What the gurus are saying

The brown shade earned praise for its warm tone and smooth application, even from someone who doesn't typically feel confident with liquid liners. However, one reviewer ran into a frustrating issue where the formula dried out quickly in the bottle, requiring constant shaking to get product out, though they noted this might have been a one-off dud rather than a consistent problem. That means if you pick one up and notice the same drying issue, it may be worth exchanging 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. I do think I've used it in the past and it was fine, so maybe I got a dud, I don't know."

"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."
