Velvet Love 眼線筆 (Perfect Cocoa)

The pigmentation is unreal for a pencil—one swoop and I had a rich, dramatic line that didn’t need layering. It glides on like a gel, so no tugging on my lids, and the cocoa shade is a perfect everyday brown.

I was bracing for a waxy pencil that tugs, but this glides on like a soft gel and the cocoa shade is rich enough for a full smoky wing or a quick tightline. It stays put through my whole workday without smudging into raccoon eyes, which is more than I can say for pricier ones I've tried.

One stroke of the Perfect Cocoa shade and I'm done in seconds. The pigmentation is so rich that it doesn't require layering, and the gel-like formula stays put without dragging.
