I simply love these pencils. I have three of them. This product is easy to apply, goes on smoothly leaving a nice dark line with just one stroke unlike other pencils u have to reapply a couple of times to get the desired shade u want. It also has a nice soft tip so it wont poke your eyes so it can be used in your car on the way to work. They can also be used to smudge for those gorgeous smoky eyes.:)
