Great stuff
I have this in espresso, loads of product for the price. I wet with setting spray or the illamasqua sealer for stay put liner. I also am of an age to recall my older aunties using “cake mascara” and have used this as mascara with a spoolie. Great stuff

The best liner for tightlining upper lashline
I have used the Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Eye Liner in Black Ebony for what must be 15+ years and I have yet to find anything that can rival it for staying power, opacity and reliability. My tips for creating a long-lasting line on the upper waterline would be: 1) Use a very fine flat brush (my tip is to go to an art shop and pick up a very affordable synthetic brush for this purpose. My brush has bristles around 5mm width by 7mm length and max 1mm depth). 2) Take a few drops of water in a separate pot/palette and lightly swirl the brush so that it is fully wet. 3) Now swirl the brush in your Cake Eye Liner until it is coated with product. 4) Holding your upper eyelid stable with your non-dominant hand, take the brush in your dominant hand and use very light pressure to dab the pigment just below but as close to your upper lashline as possible. Keep dabbing the brush along the upper waterline, keeping as close to the lashes as you can. You are trying to create a line at the very base of the lashes. This will ensure that the line can dry and shouldn't budge or smudge at all. If you bring the line lower and coat the part of the waterline that is constantly wet as it is in contact with your eye, this is when you may experience transfer. Just adjust the placement so that you are only applying to the very top of the inner waterline, nearest the lashes. Hope this helps. There is a knack to using this eye liner but it really isn't any more difficult than a regular pencil liner once you get the hang of it. I use it daily and it probably takes me about 3 minutes for both eyes. You never need to sharpen a cake liner and it never dries out. I find it much less messy to use and one of these with daily use lasts me approximately 6-9 months. I have tried the Mahogany, Bleu Marine and Black Ebony shades and prefer the Black Ebony. It is not a harsh black and adds perfect definition.

Brilliant liner
Love the texture. Can be left as a solid, bold line or can be smudged for a more smoky look. Perfect for use with the flat liner brush. Lasts a long time as you need very little. Easy to apply and if you go wrong, just give it a good smudge and pretend that’s the look you were going for!

Dramatic eyes effect
Perfect for the tightline technique, which really transforms your eyes when done right. I have also bought the laura mercier pencil specifically to do this (a must). Even when doing this every day, this will last you more than a year. Great that the packaging also has a little mirror in it. Although you don't necessarily need it, as this won't budge for the rest of the day :-)

Transfers
I got this with the flat liner brush after watching some reviews. I prefer tighlining as I have small eyes and don’t want to use lid space especially when wearing eyeshadow. I used a spritz for the brush. The application was very easy (you have to make this damp or it won’t work) and the effects were visible instantly. You can use the brush to make this into a really lovely fine line if you decide to tale it a step further than tightlining. This did however smudge and transfer to the lower eye line and one one side had a little black flake. Maybe I need to practice more but it’s not supposed to be so difficult to use that you need to practice. I’d still use it and recommend but it’s but quite perfect.
