double take awake micro liquid liner & brightener

Tarte double take awake is one pen with two ends: a black micro-felt liquid liner on one side, a creamy neutral gel pencil on the other. The black defines the lash line; the neutral goes on the inner rim to make tired eyes look more open.

What it actually does

• Draws a tight line along the lash base. The micro-felt tip is narrow enough to follow the natural curve of the lash line rather than hovering above it.
• Lays black down in one pass. Tarte describes the pigment as rich and the application as smooth, with no skipping or pulling across the lid.
• Brightens the eye instantly. The gel end is a matte neutral meant for the inner rim — the brand's framing is that it fakes a full night's sleep.
• Built for long wear. Mineral pigments and clay are in the formula, and Tarte lists the product as waterproof with all-day wear.
• Suitable for contact lens wearers, per the brand, and both ophthalmologist and dermatologist tested.
• Vegan formula, as listed by Tarte.

How to use

1. Tightline with the liquid end for definition that reads as thicker lashes rather than visible liner.
2. Or draw a puppy line — extend slightly down and out at the outer corner to make the eye look larger.
3. Run the gel end along the inner rim of the lower lash line to open the eye up.
4. Cap both ends so neither the felt tip nor the gel dries out.
