Finally someone has invented a way where you do not need two eyeliners to make your eyes dramatic. Tarte’s Tartiest Double Take 12 Hour Eyeliner has a pencil at one end and a waterproof liquid eyeliner at the other end. Use the twist-up pencil to tightly line and contour the eyes. The pencil will smoothly glide along the lash line and inner rim giving the appearance of voluminous lashes.
At the opposite end is the liquid eyeliner. Not only is it hydrating, but it dries quickly. No more fanning your eyes to make the drying process go quicker. The liner is deeply pigmented and paints the most dramatic of wings. When I used the Double Take Eyeliner, I used the pencil first to line my eyes and then traced over the pencil liner with the liquid eyeliner. A trick I recommend if you are using liquid liner for the first time.
I was not sure at first if I would get the same amount of wear from both liners, but I did. It lasted for about 12 hours which is more than a full day at work. In my opinion, the liner was more pigmented than Stila’s eyeliners. I was able to apply the Tarte Double Take eyeliner with little effort and got the result I wanted within a minute or two. Tightlining my eyes with the pencil side was very smooth and had no skips.
This product is a fantastic idea. It is two liners in one, and it takes less room in your makeup bag. I’ve tried numerous eyeliners at various price points, and this one of the best liners I have found. The Double Take Eyeliner has a nice, bold color. It glides on easily with either side, lasts long and looks great. It is a must have in your makeup bag.
Tarte’s Tartiest Double Take Eyeliner retails for $24.00. The eyeliner may be purchased at www.tartecosmetics.com, Sephora, ULTA and Macy’s.
