Guests are saying
This eyeliner has garnered mixed feedback from guests, with many praising its smooth application and long-lasting wear. However, a significant concern is the difficulty in sharpening the pencil, which leads to product waste. Guests appreciate the pigmentation and ease of use but express frustration over the packaging design that complicates sharpening. Overall, while the eyeliner performs well, the sharpening issue detracts from its value.

Just awful
After only two or three uses, it’s ready for the garbage. There is no way to twist it for more product!!! What you see is ALL you get. Horribly expensive for that reason.

Hi there! Thanks for trying our Exhibitionist 24-hour Kohl Eyeliner. Since this pencil isn’t mechanical, sharpening is key for the best use. We recommend using the CoverGirl Make-up Masters 3-in-1 Sharpener or a similar sharpener with a smaller hole for precise sharpening. If your sharpener blade feels dull or it’s hard to sharpen, replacing it usually helps. We don’t suggest refrigerating or freezing the pencil, as that can affect its performance. If you have any other questions, please reach out to us at 1-800-715-4023. We’re happy to help!

Will not buy again.
Liked the smoothness of the eyeliner but the sharpening did not work. Expensive for the limited amount of product. Will not buy again.

Poorly designed but goes on smoothly
The eyeliner itself is awesome. I have extremely oily eyelids and work outdoors in the heat frequently, and it stays in place for most of the day. Very creamy, smooth, and heavily pigmented, so I can breeze through my morning makeup routine. It's just blendable enough that if I want to blend out a mistake or turn it into a smoky eye, I can do so pretty easily. However, like others have pointed out, it's terribly designed. The plastic casing makes it so frustrating to sharpen it, and no sharpener will evenly shave the edges down to create a point because the plastic catches in the blade. Also, the actual eyeliner seems loose inside the wood/plastic casing, if that makes sense; it wiggles around in the pencil and breaks super easily after sharpening. I go through it super quickly because I end up over-sharpening it. Please fix the design issues 😭 I love this liner but I'm trying out other brands now.

Amazing eyeliner-horrible pencil!
My favorite eyeliner, but horrible to sharpen. MAKE SELF SHARPENING! Half of it is wasted every time!

Waste of money, don't do it!
I thought I would try something new, did not plan on a pencil eyeliner and certainly not one with a plastic casing that makes it impossible to sharpen. Do not waste your money on this, you may as well buy the cheap ones because this one doesn't sharpen well at all and breaks constantly. Waste of money!

Stay away
This is the worst eyeliner I have ever used. It's thick and gummy. I put it on then wipe it all off practically because it gets everywhere except where you want it. Not to mention it's difficult to sharpen. You need a special sharpener.

Panda eyes
I’ve bought a few of these because I needed it to go on quickly, but I don’t keep them on long because in two hours I look like I have PANDA eyes. They are only good for about a week because they have very little product inside. So.. it goes on fast, looks great.. for a little while.

Useless after 2 applications
As everyone else has said, the eyeliner cream itself is good, but the packaging is a disaster. You get a couple of uses, but then the product is below the level of the pencil container. It was not clear until I tried everything I could think of that there was no way to twist it to get to more. I then tried a cosmetic pencil sharpener that has 2 different size holes, even though the pencil has a plastic-y feel that seems odd to have to shave off. Neither size hole worked, although I have successfully used it on several other products. Now I see from reviews that you want us to by a special 3-in-1 pencil sharpener from you. This smacks of you deliberately designing the size of the pencil so that customers are forced to buy yet another product from you in order to use the first. No way. This is going in the trash and I am now very suspicious of Covergirl. ... By the way, they are now making it very difficult for me to submit this review -- my first three nicknames were "already taken", although they are not common. Then they are forcing me to use an "optional" additional feature like a photo or a youtube link in order to submit my review. I feel censored.

Good liner, bad design
The twist up feature does not work, so once I used it a couple of times, I couldn't access any more of the product.

(no review title)
I have been using this product for years. It is nice and smooth going on and lasts. With the last 4-5 pencils I have been having issues sharpening them such that the pencil becomes totally useless. That didn't use to happen so something has changed. Try to go back to look and fix it. I have 3 different double sharpeners and none of them work on these pencils. What a shame because the product itself is excellent and it used to sharpen no problem.

Not what I expected ro Covergirl
I have used other Covergirl eyeliner products, and liked them. This one, Exhibitionist, was a waste of money. The packaging said "easy to sharpen", there was no sharpener on the pencil, and no sharpener I had worked, So it was a waste of money.

Crappy Pencil
I loved this eyeliner. It went on smooth and then you had to go and change the pencil. I have tried multiple sharpeners and the pencil is now worthless. If you changed the pencil you could have created a sharpener just for your pencils. I would be more than happy to pay for one.

Twist 'refresh' access base does NOT work
I have bought this product before, thought it was defective because I could NOT get it to bring up more product with the twist piece on the bottom..... just purchased it again and the same thing has happened - I've learned my lesson, the twist base doesn't do anything....... no stars at all

I love this eyeliner, especially for tight-lining. I’ve already purchased six of them! I’m not sure why others have trouble sharpening it—I’ve never had an issue.

Terrible Purchase
If I could give this product less than one star, I would. I can't say one positive thing about it. The 24 Hour claim is bogus. My experience is that its staying power is way less than 8 hours. The charcoal color that I purchased is black, not charcoal. And if you think that because the back end of the pencil swivels it is a mechanical style, you would be so wrong. And don't get me started on how difficult it is to sharpen once you figure out how to do it. I will stick with the Revlon color stay eyeliner pencil

Give it a second chance! Long lasting/great price
I love how long this product lasts!!! I feel like ”finally” something that is worth buying 🤓👍 So I had exactly the same experience as others with the sharpening , etc. But bc I thought it was worth giving it another chance I googled to find out if I’m supposed to sharpen it. Thank you covergirl for your response to the sharpening issues. I’ll see how it all works out now 😀. Small note: the turning end is misleading, maybe change that 🤓 My rating may go up as I use the product longer.

First couple uses were great
I don’t understand how to sharpen this. After the first couple uses there is little left to use. I can’t figure out how to get more I realize it’s not mechanical but there is nothing left to sharpen. I liked the first couple uses I got but now it seems like a waste of money.
