Long-Lasting

Don't extend too much product during each use!
It runs out faster than expected, and the price point isn't particularly attractive.

I bought two of these, but despite being careful not to extend too much product at once to prevent breakage due to its thinness, I encountered issues. When trying to retract the liner, it wouldn't go back in, and later it stopped coming out altogether. As a result, I barely used one of the two I purchased before it became unusable. While Cl×o's waterproof liner does smudge a bit under the eyes after some time, this product not only smudges but also leaves some unsightly residue as it wears off.

I used to only use Cl×o eyeliner, but after watching a YouTuber's eyeliner comparison video, I decided to give this one a try. It's slimmer than Cl×o's, making it perfect for drawing clean lines at the inner corners and outer edges of the eyes.
Once applied, the staying power is pretty good unless you rub it immediately!

Sometimes it doesn't apply smoothly. Also, be careful not to extend it too much as it might break.

They say it has pearl, but it's not noticeable. Just think of it as a nice, neutral brown shade.

It's not exactly firm, so it occasionally breaks while I'm applying it. That's the most disappointing part!

Among pencil eyeliners, this one had the least smudging! After using brush-tip liners for so long, I switched to this pencil for a more natural look.

No downsides to mention
An excellent product that delivers both quality and value for money

Great value for money and above-average product performance

To be honest, I think most eyeliners are pretty similar
If you're not looking for the trendy light shades that are popular these days
Merzy seems to be a great choice in terms of affordability

It doesn't even smudge, which is impressive

The only downside is that being ultra-slim, the product quantity is really small. That's why I usually stock up on two or three at a time.

Color: Brown Quartz is a cool deep brown-khaki shade. On the back of the hand, you can see tiny gold pearl particles, but they're barely noticeable when applied to the eyes. It really defines the eyes, which I'm very pleased with.

Texture, Application, and Pigmentation: The eyeliner has a medium to hard texture, but it glides on smoothly without irritating or scratching the eye area. Despite being ultra-slim, it rarely breaks, so you can use it until the end if you only extend the right amount. I'm very satisfied with this. The pigmentation is also good, delivering full color in one stroke.

Longevity: It doesn't smudge, so the staying power is excellent. Some creamy eye pencils tend to smear easily due to eye area oils or tears, but the Merge slim, with its harder texture, maintains a clean line all day long without smudging, even on my monolids. I'm extremely satisfied. I've tried high-end brands like Cha*, Bobby Br*, Di*, and M*, which all smudged, but Merge doesn't, so I keep repurchasing it.

Since it's quite thin, it seems to break easily. After using it a few times, some product waste starts to come out.

The application and staying power are quite nice. The color is also lovely.

You need to extend the pencil very little at a time as it tends to break easily, unfortunately.

The Merge eyeliner I always use is truly amazing. It doesn't smudge at all, it's easy to apply, and creates a nice thin line. It's been a game-changer after using gel eyeliners with brushes.

Whether the quantity was too small or it broke easily, the usage period was disappointingly short.

As expected from a popular product, it worked well for my warm skin tone. Despite my extremely oily skin, I don't recall it smudging even after long wear.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but it breaks every time I use it. It seems to crumble or snap more often than I can actually apply it.

It's thin and compact, making it perfect for carrying in your purse. It even fits into tiny bags! The subtle shimmer doesn't overpower, so the color is quite nice.

I've included a thickness comparison shot with the Merzy The First Gel Eyeliner for reference.

While I'm truly satisfied with the color, I'm puzzled by the inclusion of shimmer. Why add shimmer to an eyeliner? I'd prefer it without the sparkle.

First off, it's incredibly thin, making it easy to fill in the waterline. I was initially concerned about the shimmer, but it's surprisingly subtle - that's a win! The slim, lightweight design makes it perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. In the second photo, you can see the result after applying, waiting a minute, then rubbing in one direction with my finger. It's fascinating how it only removes from the surface without smudging.

There's nothing I dislike about it. It's so great, I'll definitely keep using it!

It applies smoothly and I love how slim it is. There's also a subtle shimmer when applied, which is really nice.

With the embedded gold flecks, I think it could add a nice accent as an eyeliner for a brown makeup look.

Nothing really. Hmm... It's slim, but that might mean there's a bit less product..?

Love it! I originally wanted to buy shade 3, but it was out of stock so I got shade 4 instead. It's fantastic! There are tiny gold flecks embedded in it, so if you do a muted eye look, it could even appear khaki. The gold specks make me think it would look beautiful if you drew stars on your face for a festival.
