Description

Meet Almay All-Day Intense Gel Eyeliner™, the versatile eye pencil that is fierce enough for bold eye looks, yet gentle enough for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. It is even suitable for use on the waterline!

From the outside, this easy-to-use eyeliner looks like an ordinary eye makeup pencil; however, the color is as intense as a liquid liner, gliding smoothly and effortlessly onto lids without skipping or tugging, and dries instantly. This means you can confidently create stylish looks from a classic smoky eye to a trendy cat eye to a fashion-forward graphic eye, all without concerns about smudging or fading color. Available in six beautiful, creamy shades in a travel-friendly size for application anywhere, anytime.

Packaging contains recycled content - Because Almay loves the environment as much as your delicate eyes, the pencil barrel is made from 85% recycled paper. Formulated without added parabens, phthalates, SLS, mineral oil, DMDM Hydantoin, formaldehydes, and Triclosan. As always, hypoallergenic. Ophthalmologist tested. Clean. Cruelty free. Fragrance free.

Apply liner to the upper lash line to make eyes pop. Add liner along the lower lash line for a defined look. For a smoky eye effect, smudge lines with a brush before color sets.

Q: I purchased an eyeliner with a description that CLEARY reads it comes with a built-in sharpener. One Target Consult replies the eyeliner is self-sharpening, another suggests using the built-in sharpener. Which is it? I wish I could return it

submitted by Amey - 3 years ago
  • A: To sharpen it, wrench off the other end (white). Then cram a Q-tip into the tube to push out more of the pencil, so it's no longer a nub. Then use a pencil sharpener. Good luck!

    submitted byPam - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi Amey! This product is not self sharpening. The Almay All-Day Intense Gel Eyeliner can be sharpened with most sharpeners. I recommend using one designed for cosmetics so it doesn't eat up the product. Hope this helps!

    submitted byTarget Beauty Consulting - 3 years ago

  • A: This is a great product, however not designed well! The gel tip is very soft. When you use a cosmetic sharpener it breaks off easily. Unfortunately, best to yank on white end and push up with a Q-tip.

    submitted byCustomer - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi Amey, thank you for your question about our Almay All-Day Intense Gel Eyeliner. This product does not have a built-in sharpener. Thank you!

Q: When I twisted off the white cap at the end, it just broke off. Seems something is missing. There is no way to extend or sharpen the crayon. Can you please explain? I don't see the "built-in" sharpener you're referring to. Thanks!

Q: How do I get this to smudge shadow with an angle brush? doesn't seem to move at all whether using brush or hand, does it blend for a smokey look?

Q: once the tip is used, is there no more product inside the barrel of this pencil? I read the other questions and see that this does not have a built-in sharpener, but my question is: is there more product inside and if so, how do you get it out?

Summary of reviews

This eyeliner offers a smooth application and vibrant colors, making it a favorite for many guests. However, it has a significant drawback as it cannot be sharpened or twisted to extend the product, leading to frustration and disappointment. While some guests appreciate its long-lasting formula and minimal irritation for sensitive eyes, the limited usability after a few applications raises concerns about its value for money. Guests recommend ensuring you have a sharpener on hand for optimal use.

    Too Soft, Too Wide, Too Greasy

    I've used Almay eye liner products for decades. This Gel eyeliner is too wide (even after sharpening), too greasy, and too soft to be usable for eye lining. For me, made my eyes look like a raccoon. If you don't want the wide, greasy, smudgy look, I'd highly recomment Almay's Top of the Line Eyeliner pencil. I have brown hair and hazel eyes, and the Brown 207 in that Top of The Line Eyeliner is perfect. The Top of the Line eyeliner is reliable every morning, stays on all day, and is a quickly one-swipe application.

    You can definitely sharpen this pencil with a normal eyeliner sharpener. I know it doesn’t look like it (and the instructions are trash) but it actually sharpens really easily. However, I did find it a little tricky to get a fine tip, but it may have just been my dinky little sharpener. This eyeliner goes on beautifully and wears well. I wish the deep purple color came across as a little more purple, I feel like it just reads kinda dark brown or gray on me, but it looks nice! I really like the gel texture

    Nice color, product goes on nice. But there is no way to advance the liner out of the pencil. You have to pull the bottom cap off and shove a Q-tip through to push the product up. If you push too much it can’t be pushed back down, it will break, wasting a good amount of the liner. Why would Almay make an eyeliner without a way to advance the liner. Shouldn’t be sold this way!

    The pencil is made to look like you can twist the top & extend the tip, but you can’t. It lasts maybe 3 to 4 weeks. It’s basically false advertising and a rip off.

    I really like the color of this eyeliner, but every time I use it I wake up the next morning with the MOST AWFUL irritated eyes. And I don’t sleep in the eyeliner. Both eyes are bright red, inflamed, and filled with goop. It’s scary and alarming. It takes about 2 days for the issue to resolve. I missed work one day due to my eyes looking SO AWFUL!! It’s not pink eye. I normally love Almay products so this is so disappointing. I’ve slowly eliminated all my eye makeup and re-introduced one product at a time and this is the culprit. I have zero other sensitivities/allergies. I will never wear this brand again. The product designers need to look into this.

    I haven't used Almay products in some time but decided to try this eyeliner. The application was smooth and easy....loved it! However, after 4 uses, I needed to expose more of the pencil. DID NOT realize this was an eyeliner that requires a sharpener .... Does not work for me so I trashed it!
