It's a natural brown that's perfect for everyday wear. The shimmer is so fine that you can barely tell it's there - just a subtle, ethereal glow! It's impressive how easily it comes off with gentle oil cleansers, which seems to be less harsh on the eyes.
ConsBeing accustomed to automatic twist-up eyeliners, I found it inconvenient to constantly sharpen this one. Personally, the effort required for sharpening was a bit much, so I'd rate it 3 stars instead of 5, unfortunately.

The application is smooth, and the color is absolutely gorgeous. The subtle shimmer adds an extra touch of beauty. Personally, I find that the natural brown shade enhances my eyes more beautifully and deeply than black. These days, I use shade 15 as my base, and when I want a more defined look, I add a touch of shade 08 (a shimmery black) at the outer corners. This creates a truly deep and striking eye look. Since I have somewhat prominent double eyelids, I apply it thinly at the inner corners and gradually thicken the line towards the outer corners. While no eyeliner is completely smudge-proof, the application and staying power of this one are so good that a little smudging isn't really an issue. It's a bit of a long explanation, but in short, this is my absolute favorite!
ConsBe careful when applying multiple layers, as it can clump a bit if you overdo it.
TipI've listed the positive points, so please refer to those for more information.

It's been my go-to for over 6 years now! Unlike other pencils that often break when you're applying, this one doesn't have that issue. It's not too hard, so it doesn't hurt the delicate eye area. It doesn't smudge easily (it's waterproof) but still removes well! I use shade 15, which creates a natural shadow on my dark-yellow complexion without looking too white. The shimmer isn't excessive, blending naturally with my makeup (though as I have monolids, I use this for contouring and add a black eyeliner on top). You can control the color intensity too. I've been in love with this product for years. Though it's a bit pricey, I've tried similar products like Wood* and others, but I just can't switch! *Note: I don't usually go for higher-end products. I've tested trendy eyeliner pencils now and then, but always find something off (too glittery, too soft, unnatural colors, etc.).
ConsI'm not sure how others use it when it gets short, but it wears down faster than expected (with daily use). It lasts about 2-3 months if you're lucky, maybe just 2 if not (is this normal for everyone?). I usually buy 2-3 and keep them stocked, using one at a time. Regular pencil sharpeners don't work well and can ruin the tip. The Face* sharpener is the best fit and works fine. You don't need the one with two holes. Be careful not to sharpen it too pointy as the tip might break. As I have very monolid eyes, it can smudge a bit at the outer corners sometimes. But compared to other products I've tried, it's still very, very good in this aspect. Usually, one touch-up is enough to fix it. *For reference: I have monolids, single eyelids, and dry skin.
TipWhen they get too short, I keep them in my makeup bag as backups. This is an absolute must-have item for me, so I can't be without it. That's why my makeup bag is full of eyeliners (when they're short, they can dry out a bit, reducing application smoothness - but it still doesn't hurt to use). If you sharpen it too pointy, it might break, so I keep it slightly blunt. If it does get too sharp, I tap the tip with my finger to blunt it, making it easier to use. I mix oil with my BB cream, which can cause smudging. To prevent this, avoid oil around the eyes and pat some powder on before applying the eyeliner.

It glides on smoothly and has 'relatively' less smudging. I especially love the brown shade - it's the calm, reddish-free brown I've been looking for, so I use it all the time. I'm using shade 11. The price point is also affordable, which is why I'm already on my third one!
ConsThe pencil is a bit soft, which makes it easy to apply but sometimes breaks while sharpening. It's not completely smudge-proof.
TipFor pencil liners, if you let the eyeliner dry a bit after application before moving your eyes, it's less likely to transfer onto your double eyelids.

I use shade 11, which is a dark brown, allowing for a natural-looking eye makeup!
ConsSome people mention it smudges, but given the nature of pencil liners, a bit of smudging seems unavoidable. Still, I think this is one of the pencil liners that smudges the least.
TipI use a soft eyeliner for my waterline and then use a gel liner or pen liner for my wing when doing my makeup!

You can build up the intensity by applying multiple layers to achieve your desired depth of color.
ConsThe pencil type that requires sharpening is inconvenient. It wears down quickly, so you need to use it up fast and sharpen it frequently. It would be better if it came in an automatic pencil format.

The color looks natural too.
ConsBecause it's so soft, when you're not used to it at first, it might apply well on the back of your hand but not so easily on your eyes. The staying power is quite poor. Even after reapplying several times, you'll need to keep touching up after a few hours.
TipLayering eyeshadow on top improves its longevity!
