I love how this stays on for a very long time. The bad thing about this eyeliner is that it runs out pretty quick. I use it everyday and it lasts maybe two weeks.

Im in love with this eye liner!!
Date:April 28, 2013
Tags: Long wearing, Bold Color
I bought one half a year ago. I didn't notice the rating and reviews for this liner when I bought it. After I got it and tried on my eye, I fell in love. This liner can give you very smooth and precise line. You can draw any shape of lines you want on your eye! Great stuff! worth buying. I am getting my second one now;)

I love mac cosmetics and only wear mac but I was very unhappy with this item. It is very faint and hard to apply because it is so faint it is like using afelt tip writing pen that is out of ink!

Precise liner.

I bought this before I started using fluidline. I wanted something simple and easy to carry.
I thought it was a very nice black and the felt tip help with precise winged liner. It was pretty long wearing and did not smudge. Easy to clean with makeup remover. It does have a slight shiny coat and If you don't like that, try the fluidline.

This liner lasted a few months. On to the next..

The overall life of the pen is less than 3 weeks
Date:March 19, 2013
Tags: Bold Color, short term use
Very cool concept to have the eyeliner in the form of a precise pen tip! I feel like the tip is a little rough on my eyes, especially on the eyelids, feels very scratchy, however once you get it on and done, makes a great solid black line! The life of this pen is maybe 3weeks tops, like me I used it every day to get my moneys' worth and it ran out around the beginning of the third week, so disappointed :( I won't purchase this again for the fact that the tip is extremely scratchy and the life is short :( aww poo poo I really wanted to love this eyeliner, but Ill stick w/ the MAC fluidline or a traditional MAC Kohl pencil !

Fantastic.
Date:February 27, 2013
Tags: Long wearing, Bold Color, longwear bold color easy application.
I have yet to find any eyeliner pen that is this precise and this bold with its application. At first, I shared the sentiment a lot of people here that left reviews had in that it dried out incredibly quickly. I was angry and frustrated that I spend $20 on something that only lasted a few weeks.
Lo and behold, I told my makeup artist friend that works at MAC this, and she informed me that you can pull out the felt tip, flip it around, and push it back in. Voila! Dry tip problem solved! For anyone who claims the pen dries out too quickly, try this first. Every time it dries out, flip the tip. When it finally doesn't help the issue, your penultimate is probably at the end of its days.
My only complaint is that I wish I didn't have to flip so often. But for a pen type liner, it's somewhat to be expected. I also get incredibly long wear time out of this. Usually all day and I have excessively oily skin, especially on my lids.

I absolutely love this liner. It goes on smooth even for my looser eye skin texture due to aging. Perfect tip size let you go thin, or build to bold cat eyes if wanted. Does not flake off like many liquid felt tips liners tend to. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best for winged eyeliner!

Tags: Waterproof, Bold Color, precision, ease of use, fine tip
LOVE this product!
I have used a few liquid eyeliner pens before. All seemed to be good, but my life changed when I used the Penultimate liquid eyeliner pen!!
The tip is super fine so is great to trace where you want your wing to go. The color is rich and won't budge! Easy to rub off if you make a mistake but will not smudge once dry.
I will never buy another liquid pencil liner again!

I love this eyeliner!!! It is the best!!! You can wear it thick and bold or thin and subtle. Its very versatile for day and night wear. Plus, its long wearing and doesn't run/smudge!!! Which is definitely a plus in my book!!! =)

Tags: Bold Color, Long wearing, wings. detailed eyeliner
I always wanted to get a good wing, And I just could'nt do it very well with cremes and pencils. But I loves how you could hold them and I didnt like how you had to hold a liquid eyeliner. I felt like it was less control. But this one from MAC is fantastic. Its the holder like a pencil so you have the control. But the detail on a liquid liner. Drys very fast and doesnt smudge. LOVE IT

My old roommate introduced me to this eyeliner 5 years ago and I haven't used anything since! Definitely try it out. You won't be disappointed! The liner stays in place all day long.

Tags: filling in dark eyebrows
So i bought this liner because I LOVE MAC products but was disappointed with how long it lasts as an eyeliner, but then I had the great idea to use it to fill in my eyebrows and I was SOOOO happy with it! if you have dark brown/black eyebrows and are looking for that dramatic but natural look this is FANTASTIC, especially paired with black mascara for the finish!

I fell in love with this product since the second I put the first stroke on. It has a great bold color and unlike other eyeliners it lasted ALL DAY. For about twenty dollars I expected alot, and it met up to my expectations. I don't usually wear makeup often so when I do this was my go to, although as I noticed over a month of only using the eyeliner about ten times it was OUT. If I am going to spend twenty dollars on an eyeliner I expect it to be a miracle in a bottle.. not a ten day supply. I wish this really did last longer though, it's a great liner.

Waste of MONEY on this product
Date:August 19, 2012
I'm so very disappointed with this product. I really wanted to LOVE it but, it didn't even last for over two months and when I went to use it, it took forever to come out of the pen. I'm never buying this product ever again. I'm sticking to the basic Black Liquid eyeliner in Boot Black.

The application is so easy and goes on smooth. However, the liner smudges and doesn't stay as long as LIQUIDLAST LINER does. I recommend liquidlast for something that lasts long.

Mines completely dried out in 3 days

Tags: dull color not long lasting
I got this a few days ago and it lasted for 3 days. On the first day when i decided to use it, the color came out very dull and greyish black which dissapointed me... it smudges too and the color was like almost dried out and very very light as iit's not saturated enough. This is definately not BOLD in color, more like DULL. I regret purchasing this eyeliner and thought that it was not worth the price for something that lasts 3 days. Will not buy again!

I don't use liquid liners because I've always found them hard to use and really messy, but this one is amazing! It's not messy and it stays on all day! This is a must have. :)
