REVIEWER HIGHLIGHT
"The holy grail that I have been using for 8 years now. I ran around with 40 children for 8 hours every day and by end of day the liner still looks close to perfect, with minimal smudging. I prep my eye lids with eye shadow primer and this also seems to help avoid any smears/smudging throughout the day. I've tried luxury brands and keep returning to KVD as the formula and applicator are close to perfection."

For a softer, more natural look, use the long-tipped brush end to draw a thin line along the lash line, starting from the inner corner and moving outward.

"I slept on this. I know this has been out for a while. but WOW this eyeliner is amazing. the stencil helps me out a lot. if the wings aren't close to being identical you can always clean it up with a makeup wipe. the eyeliner itself literally glides on and it's a very nice dark black. this makes doing eyeliner so much easier because of how easily and smoothly it glides on."
