워터프루프 젤 아이라이너 [03 프렌치라떼]

The product is on the softer side, so you need to be careful when applying it

I'm really enjoying this product all around - it's the color I wanted and it absorbs beautifully on my skin

For those planning to use it as eyeshadow, try applying a small amount on the back of your hand and blend with your fingers. You'll be able to create a truly beautiful eyeshadow look.

Since it's a pencil type that needs sharpening, those without a pencil sharpener will need to purchase one separately!

Application: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It absorbs beautifully and smoothly. It's great for use as an eyeshadow. I've been using it as a pearly eyeshadow instead of a liner by applying a small amount on the back of my hand. It's so soft that it blends well, and the color is gorgeous. It looks stunning when applied as an accent over matte eyeshadow.

Longevity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I've only used it as eyeshadow, but being waterproof, it stays put from morning until night without needing any touch-ups, which is fantastic.

Portability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The pencil type makes it incredibly convenient to carry around. It's slim and long, fitting easily into a makeup pouch. Best of all, you don't have to worry about it breaking like powder eyeshadows.

Price: ⭐⭐⭐
I bought it for less than 1000 won during a sale on Ti*. I didn't know the regular price, but it turns out to be 6000 won. Considering other waterproof gel liners cost nearly 10,000 won or more, I think it's relatively affordable among waterproof gel liners.

For those with oily skin, it may smudge a bit after a long time. Unfortunately, it tends to break easily when sharpening.

It glides on smoothly and creates a bold line with just one stroke. I think it's quite good value for money.

For a natural shimmer, blend immediately after application. If you prefer no smudging, let it dry for about 5 minutes and it won't budge even when rubbed. This versatility allows for various uses.

It's incredibly soft - almost too soft. I'm worried about how to sharpen it without it crumbling. The size is also smaller than I expected.

The application is incredibly smooth. My eye area is sensitive and I struggle with stiff products, but this glides on effortlessly, which I absolutely love. I'm using shade 4 Arabica Latte - you can blend it immediately for a soft, eyeshadow-like effect, or wait 5 minutes for it to set completely without any smudging. The price is fantastic. While the regular price is listed as 6000 won, it's constantly on sale for 2200 won, and I've seen it drop as low as 990 won. The price really makes up for any shortcomings. It's also super easy to remove - it takes just 5 seconds with a drugstore cleansing water. Removal is a breeze!

Sharpen it to a blunt tip and apply it at an angle rather than vertically. It's hard to find something this good at this price point. I've been using this product for about 4-5 years. French Latte is #3, which I apply thickly, then use #2, a deeper brown, to draw a thin line over it and fill in the waterline for a beautiful gradient effect that makes eyes pop. Right after application, it's easy to smudge, so even makeup beginners can create a nice look by gently blending if they make a mistake. It's great because it doesn't dry immediately, giving you just enough time to make adjustments before setting.

I've been repurchasing this for years, but the downside is... as you sharpen it down to a stub, the density of the pencil part decreases, leaving small air bubble-like gaps in the core. So right after sharpening, the core might break off as soon as you apply it to your eyes. The worst part is when you can't find where it fell and end up smudging it. You have to freeze, carefully locate it, and throw it away. If it gets smudged and sets on clothes or desks, it won't come off!

The softness actually reduces eye irritation, allowing for smooth application without worrying about wrinkles. I loved that it needs to be sharpened with a pencil sharpener. Unlike other auto-pencils that you can never use up completely and gradually harden, sharpening always reveals a fresh, soft pencil tip. It doesn't smudge once it's dried sufficiently.

I bought it at a super low price on social media. But I didn't expect it to be this bad... I bought three in light colors to use as eyeshadow and underliner. All three were extremely soft. Two of them even broke while opening the cap. It's supposed to be sharpened, but it keeps breaking so I can't even sharpen it. I wonder if this is really an eyeliner.

It was affordable. The pearl effect was well-expressed and the color was pretty. I wanted to use it often, but it crumbles and breaks, so I might not be able to use it at all...?

It breaks easily, gets blunt quickly, and the amount is quite small. Those are the downsides.

The staying power is truly top-notch! It doesn't smudge or fade. I absolutely love it!

It looks absolutely stunning if you blend the eyeliner immediately after application! You have to do it right away, otherwise it won't blend properly.

The product quantity was disappointingly small. It's really, really minimal. The pencil breaks easily too. Not only is there barely any product, but it's also fragile. The blending isn't great either! I bought it specifically for blending, but it doesn't work well for that.

The brown shade with gold shimmer wasn't overwhelming and applied beautifully! It complemented my brown makeup look perfectly!

I open the cap and use an eyebrow brush to lightly scrape the eyeliner. The soft formula makes it easy to pick up and apply. It's also great for creating precise lines!

1. Cap issues.
The cap should close like a pen cap, but as mentioned above, the formula is so soft that if you close it incorrectly even once, it gets smashed...

2. Small amount
Although I bought it cheaply, the amount is incredibly small. If only this point were improved, it could be a holy grail eyeliner... That's disappointing.

1. Absorbs smoothly.
While it may not stand out compared to other products, it's great value for money. As I'll mention in the cons... it's so soft it's almost too creamy... extremely so.

2. Long-lasting.
As an eyeliner should be, it doesn't come off easily! That's a plus. When rubbed with fingers, the shimmer might smudge a bit... but that's totally fine. Completely okay. I like it.

First off, it smudges way too easily... and in the end, it's all about the shimmer? It's excessively shiny. Also, it doesn't seem to agree with my eyes, causing some tingling afterwards... The main issue is definitely the smudging, so I can't really recommend it.

It applies with a beautifully soft color payoff and has decent staying power.

Don't use it if you have moist eye areas.

It's a bit thick and heavy.
And it smears like crazy.
The waterproof effect is completely gone.
I bought it on sale, but I'm not using it because it smears.
My skin is oily and has a lot of oil and moisture, and even though I do powder touch-ups carefully, by evening it's smeared like the grim reaper... Horrible.

The color is deep and it applies smoothly without irritation.
It's easy to apply.
