12HR Colorful Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Sephora Collection's 12HR Colorful Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner is creamy, budge-proof, and easy to apply on the waterline, with several creators calling it a daily staple. Professional makeup artist Lisa J notes it's best on the lower lash line for a soft, light-reflecting look rather than defining upper lashes. The shade range includes unique colors like a grayish metallic mint green, and it's praised as a great affordable option.
