Fake Awake For Real!!
Fake awake is a fantastic product, it goes on so smoothly it stays on all day, the nude color, brighten your eyes, actually gives you the look that you’re wide awake and ready for anything. It stays on so nicely.

Brighten up the eyes
I love this product. It actually studs all day. It manages to be subtle while still giving a pop of light to your eyes.

No color payoff
I tried the navy color and applied several times but the color would not show up at all. Disappointing!

Wide awake
I don’t know how I lived without this one. Even if I don’t have time to do my makeup, I can still line my eyes and the inner corners then use the blending end and not look like I haven’t had full rest, which I never do lol. My eye color is hazel and I have gotten even more compliments after adding this to my eyes. This makes them pop!

Game Changer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Fake Awake™ eye highlight and the creaseless concealer are game changers to my eye routine. Lasting effects throughout my 12 hour work shifts.

They don’t call it fake awake for nothing! If I don’t have it on, I literally look like I’m tired

Love this product
I tried this product about a year ago and fell in love. I use it to brighten my waterline. It creates a natural brightness and extra glimmer that elevates my makeup look.

Opal Color Not as Pictured
I was so excited to get this pencil. the opal color looked beautiful and like it would go on opaque. unfortunately, the color is super sparkly/shimmery (which you can't tell from the pictures) & very light/sheer when put on the waterline. I wanted a lighter, cooler color equivalent of the Nude pencil, which is matte, but this was not it. It also does not last long on the waterline, but I haven't really found a pencil that does.

I do like this product
I've bought this product several times and I do like it. It does seem to not last long on my eyelids though.

Its not good for watery eyes.
If you have dry or watery eyes and use this eye liner inside your eyes, it will disappear soon or remove it or fall down. It doesn't work for me.

Glides like buttah
It glides on the eyes so smooth and stays in place. I love the smudged on the opposite side to soften the lines. It is an amazing liner.

I love the smudger
The reviews are the eyeliner not having any color is crazy because you're using the wrong end of this. This has an eyeliner side and a SMUDGER side. Back in the day all mechanical eyeliners came like this, so I'm guessing the reviews complaining about that are too young to be familiar with smudger. Anyway the eyeliner is fantastic and it glides so easily and stays all day. I'm adding a photo to show that both ends have a cap on them, and the longer cap is where the eyeliner is.

Eyes are itchy to it. Plus it cakes off in time. Hot Weather.
