 Pretty but messy. November 9, 2008
I give it 3 stars - the problem is that no matter how much you "tap" the excess off, as soon as you touch your liner brush to the eye little specs of the powder fall on your cheeks. You go to wipe it off and no matter how gently you do it (q-tip, cotton ball, etc) it always leaves a dark smear. And you JUST finished doing your makeup. On the upside, because it's a powder liner it isn't harsh or goopy like a liquid liner, yet the color is very pigmented and makes a statement. I was surprised at how much color a powder liner could pack! (But note: this contributes to the problem of wiping off fallen specs of color.) Also, I find that halfway through the night I look in the mirror and there is an obvious and embarrassing streak near at least one, if not both, of my eyes (the powder obviously falls as you blink throughout the day/night). I do NOT overdo it either, my skin is light and I use very little makeup. Bottom line: I love using this product when I wet it ("foil technique") before application, but I seriously don't believe that anyone can use this product dry. It's impossible. Still, 3 stars because it looks awesome while wet. I also think the company really needs to find a better way to package the liners b/c it always gets all over the counter when handling it.
 Really good September 16, 2008

tiger's eye liner shadow September 3, 2008
This product is excellent. No running at all, although I recommend you put it on before your face products as I ALWAYS have some on my cheek after I put it on. With Bare Escentuals a very small amount goes a long way so a small amount can be quite dark. I really like that I'm done with makeup for the day within 10 minutes also.
Fabulous, and no allergies! July 17, 2008

Well, girls, here is a product we should all have in our makeup arsenal. I use a lot of the BE products but for a dark liner to line my lids I always used MAC fluidliners. They are excellent too, but I developed an allergy to them. So, I switched to BE Liner Shadow and I love it.
I am blonde with blue eyes, so I use "Bark;" not a great name for a beauty product but the perfect color for me. I have a double-ended Stila brush that I use with this liner. I use a can of Evian aerosol water (very cool product, BTW) and mist a little into the cap. Then I tap some of the liner onto the cap and mix it with the water, and then apply using the liner end of the brush. What you get is a nice, solid line.
Of course, most of us want to avoid the "Amy Winehouse" look, so then I use the blunt end of the brush to gently smudge the liner (after it's dry) for a softer edge. Presto! Instant smoky eye. This doesn't quite have the staying power of the MAC gel liner, but I think it is a more gentle, natural product and much better for my eyes.
BTW, I wear contacts, and the BE Liner Shadow doesn't bother my eyes at all. Bottom line: this product is a winner! It's cheap and a little goes a long way. It looks gorgeous too. Will re-purchase again & again!
Bare Escentuals liner June 24, 2008
Excellent product. The liner is easy to apply with the liner brush and stays put all day, even in humidity. I won't go back to traditional eyeliner.
