"The quality of the actual product is great, there are however, cons. The liner is a powder, so when you apply it, it will leave very-hard-to-get-off specks all over your cheeks. I think if the product were more moist, that issue could be resolved. It's just very tricky to use. I ended up using some paper under my lower lash line to help "catch" the falling specks but that's kind of a pain. I think a better idea would be to buy normal black eyeshadow, moisten the applicator and apply it. That's how I've always done it for a smokey effect."
