What they flagged

Dries out quickly in the bottle

What the gurus are saying

The fine point and smooth application deliver precision and ease, and the warm brown shade lands as forgiving even for those less practiced with liquid liners. However, some found it dries out quickly, requiring frequent flipping and shaking to keep the formula flowing. If you've had issues with formulas that dry out mid-wear, testing this one first is smart before committing to regular use.

"I have found a liquid eyeliner pencil that is so easy to use and is really pigmented so it just takes a little touch. It's also got a very fine point on this so you can be very very precise. I bought this in the shade brown so it was a little bit softer on my 46 year old eye soon to be 47. This is the perfect strokes matte liquid liner and I love this. I've just applied it just on that outer edge. Very easy to apply and then connect to the dots. Nothing fussy, nothing too difficult. Very easy to do. Absolutely love it."

"I'm not a fan. It felt like it kept drying out really quickly. I had to keep flipping it upside down and shaking it out because it kept drying out very quickly. So I'm not a fan of the eyeliner."

"We are going to now go into this Perfect Strokes Matte Liquid Liner in the shade brown. I'm not the best liquid liner applier, but I'm hoping that this brown shade will be a little more forgiving. The brown seems nice. It's a nice like warm brown color. This is applying really well, though. I genuinely feel like I'm not the best with liquid liners, but it'll do."
