Gunsmoke Powder Eye Liner°

Do you want an eyeliner that is beautiful, natural, and lasts all day long? Then this powdered eyeliner is the product for you! Using natural makeup and body products is very important to me. I tried an eyeliner pencil from mineral fusion, but it smudged and ran considerably, so I thought I would give this powdered eyeliner a try. I wore it about every day that I was in Israel last summer and even in that hot and sweaty weather it did a good job staying put. Another big plus is the price. Considering other natural makeup brands, $11 for an eyeliner that lasts two plus years is an awesome deal. There are a few tricks to a powdered eyeliner. First off, don’t buy the eyeliner brush that Cowgirl Dirt sells. It is too big and clumsy especially if you’re going for a delicate and fine line. A few other tips I have are to use a little spray bottle or mister. All you do is sprinkle a bit of powder onto the lid, spritz a little water onto the powder, mix it around and then apply. A common problem with this powdered eyeliner is the messiness factor. I solved this by cutting a piece of craft foam to fit perfectly inside over the little holes so that the powder doesn’t get everywhere when you open it. This is especially helpful when you are traveling and it gets shaken all around in your makeup bag. I bought the shade, Fencepost, which is a beautiful grayish color with almost purplish tones, and the sparkle is really not noticable. This powdered eyeliner is simple to use, beautiful, inexpensive, and lasts all day. I really recommend it!

I ordered the color Bandit and it is a very nice natural black-brown that works for everyday and can easily be layered for a more dramatic look - great for my needs. I would also like to respond to the previous review that says it doesn't mix well with water. This is true to a point - if you just wet your brush and dip it into the liner, then you will get some powdery bits on your cheeks. However, if you wet the brush, put a little of the powder into the lid, and lay the brush against it and allow it to "soak in", it goes on without a problem. You just have to make sure that all of the powder on the brush is damp before applying. Love this liner!

I have sensitive everything aND I mean everything. This goes on nice with a damp brush. Stays on all day. And I'm not allergic to it. But it is messy when opening it up. The container does need redesigned some how to help. I do recommend it.

While I like the color of Gunsmoke Powder Eyeliner and it surely has a lot of pigment, I find that it doesn't mix well with water. It stays powdery even in water so when I apply it I get little powder bits that fall below my eyes that I then need to clean up. It adds an unwanted extra step to my makeup routine.

Never used powder eyeliner before. Love this product!!!

I got the fencepost which is described as brown, but it's more gray than anything. I'm a pale redhead and it looks too black on me. It's also very messy upon opening and as another reviewer mentioned, while applying, it falls on your face and dots your cheek with sparkly black spots.

Very pretty sparkly eyeliner, but seriously irritating to my eyes. I got black beauty and it's nice looking, but has tons of sparkle. Not for sensitive eyes.

This is great stuff! A great muted neutral color. I mixed it with a drop of Visine for liner and I use it in powder form, lightly applied, as an eye shadow. This has become my new favorite eye makeup; thanks Cowgirl Dirt!

I love the color Bandit. However, when I use this eye liner it is very messy. My counter gets covered in wasted product, even with being extra careful. Packaging could use some work.
