Almay Gel Eyeliner, Waterproof, Fade-Proof Eye Makeup, Easy-to-Sharpen Liner Pencil, 110 Rich Black, 0.045 Oz

safe for sensitive eyes
Looking for an eyeliner that scores “in the green” on EWG’s Skin Deep Database and found this brandAlmay All-Day Intense Gel Eyeliner. I have super-sensitive eyes and will have an allergic reaction to most eye make-up but have never had a problem with Almay eyeshadows or liners. Love the texture, color and staying power. It does smudge a bit on the lower lid but once the edges are cleaned up, it stays put all day without further smudging. It does require a sharpener. Sharpens easily with Revlon’s sharpener for all pencils (plastic/wood). “140 Deep Chestnut”=dark brown (but not too dark)

Requires Revlon Universal pencil sharpener sold separately
I have purchased the Almay Gel Liner multiple times. Overall, it is a great eyeliner. It goes on well and stays on without smudging. It is also easy to remove with eye makeup remover. Also, it is EWG verified.That said, I gave it 4 stars for two reasons. First, it contains some glitter which isn’t too noticeable but the glitter is difficult to remove. Even after I take off the eyeliner, there is still some glitter at the base of my eyelashes. Second, you need to purchase the Revlon Universal pencil sharpener because the outside casing on this pencil is plastic and regular eyeliner pencil sharpeners will not work. I’ve noticed that after I’ve used it a while and sharpened it down to about half of its original length, it seems to be a bit drier and harder to get a smooth line. So I end up tossing the last half of it. Thankfully, it is not very expensive, but I do not like wasting it.

Will you replace it
I like this stuff, but 2xs now the whole lead slides out of yhe pencil rendering it useless and a waste of money

You need to use a sharpener to get to the rest of the eyeliner in the pencil shaft
Ever since my cataract surgery I can’t use the eyeliner I used to use so I’ve been searching for one that doesn’t irritate my eyes. I love this one (blue color) but I thought I had received a defective one. The shaft of the pencil seemed to be plastic but I couldn’t turn the white plastic tip at the bottom of the pencil to advance the eyeliner as I used it. I ordered another one — same thing. So I called Almay and learned that the shaft is actually made of compressed paper and you need to use a sharpener to shave away the shaft, just like a wooden pencil. They sent me a free sharpener. Great product, lovely color, decent price now that I know how to sharpen it. You could probably use any eyeliner sharpener, you don’t need their brand specifically, but I thought it was very generous of them to send me one. I suggested that they make it clearer on the package that you need to sharpen it to get to the rest of the product. She said it’s on there but I don’t see it and I see that a lot of other reviewers are also confused.

Small in size but very nice and easy glide pencil

Buena consistencia al aplicarlo, color intenso y buen tiempo de duración.

Buen producto, pero el problema es cuando la punta se empieza a acabar, le he sacado punta y ya no queda “puntiagudo”, queda totalmente redonda por más que le saque punta (tuve que usar un sacapuntas grande y sólo recortar la orilla).Pigmenta bien, no se corre y dura todo el día, sólo si quieren un delineado muy fino sería cosa de hacerla con otra brocha o difuminar a parte (porque al acabarse el pico será muy difícil volver a conseguir la punta como al principio).
