This was the first brow & eye liner I used. I wasn't really fond of this product. The actually "cream" or product kept breaking off while I was applying it so I would end up messing up or smudging a small area on my face. Whenever I applied this around my eyes, I would somehow get poked by a small shard of wood. It is a soft pencil good for smudging but not for anything else in my opinion. It was hard to sharpen because it would always brea. I think this product is cheaply built and it has poor quality. This should not be more than $2. I guess it true that you do get what you pay for.
