Rare Beauty's Perfect Strokes Matte Liquid Liner delivers an inky, matte black (or brown) finish with a brush tip that several creators find precise for winged looks. MakeupByCheryl praises its one-swipe opacity and ease of use, while SHELBY ANN confirms it's "long lasting and waterproof" with no flaking. However, Alexandra Anele strongly dislikes the liner, citing bristles that are "too floppy" and a formula that dries out very quickly during application.
