Tarte has created a new eye liner that combines a few of my favorite things! It is the Egyptian Kohl Waterproof Liner. Kohl liners are so amazing for their insanely creamy and highly pigmented formulations, but usually they are only in a pencil-like form. Tarte’s version comes in a pot just like a gel liner and is intended to be applied with a brush. I love the control that a gel liner provides, so having these two elements combined into one product, I just HAD to try it!





Tarte’s Egyptian Kohl Waterproof Liner comes in a pot like most gel liners and is distinguished by its gold screw top. A dual-ended brush is also included for application. Unlike many brushes that come with products, Tarte always seems to do a pretty good job and the Kohl liner brush is no exception. It is nice a thin for creating a thin line that can be built up as thick as one desires. The other end is also thin, but the handle is angled to make lining the inner rims of the eye, or the waterline, much easier. Both ends work quite well, the bristles are soft and I have not had any issues with shedding bristles. The lid of the Kohl liner seems to screw on nice and tight, but I have not had it long enough to really test how long it lasts before drying out.

As far as I know, Tarte’s Egyptian Kohl Waterproof Liner is currently only available from QVC.com and retails for $22.00 plus shipping. You should be able to find it here.
