Product Results

Rating: 2 out of 5.

I originally bought this as a waterline pencil because finding a nude eyeliner was almost impossible in Japan until recently. It didn’t stick well to the waterline and didn’t last at all. I also tried using it as a concealer and it wouldn’t cover any of my acne. Using it as an eyeliner it caked under and on the lashes and rested in my wrinkles. I never did try it for contouring my nose or eyes, but from what I can tell the color is so thin and weak it wouldn’t make much difference. The price was high for the little amount you get. Overall, I highly don’t recommend you waste your money on this one and invest in another higher quality contouring product. Goodbye Kate and onto the next!
