I do love this pencil - it's creamy and applies great - HOWEVER, It does poorly on my inner rim. The color doesn't show up as intense and it fades quickly.

If you're looking for a good inner rim liner I highly recommend Smashbox Jet Set Liner. It glides on effortlessly, the color is intense, it stays put all day without wearing away and it makes your eyes pop!

I would not use this pencil on the inner eye / waterline. It is very hard to get off and would need some eye makeup remover and some rubbing to get it off. This would cause major eye irritation.

I used it on my inner rim and it faded but it did not entirely disappear. It didnt smudge on me either. I like this eyeliner alot and it works great on my waterline.

This doesn't last one my waterline. It shows up, but after a little while it starts to fade. If you want something fantastic to line your waterline with, I highly recommend the Guerlain eye kohl. It looks a bit frightening, but once you get the application with a stylus down it's amazing. I hope this helps!

Aqua Eyes is a waterproof eye pencil and is gel based rather than a traditional pencil. It is creamy and goes on smoothly, but does need to set-up for a few seconds to become waterproof and smudge proof. If your eye rims do not "tear up" or "water" when you apply you'll be fine.

It definitely is safe to use on the inner rim, waterline, of the eyes. Dany created both her eyeliners and lipliners that way. Due to the creative nature of her work, both products can be used interchangeably. It most definitely stays all day!!!! I also love Smashbox Jet Set liners!

I always use the eyeliner inside my lashline, but it does wear off slightly after awhile so if you want your eyeliner to look really heavy keep it with you for touch ups.

Actually no. It stays better than any other line I have had, and it stays in my top inner rim fine, but the wet bottom inner rim wears away a bit over the day. Stays perfectly just above and at my lash line though.

I have oily-combination skin. A product I love is the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer "Potion". You'll never see it and your eye makeup lasts all day.

My suggestion for colour would be anything almost - blue, green purple -- you'd be surprised what you can get away with.

I always go for Plum colors. They are beautiful. I like the ones with shimmer. They will make your eyes stand out. Don't use blue, green or anything in-between. Enjoy.

Make Up Forever's Aqua Eyes liner stays on pretty well. They have a good selection of colors however you might have to test out the greens as some may be too bright for what your looking for. Another great thing is that you can blend them in with a brush to mute out some of the color or even use it as a shadow.

Deep Earthy Green or Plum purple! Will bring the green out and brighten up your eyes!

Hi, I love this product. I am 59 also and find Make Up For Ever to do wonders for me. It stays and stays. I apply it right up to my lash line so it doesn't look like I have on too much. I would suggest the green with the bronze in it, the purple black, and black is always a good one if you want drama. Sometimes I use the darker blue pencel also. Good luck!

I have hazel eyes and i'm a fan of the Makeup Forever Aqua eyes in black. Use it for the inner lower lid and it makes the eyes pop a bit.

I have blue-grey eyes and dark blonde hair with light skin/ a "cool" complexion and I don't think that brown looks very flattering on me. Black sounds like it would be too dark on you.
I would try either the goldish color, a navy blue, or a grey. Because you have green in your eyes, a green might look nice too.

Don't use black. If theres anything I hate it's people who wear black eyeliner on really fair skin and it looks horrid. use brown.

Black looks great on anyone. You cant go wrong there but the shimmering plum color they offer would also compliment your look. Have fun trying em all on!

They say the best to bring out your color eyes is the color that is directly across the color wheel. For instance I think blue is brown. I am not sure what the other two are.

Try pearly brown, it's very flattering.

First you will need to invest in a good eyepencil sharpener that will do for standerd size pencils. I use my Mary kay eyeliner sharpener and it works great fof everything. If you want to get a sharpener on the site than go for Urban Decays Grind House eyeliner sharpener.

Buying pencil sharpeners is a little like playing russian roulette. So quit guessing and try Tarte's pencil sharpener. I bought it specificlly for this sharpener and it works great. It's also self-contained- so the shavings don't go everywhere. And get this- it's only two bucks!

when I bought this pencil the SA told me to buy the sharpener from make up forever specifically made for this pencil.. she said that due to what ever this pencil is made of, regular sharpeners will just eat it up.
hope this helped!!
p.s. its not super expensive and its quite a nice sharpener.. works for any pencil!

The Make Up Forever Sharpener works best with these pencils. It is worth buying as it's extra sharp and works great with other pencils (regular and jumbo... it has 2 holes) as well. It will sharpen without wasting away the pencil

get a sharper sharpener... i've never had problems. when my roommate bought the eyeliner for the first time she was confused because she thought it looked like it was a retractable pencil, but it's not!

