The Black Orb Enigmatic Kohl Eyeliner casts the deepest shadows, and smokes out into the darkest gaze. This cruelty-free formula is richly pigmented, deep, moody, and dramatic, and can be worn in a wide range of applications. Its mysterious jar invites creativity and allows for greater flexibility in application styles and techniques versus a pencil eyeliner. If you have searched as we did for the perfect inky, moody, dramatic kohl eyeliner, this may move you as much as it does us.
HOW TO APPLY
The Black Orb Enigmatic Kohl Eyeliner is neither gel nor powder, and its crème formula behaves with different properties. We recommend using your favorite brushes for application. For a winged eyeliner look, or a soft cat eye, we recommend an angled liner brush. To create a lived-in smoky look, apply with a smudge brush and diffuse out with a soft-bristled shadow brush like The Eye Soot Brush. With just a bit of practice, it can also be applied with fingertips for a smudgy, smoky and perfectly imprecise application.
The Black Orb is formulated to set without a harsh dry down. To best allow the film former to work its magic, we recommend applying in thin layers to allow the product to set, rather than doing a heavy single application. However, The Black Orb remains workable, which allows for a more forgiving application. The nonvolatile formula also ensures gentle wear on the delicate skin around your eyes. If you have hooded or extremely oily lids, you may wish to dust a layer of translucent powder on top after application to lock it in further.

Lovely product
I may not always just use it as a eyeliner, mostly i smudge it out to get "my eyebags but better" because of the lack of. It's kohl so longevity isn't expected, but it can last if you set it. It blends very nicely and it's easy to make a wing or a smokey eye. Pigement is okay, it's buildable.
The packaging is visually stunning and unique, and the product itself is heavenly to use. Absolutely amazing product!
Pleasantly surprised
I thought this in a whim and was a little hesitant when I first received it. My misgivings soon vanished! I was so worried that the red would be TOO red, but it’s a really flattering color. It gives an instantly badass look, and makes my eyes look incredibly green!
Pure Decadence
Finally, a true blood red eyeliner that doesn't lean burgundy/purple! Applies easily and stays put, only fading slightly after a long day of wear. Iron is a little more finicky than Abyss as far as coverage, but it still doesn't take much effort to make it opaque. I love how it contrasts with my dark brown eyes and also enjoy it as a lip color, especially when topped with Cygnus Gelée Eye Gloss.
