1.5MM™ MECHANICAL GEL EYE LINER

Hourglass 1.5MM™ Mechanical Gel Eye Liner is exactly as narrow as its name suggests — a 1.5mm mechanical pencil holding what Hourglass calls the thinnest and softest waterproof gel liner it makes. No pot, no brush, no cleaning up afterwards: you click it twice and draw.

What it actually does

• Draws a genuinely fine line. The 1.5mm tip is the whole premise — it gives precision accuracy without you having to steady a brush.
• Skips the setup. The brand's pitch is no pot, no brush and nothing to clean, so it is the liner for mornings where you have four minutes.
• Resists transfer. Hourglass describes the waterproof gel as resisting transfer for extended wear across a range of eye looks.
• Two clicks is the limit. The brand is explicit that you should not dispense more than two clicks — the lead is delicate and can snap. The pencil does not retract.
• Roughly 17 to 20 uses per pencil, according to Hourglass.
• Formulated without sulfates and phthalates, and Hourglass confirms its products are 100 percent cruelty-free.

How to use

1. Click twice — no more. Two clicks is what you need to line the eye, and going past that risks breaking the tip.
2. Trace the lash line in short strokes, nudging the colour into the gaps between lashes for the tightest-looking line.
3. Replace the cap after every single use to stop the gel drying out.
4. Take it off with a waterproof makeup remover. A standard cleanser will not break a waterproof gel down.

Handling note: the mechanical pencil does not retract, and the lead is delicate. Keep it to two clicks and cap it rather than trying to wind it back in.

Questions

Why only two clicks?

At 1.5mm the lead is extremely fine, so any length you push out beyond two clicks is unsupported and likely to break. Hourglass states this directly as a precaution, and the pencil has no retract mechanism to pull it back in.

How many uses will I get?

The brand estimates approximately 17 to 20 uses per pencil. That is the trade-off for a tip this narrow — there is simply less product in it than in a chunky kohl.

Can I build it into a thicker line?

You can go over the same area more than once to add weight, but a 1.5mm tip is designed for fine definition. For a bold graphic wing, a wider gel pencil or a liquid pen will get you there with far less effort.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Stocked shades arrive sooner; anything we order in for you takes the longer end. Working days exclude weekends and official holidays.

How can I pay?

Credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets — cash on delivery is not offered.

What if the tip is broken when it arrives?

Report it within 1 day of delivery with a photo and we will sort it. Our returns cover defective, damaged or expired items only, with the refund going back to your original payment method within 15–30 days. Breakage from dispensing past two clicks is not covered, so stick to the two.
