High-Pigment Longwear Eyeliner

NARS High-Pigment Longwear Eyeliner is a sharpenable pencil with a gel-like glide. It lays down saturated colour that stays put, then holds for as long as 12 hours. Sixteen shades run from matte to metallic, so it covers everything from a clean black line to something more unexpected.

What it actually does

• Glides without dragging. The gel-like texture is blendable on application, which is what makes smudging and smoking out possible before it sets.
• Rich colour that locks in place for as long as 12 hours, per the brand.
• Works on the waterline and the lash line. The sharpenable tip is designed both to define the waterline and to be diffused along the lashes.
• Holds up to conditions. NARS lists it as water-resistant, transfer-resistant, sweat-proof and humidity-proof — relevant for Egyptian summers.
• Sixteen shades across matte and metallic finishes.
• Sharpener sold separately.

How to use

1. Sharpen before you start. A fresh point is what makes the line precise.
2. For a tidy, graphic line, begin at the outer corner and draw inward, staying tight to the lashes.
3. To tightline, lift the upper lash line slightly with a fingertip and fill the gaps between the roots, working outer corner to inner.
4. For a fine line, stroke the #26 Push Eyeliner Brush across the pencil tip and press the brush into the lash line, building intensity as you go.
5. For a smoky finish, line both the lash line and waterline, then smudge outward with the #25 Smudge Brush.

Questions

Does a sharpener come with it?

No — the sharpener is sold separately. Since the pencil is sharpenable rather than retractable, you'll want one to keep the tip precise.

Will it hold up in Egypt's summer heat?

The brand lists the formula as water-resistant, transfer-resistant, sweat-proof and humidity-proof, with wear running as long as 12 hours — so it is built for exactly those conditions.

Can I use it on my waterline?

Yes. The sharpenable tip is specifically intended for defining the waterline as well as working along the lash line.

How do I get a smoky rather than sharp line?

Apply along the lash line and waterline, then work the #25 Smudge Brush back and forth away from the lashes while the formula is still blendable.
