Kajal Ink Artist 01 Eyeliner (1,5N Neutral)

When the Tea House came in stock I could not buy it fast enough! It is my absolute go to-favorite, favorite brown color. ~ I have been using these since they came out. I have use the Plum Blossom, Birodo Green ... which I love and layer with the Plum Blossom sometimes, and Kabuki White, Sumi Sky and Gunjo Blue. I love the texture and the blend ability. ~ The critiques of not being able to get it back to a point with the "sharpener" are true, but I work with it to get the look I want, and use the smudge tip just fine. Honestly, I will cry if they discontinue Tea House. It really is the perfect brown color for my blue eyes.

I love the silky smoothness and especially light weight feeling as the color glides on to my skin. The longevity of the sultry color is impressive! I can get a thin or thick line fairly easily. Love the spongy on the end for smudging, excellent quality. I purchased Lilac Lotus, which I absolutely love (my husband says makes my eyes look amazingly blue), and the Tea House. i am definitely adding Kabuki White, Sumi Sky and Plumb Blossom to my collection and because I love the LB will add on another for back up. I could not be more pleased with the InkArtist color system. I use it with the Aura Dew Luna and Cosmic.

I have the shade tea house which is a warm brown and Im finding it a versatile addition to my make up collection. Its perfect as a soft eyeliner for when I dont need a dramatic look and can be blended out as an eyeshadow also. Its super soft so isnt great on the waterline - something to bear in mind but not an issue for me personally. I even use it on my eyebrows! All around a fantastic multitasker of a product!

I like the consistency of the pigment a lot, but mine immediately broke. The cap is on so tight that you can't open it gently, you have to use some force. While opening the cap the whole tip got knocked off the first time I wanted to use it. And sadly Shiseido has not yet bothered to reply to either of my emails about it.

I first tried Nippon Noir (black) and then went back for all of the colors. They are all sensational with amazing pigment. Is it a big eyeliner crayon? Yes. Use a liner brush if you want a thinner line. The smudger on the end is my fave!Makes a smokey eye easy peasy. Shiseido Kajal InkArtist - Shadow, Liner, Brow

I purchased the white for use in my waterline daily based on reviews and it did not disappoint. Deposited consistent pigment on the waterline and lasted for a few hours. A bit pricey but one of the better liners I've used for this purpose.

I bought this eyeliner and liked it until it needed to be sharpened. This eyeliner comes with a built in sharpener that does not work at all. In fact, the eyeliner will just break in the sharpener. Like a previous reviewer commented, I tried again and the sharpener broke the eyeliner once again. I paid $25 to use it a handful of times until it got dull, then the sharpener literally sawed off the eyeliner and now I barely have any eyeliner stick left. Please fix the sharpener design or create a product that can be sharpened with a regular sharpener.

I tested this liner out on one of the hottest and most humid days of the year and already love it. I bought two colors, red and blue--both are colorful yet elegant colors that lasted well on my oily lower and upper lash lines. The Kajal InkArtists are oil-resistant, yet can be mostly washed off with soap and water. The cap to my liners were not hard to remove, but per reviews, I treated the liner more gently. If I placed the cap back on without care, I made a dent on the liners. I also sharpened the pencil to test, but did not jam the kajals in, and shaved off the sides with a touch of pressure. Lines are easy to smoke out but these do not work as all-over lid shadow for me. They are liners, not shadow sticks--especially after they are exposed to air and firm up a bit.
