My Experience with Sephora 08 Brown Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner:

As the name suggests, this pencil eyeliner comes in a retractable packaging. The body of the eyeliner is color-coded and travel friendly. One side of the eyeliner has the pencil and the other side has a smudger + sharpener. Both the sides have their own caps that shut with a click. Overall, a functional and travel-safe packaging that does not look cheap.

The eyeliner is very safe for the eyes. I have used it on my upper lid, lower lid and waterline, and it has never irritated my eyes. “08 Brown” has been described as a chocolate brown shade with bronze shimmer, and the description is absolutely true. It’s a pity how the camera could not capture the micro shimmer, but I assure you, this shade is so very gorgeous. This shade complements my skin tone so well, but it won’t show up on very deep skin tones. If you do not have access to Sephora, you can find some close dupes of this shade in the Indian market.

The formula is creamy and glides smoothly, still it does not smudge or transfer anywhere on my face. In fact, the shimmer also does not move from its place. Pigmentation is great and does not fade much. It just appears a little faded from the corners of my eyes after around 6-7 hours, which I do not mind. I have worn this eyeliner for maximum 12 hours (yes!) and this eyeliner could survive such a long wear time with a little fading.

Removing this eyeliner is not difficult. I use some oil to remove it completely. Even the shimmer gets easily removed without a lot of effort. This is a waterproof eyeliner but it will get removed if you vigorously rub your eyes with water, and I highly doubt you’d do that.

The smudger makes the eyeliner appear soft and smokey but you can wear this shade even without smudging. The sharpener is useful and does not lead to product wastage. Overall, I am in love with this eyeliner and would love to explore some more shades from this range. I am sure I will like more shades.
