The product is slim, making it great for detailed drawing, and the longevity is really good.
Cons
The body is small, so the grip feels uncomfortable, and it draws stiffly.

Pros
I purchased the product because it was said to not bleed, but I felt that the pigmentation was better than the longevity.
Cons
It bled too much, so I felt it was not great... And it felt like it was used up quickly.

Pros
Hello, I'm Jinheum-ja❤️ I was keeping an eye on this slim black eyeliner product! And the Olive Young employee also recommended this product, so I immediately purchased it!!! There's no smudging, and the lasting power and color payoff are great~~ Especially since the price is affordable, the cost-effectiveness is the best!!
Cons
There's a slightly stiff feeling when applying it~ I'm a bit worried it might break since it's so thin~ And it's really slim and small, so I feel like I might easily lose it~

Pros
The staying power is really good!!! The price is also very affordable and it blends in naturally on the eyes, so it was great. I was especially surprised that the staying power is much better than most eyeliners. I was very worried because my eyes tend to smudge easily, but it was even better than I imagined!!♡♡I can see the power of Muji.
Cons
There doesn't seem to be anything bad about it. I don't have anything to say other than it's just really good.

Pros
•Longevity The longevity was quite good, lasting over 7 hours, which was longer than I expected! :) •Smudging There was hardly any smudging when I applied it. Even though I rub my eyes a lot due to my rhinitis, it didn't smudge at all! As long as you don't scrub it too hard, it doesn't seem to smudge. •Glide The glide was just about right. The eyeliner I used before was quite stiff, but this Merzy eyeliner has good glide.
Cons
•Amount The amount seemed a bit lacking, which was a bit disappointing considering the price. :( •Breakage The breakage was quite severe, it broke quite easily. :(

Pros
1. Easy to Apply As a clumsy person, I have a hard time drawing a sharp eyeliner with a brush pen, but this product is so easy to use! It's a must-have for clumsy people like me...haha 2. Thin Application The reason I used to use brush pens is that gel eyeliners tend to apply thicker compared to them, but this product seems to apply quite thinly! 3. Incredible Staying Power It's so waterproof that you can even wear it for swimming. But this can also be a downside, as the eyeliner tends to remain even after cleansing...haha. Anyway, it's great!
Cons
1. Prone to Smudging Since I have oily eyelids, even after applying a primer, there was quite a bit of smudging around the inner corner of my eyes. Those with less oily skin may not have this issue. 2. Small Quantity The amount of product is really, really small. It feels like I've used up a lot of it already, even though I haven't been using it for long. 3. Easily Breakable The thinness that I mentioned as a positive point seems to also make it quite fragile. I've broken it about once every 3 times I've used it, even without applying too much pressure. You need to be very gentle when using it.

Pros
As a reference, it is a combination skin with a bit of oiliness and double eyelids, but it cannot defy gravity and cannot withstand the passage of time, so it is close to a single eyelid. And I am wearing glasses. Sometimes I draw just the outer corner of the eye, and sometimes I fill in the mucous membrane. 1. The spreadability is very creamy and applies smoothly without irritation. 2. The staying power is not bad. 3. Cleansing is also well done, but I recommend using an eye and lip remover. (I'm using the cleansing water from Reduire and the eye and lip remover from Pond's, and while it's somewhat removed with the water, when I wipe it again with the eye remover, there are quite a few residual black eyeliner traces.) 4. The color payoff is also clear and good. With a single eyelid close to double and glasses on.. My small eyes looked even smaller, but they don't look sleepy because of the clarity. 5. It's thin, so it's easy to draw the outer corner of the eye. 6. It doesn't fall off like a film or powder.
Cons
1. The amount is a bit disappointing... 2. It varies, but if you have a similar skin type and eye condition as me, it might smudge a bit if you commute from morning to evening. That's what happened to me. I thought it was mascara, but it wasn't. Now that I'm writing this in the winter, it might smudge even more in the summer... The photo is taken about 8 hours after makeup. Refer to 1 and 2 for the degree of smudging, and 3 for the maintenance of the line. I didn't use an eye primer, just powder. If you see a grayish color, it's not a shadow or dark circles, but a trace of the eyeliner smudging. The under-eye area has just gotten a bit darker. And the line remained clear. It varies, so just for reference~ (Unintended gross photo due to the periorbital puffiness, sorry;;ㅎ)

