This is one of the very best eyeliners I have used in my life. You can do so much with it in terms of eyeliner. Smudgy, smoky, liquid look, bold lines, thin lines, finger smudges, you name it lol. If you have the right brushes you can do anything with this stuff. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not the only eyeliner I use. But I wouldn't be unhappy or feel like I was missing something if it was. (as long as I was supplied with the proper brushes). The makeup I use from Rituel de Fille has changed the game. I can't always carry around makeup to do fix ups. I work in mail sorting warehouse and it's nice to be able to fix my makeup in the bathroom with my fingers real quick. Everything will pretty much re smudge back to where it was if it moved. Plus touch ups don't make things look cakey if you do have your fix up kit on you. This is a great liner though. It does not disappoint. Just don't forget to get yourself a few different types of nice eyeliner brushes if you don't already have them. Well an eyeliner brush and some short bristled brushes. Or whatever you find works for you. Rituel de Fille seems to be pretty great as an all around versatile cosmetic (and skincare) company.

Both my wife and I use this and love it. If you like it smoky and messy this is for you. Smudges well without migrating all over the face but sets well with some powder. Applies smoothly with a brush. We also use our fingers to apply it like a cream shadow. Does crease when used this way but easily fixed by tapping it out with a finger. If not set or applied heavily it will run under the usual conditions of heat, humidity, sweating, oily face, etc. I like the way it wears over longer periods because it does that kind of melting in where it sheers out but isn't running down your face. Looks very grunge, very lived in. Doesn't burn or irritate my eyes and feels like I have nothing on. Great as a stand alone product for a messy, simple look. Would make a fantastic "guyliner"

This is my first Black Orb eyeliner (Dusk) and based on other reviews it may be different than the others but it does require some work. You have to work the brush in the pot back and forth before you can get a good solid amount on the brush to apply without being patchy. It may be the kohl that makes it seem dry at first? Once it's on it's pretty but it doesn't last all day. I just don't know if I like this formula and would buy again.

I love my orb. The pigment is very strong but creamy and blends well. Gorgeous earthen red. I use brushes to apply then my finger to smooth. Mostly for my eyes, but sometimes lips with the addition of gloss.

A little bit goes a long way, so apply cautiously until you figure out how much works for you. It does collect in the crease of the eyelid after a while, but blends back easily with a fingertip.

I struggle with eyeliner as I was born with oily skin, which fights everything. My go-to for a long time was KVD tattoo liner but the change in formula meant it dried out quickly and flaked off. I had good luck with Bobbi Brown but the limited palette was frustrating. This is the right color for my aesthetic, applies easily with a brush, I can even get a good cat eye out of it. It holds as well as anything, I can go to a show and it'll stay put for at least 4 hours, which is the best I'm able to get with skin like Teflon. Easy to work with.
