The shade is super pigmented and opaque on a single layer with a smooth, easy glide. The flexible tip has a tapered end and a precise point which makes it easy to hug your lash line for a thinner line initially but widens out as you apply so it fills between lashes and provides a smooth, straight, even line. It wears beautifully on my drier eyes without smearing or fading and sets to a satiny finish for a strong 12 hours of wear and easy removal at the end of the night.
