I absolutely love this liner! I've tried some others, and this one is by far the best I've tried. The applicator is not a brush as much as a cone shaped sponge. This is a good thing, since a brush can get feathery, or a bristle can go haywire while you're applying, making a bit of a mess. This applicator is solid, but yields well. It's not too thin, causing me to have to apply line after line. One or two strokes, and I'm done. It also dries pretty quickly.
The best thing for me though, is that it lasts all day, and doesn't flake even in the tiniest amount. Love it.
