an effect on the smudging of this product. I think my biggest problem with this product is that it won't apply over eyeshadow, it just won't apply and then dries up as you're using it even though there's plenty of product left in the tube.
Overall I've decided to use it up, since i paid $34 for it, but I will not be repurchasing it. In fact, I already bought the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner because i was so unhappy with this hourglass one.
