I purchased the shade warm brown. It applied very smoothly and the pencil itself was very soft and not harsh at all on my eyelid. If you want to smudge it to achieve your look, you have to do it very quickly right after applying as it dries very quickly. Smudge resistant like the description says, but this product also comes off with plain water very easily. Re-application is probably necessary if you have watery eyes. Use with a primer for best results.

I really like this eyeliner because it goes on really smooth and it does not irritate my eyes especially when wearing my contacts. Bonus it's all natural and from a cruelty-free company which is very important to me. In photo midnight gray eyeliner with Burt's Bees nourishing mascara classic black.

This is a smooth, lovely eyeliner! I would love it so much it it were available in purple as well...

I have blue eyes and the grey color of the pencil suits them like nothing else before. It makes my eyes pop up but without being overwhelming. It is easy to apply and doesn't smudge easily. The only problem I have had is with sharpening it

This is my first natural-type eyeliner, and I'll be using this from now on. It is as advertised not 100% smudge-proof, as it did smudge and fade a bit after a bike ride, but that is a trade-off I'm willing to make for a natural product. Soft black is indeed soft and maybe even brownish-black under some lights. It's easy to apply and fix mistakes. It works best over a primer.

Within 2 weeks of using this, twice I had small pimple like blemishes occur on my waterline, more on the inside of my lid. I have never had that happen, and after I stopped using, it has not happened again. I do not use eyeliner on my waterline. As an eyeliner, it went on well and looked good, but disappeared by the end of the work day.

I love pencil type of eyeliner for its soft and natural line than liquid type. But I failed on my eye with literally most pencil eyeliners from super expensive one to drug store item. I'm Asian and I have less fat on my eye lids but obviously hooded as typical Asian so every time when I tried with pencil eyeliner I became gross-smudged black gradation around my eyes even with primer, base, shadow, etc. So I had a same doubt about this item but I just bought it for test since it is not expensive and I test on my 100% bare face without any primer, foundation, shadow, etc and wait for 7 hours. Wow, the result is unexpected and amazing! Of course there's minor gradation of smudged but it's totally fine and in fact there is NO 100%-free-smudge pencil. Since this test was on the pure bare face I can expect almost perfect look with full make-up with primer, base, shadows. This is the perfect pencil eyeliner with reasonable price and 100% natural ingredients even!

I am very pleased with this natural eyeliner, which I bought in Soft Black. In the past I wore green or purple liner because they look nice with hazel eyes, but I wanted to try a neutral this time. I was worried that black would look too dark and harsh, but my lashes and brows are black, so I tried it. This black is soft and flattering; I love the way it looks.

I was so excited to see you offered this in a charcoal colors and I love that it has l these wonderful natural ingredients. Unfortunately, I cannot use this product. For some reason, it drys my eyes out and I never have dry eyes. Every time I use this, my eyes feel dry and I have tested it multiple times over months during every type of weather. I don't understand why this happens but I will say this is the first natural eyeliner I have purchased so maybe that is the way they are. Its not for me which is unfortunate.

The feel of the eyeliner is fine, but I don't get as much coverage as I thought I would get. It takes more strokes than what I do for my old eyeliner pencil from Revlon. I like how this is more natural, but I can't use it for a quick makeup.