Pros
The longevity is good. (Applying powder makes the longevity even better) It draws smoothly. And being thin, it can be used to draw delicate lines, unlike a pencil. Some people say it breaks easily, but that can be avoided by using it with just about 1mm exposed. I previously used the Missha Slim Pencil Liner, and this one is even thinner but with a slightly higher hardness, making it better for detailed drawing. The longevity also seems better. I'm not sure about smudging, as I always use powder, so I don't really know. With powder application, it hardly smudges! I can't say for sure about the cost-effectiveness since I haven't used it fully, but based on 2 weeks of use, it's good. I'll stock up on it during sales!
Cons
The packaging is thin and long, making it difficult to find and take out from a pouch...? It's small, so it's hard to see. But since the pencil itself is thin, the packaging being thin is understandable. The color payoff is also not extremely vivid! But it's not unsatisfactory either. The Missha one was thicker and softer, so it had better color payoff. But I'll buy the Lioele one again next time.
Tip
Don't stubbornly try to draw the tail in one sharp stroke. Even if it comes out a bit blunt, you can use your fingernail to lightly swipe the end part, like using a brush pen.

Pros
1. Cost-effectiveness It's so cheap but the product quality is amazing!! The cost-effectiveness is incredible 💖 2. No smudging I used to use the Kate one, which is a Japanese product, and it would smudge a lot, so I switched to this one and the lines stay crisp and clear without smudging!!! 3. Long-lasting The longevity is also amazing.. 👍 4. Slim The slim design allows me to draw precise lines ❤❤ 5. Smoothness.. It goes on so smoothly ㅋㅋㅋㅌ and draws beautifully!
Cons
There's nothing disappointing ㅠㅠㅠ You should definitely buy it.. Highly recommended ❤❤
Tip
Some say it breaks easily, but that might be because I use it down to the nub. I haven't had any issues with it breaking for me, but you should still use it sparingly..

Pros
👍Lasting Power The lasting power is very good! After learning about this product, I no longer need to do touch-up makeup. It was unfazed even when I played in the water, and I'll share the waterproof makeup tips in the tips section below! 👍Slimness The Ara pencil is very thin and slim, making it perfect for filling in the corners or lining the inner rim. 👍No Smudging As long as you don't rub it too hard right away, there's no smudging. 👍Portability The small and thin size means it fits easily into even a small handbag, and of course, it fits well in a pouch. 👍Glide It applies so smoothly and softly without irritating the delicate eye area. Normally, pencil liners can get stiff and hard to apply over time as the eyeshadow builds up, but this liner doesn't have that problem, which I really appreciated! 👍Color I purchased the black and brown shades. The black has great pigmentation, so a single swipe can create a very sharp, defined eye look. The brown is perfect for an everyday liner - it's very natural and soft-looking, so I tended to use the brown color more often.
Cons
👎Breakage Since it is quite thin and soft, it tends to break easily. Even though the capacity is already small, it's heartbreaking when it breaks and has to be discarded. This part can be resolved by not removing too much of the liner at once, but taking it out little by little when drawing. This liner's advantage is that it draws smoothly, so users just need to be careful in controlling the pressure when using it. 👎Capacity It's too small...even considering the price, it's small. It's almost used up within a month, so it's better to stock up when there are sales! I bought it during a 6,000 won 1+1 event at Olive Young. I recommend watching out for such events! 💕I have used many pencil liners so far, and this is the one I like the most and has the best lasting power, so I have a 100% intention to repurchase!💕
Tip
⚠️Waterproof Makeup Technique Using Merzy Slim Gel Liner⚠️ 1. Touch the area where the eyeline will be drawn with a shadow to remove excess oil. 2. Fill in the waterline and draw the tail with the Merzy Slim Gel Liner. 3. After 1-2 minutes (to dry the gel liner), redraw the tail part with a brush pen liner. This way of drawing the eyeliner won't smudge all day and you won't need to retouch your makeup! I was really amazed to see that it stayed the same even after water activities!👍
