Michael Marcus Makeup Cake Eye Liner & Eyeliner Brush (Amethyst) - Water Activated Dry Pressed, Long-Lasting & Smudge Resistant Eyeliner - Cruelty & Paraben Free - For Beginner & Pro Makeup Artist

I have struggled finding an eyeliner I like for years. Gel eyeliner always goes on unevenly and I’ve tried the pot type of liner you apply with a brush and similar issue, the texture just made it hard to apply evenly. So then I tried liquid liners but the accuracy required was beyond me besides how hard it was to get low enough on the lash line so I didn’t have a line of skin tone showing below the liner. I gave up for a long time and just used mascara but really just wanted something to tint the outside edge of my eyes for a liiiitle more definition, I don’t have very thick lashes as is. I had totally forgotten about cake eyeliner and randomly remembered that I used to just use eyeshadow this way sometimes. Did a quick amazon search and decided on this one a little arbitrarily (partially because it came with a brush) but tried it as soon as I opened the package and I love it. The application is even and smooth and the brown color is perfect to give some definition without being too dramatic.

I absolutely love this cake liner!! Used Clinique before they discontinued for the second time. I was thrilled to find this Marcus brand.The cake liner is amazing. Long lasting and so easy to apply.The only thing I’d like it to have is a cover for the bristle/brush part to keep it clean after rinsing it out. And maybe an option for a bit smaller handle.

Loved the eyeliner. The color was a perfect muted brown. I did not like the brush. I like a natural not a synthetic. I used an artist #4 pony hair brush and it works beautifully. I used Clinique liner for over 20 years and this product is the closest except for the brush.

This is the BEST cake eyeliner I have found since the Clinque brand discontinued making cake eyeliner. Tiny bit of water on the brush and it goes on perfectly. Lasts all day! I wish they sold this without the brush. I use my own fine point brush with a shorter handle.

Easy to apply and nice color, but really lacked staying power for me compared to my discontinued Clinique liner. It flaked off and smudged along lower lash line in about 4 hours.

I used this eyeliner yesterday and first of all, it was truly difficult using the brush which is far toooo long and not necessary. The eyeliner went on easily and when I came home, I looked in a mirror and I looked like an owl with smudging above and below my eyes. It claims it is smudge resistant which is false advertising. I reported this to Amazon and rec'd a refund. Now I have to search for another eyeliner that lives up to its claim. I loved the Clinique cake water-resistant eyeliner that was discontinued and wish they would bring it back.

I am old school, have been using cake eye liner and brush for more than 50 years because I can get whatever line I want. It hasn’t always been easy to find because newer products are more popular with many who never used cake. I have tried a few and Michael Marcus is the best I have found. I use Kohl black and the color is true, it applies smoothly and makes a perfect line. It lasts all day with no smudging. The brush that comes with it makes it easy to try if you are new to cake.

Eyeliner is nice but Comes with the wrong kind of applicator brush!!