Yes, it really is. It is the most waterproof eyeliner that I have ever used. Others claim to be waterproof but it's not really true. This is the only eyeliner that I know that has water-resistant properties, trust me.

Not exactly, because when I put it on my lower lids its runs like after 5 hours and when i rub it with water it comes off. The weird thing is that when the girl at sephora did the test on my hand it wouldn't come off even with water.. totally don't get it because I need it to stay on my lower rims but doesn't.

It's the most waterproof thing I have ever used- stays on through crying and sleeping- no raccoon eyes at all. It washes off easily with Philosophy Purity cleanser.

Not really after 4 hours you will see it start to run even if you are not doing anything major. I wouldn't waste my $ on this again.

I don't find it to be water proof. Water resistent, maybe. Does a better job of lasting all day then other pencils -so based on that, I'd recommend it.

I would not use this pencil on the inner eye / waterline. It is very hard to get off and would need some eye makeup remover and some rubbing to get it off. This would cause major eye irritation.

I have never come across an eyeliner that I didnt use in my waterline. This is no exception. It went easily in my waterline and it faded instead of entirely disappearing.

While I can't say whether or not the manufacturer would say it is "safe" for the inner rim of the eye, I have used it for this and had no problems. As with any other eyeliner, you must keep it clean and sharpen often and do not share with anyone- not even your BFF. This is the only way to ensure that it is "safe."

Most definitely!!!! Make Up For Ever is an artistry line so most of their products are safe just about anywhere!

I always put this eyeliner inside the lashline and i have contacts, but i've never had a problem. since it doesn't come off during the day you probably won't either.

With a cosmetics eyeliner sharpener.

I have an eye-pencil sharpener that I purchased at a beauty supply store. Make sure you get one that will accomodate pencils of different sizes so that you don't have to buy more than one. I only use it to sharpen eye pencils and I clean it regularly, and it works great. Good luck!

I just bought a cheap eyliner sharpener and it worked just fine. These sharpen better than most eyeliners.

I just use a regular eye liner sharpener

I use this on my waterline with pretty good results so far. Lasts longer than most eyeliners I've tried inc. MAC khol, Lancome khol, even Urban Decay Glide On for me. I ALWAYS wipe/blot my waterline first because the actual name for the waterline is meibomian glands. Of all things, the waterline produces sebum (an oily substance) which is why the line is naturally oily. I know that I shouldn't be covering the waterline with makeup, but I suppose vanity is a factor here. The waterline has specific "duties" to protect the eye. And that's why many ophthalmologists would cringe at us doing this. I have read some liners where it said ophthalmology tested, but for exactly what part of the eyelid? If you notice getting stye eyes, chalazions, or infections along the waterline and you do line them, I'd discontinue lining that area altogether. For what it's worth....

Personally I would not use this liner on my inner eye. It is waterproof and very hard to get off. You would have to use makeup remover on your inner eye area and rub it off causing irritation.

I have never tried an eyeliner that I did not use on my waterline. I even use liquid liner on my waterline. (Be VERY careful if you try this.) I wore Aqua Eyes on my waterline and it lasted pretty good with some fading. It does stay great on my upper lid too. Never be afraid to line your inner rim.

I use Aqua Eyes as a liner both on my eyelid and on my inner lid - I am a contact lense wearer and it doesn't irritate my eyes at all and lasts all day!

I'm Asian, too and I don't like these at all. Urban Decay's 24/7 pencils are much better. They go on really smoothly, unlike the Aqua Eyes (it kept tugging at my eyelid) and last throughout the day.

This liner is not waterproof by my experience. I have the same problem as you with the "racoon eyes", so I guess we both have to keep looking. I am sending this back to Sephora.

I don't think this one will do that on you, as it's not greasy like other pencils, yet goes on smoothly. it stays in place on me whereas others tend to disappear or smear.

These are great but what you should do is before you make up your eyes apply a layer of pressed/ translucent power under your eyes across the cheek bone. Apply your eye makeup then lightly dust the powder off.

I have hazel eyes & purples really bring out the green in them. My husband always says my eyes look really pretty.

My eyes are hazel and I use a bronzy brown for daytime/natural look, and teal (12L) for a more fun or going-out look. The teal brings out the green flecks in my eye color and makes my eyes pop.

blue tone

for hazel, a lot of colors work

black, always classic/classy
deep blues
deep greens,
deep browns
golds/metallics

and if you are daring, try a rich purple. that would be really pretty for an evening look.

pretty much any color found in your eyes will work.

hope that helped!
