I prefer lip liners that are this kind of plastic twist version over the traditional pencil ones so that they don't need to be sharpened per every few uses, wasting product. the colour is good and rich - but i wish etude house could give me a match for a few lipsticks of theirs that would match with their lip liners. overall very nice lip liner since the downfall of many of the plastic ones is that the liner itself becomes dry, but this formula glides easily and is very creamy
