Packaging- The eyeliner comes in the form of a stick, which is quite handy and easy to work with. It has a sponge on one end and twist-up liner on the other. All the details are mentioned on the tube itself. The major drawback of this twist up packaging is that it’s not retractable. I wish I would notice it before buying.

I love pencil eyeliners for the ease of use, especially on the water line. Most of the pencil eyeliners smudge and transfer within a few hours of application. This time I thought CLINIQUE should be given a chance. I picked up the shade 09 Intense Ebony, which is pigmented matte black shade. Clinique Quickliners do not retract back; so you have to be very careful so as not to twist up too much in one go.  The packaging is average and helps in viewing the product left inside. The formula is ultra smooth and easy to apply. I like that it twists up and doesn’t need to be sharpened, although this makes drawing a sharp wing line a bit of a challenge. I wanted to return it after 2-3 days but then Sephora India has no return policy. The next thing I did was that I applied the liner on my upper lid and although the formula is smooth, it never seemed to “set”. Two hours after applying it, it would smudge and give me raccoon eyes.T his one is not a smudge-proof or transfer-proof and fades away within 2 hours of application. The smudger is of average quality as it removes the product instead of spreading it out.
