So what makes an eyeliner like this one truly so remarkable? Well, there are a few things I’d put it down to.

Firstly, the eyeliner fluid itself. Where others come up watery, drawing an inconsistent line over the eyelid, this one flows evenly from the nib, creating an arc of richly-pigmented liner from the very first swipe.

The nib also helps. The almost-almond-shaped felt tip-style head is sturdy enough that it draws on a sharp, strong line that’s never too wide and never too skinny. Plus, the point at the very tip creates a tapered end to the flick on the very first go without the need for tricksy TikTok hacks or cumbersome stencils.

Finally, I’m obsessed with the shade. So many brands claim to offer a true, rich, deep black, but this is one of the only products I’ve tried that truly delivers on such promise.

My only gripe? I just wish it was around in my early days of experimentation. I guess I’ll now have to make up for lost time.
