Infallible in White... Meh

8 years ago
So I finally got to try this eyeliner. I had a sty that lasted a couple weeks, so I had to wait to use it and the anticipation was killing me. I was let down. The white wasn't very vibrant in my opinion. But I did like using it as a base for my bright eyeshadows. It helped the colors pop. Other than being a base for my shadows, I doubt I'd use it as a stand alone product.

Quite disappointing

a year ago
I'm very disappointed in this product, especially since I've trusted L'oreal for a long time . It's so soft it breaks if you have more that 1/8 inch extended. If you use the sharpener, it breaks and doesn't sharpen. I can get a point by shaping with my fingers IF I'm very careful and don't extend it much. I do like the way it looks when I can get the pencil adjusted, so it gets a couple of stars. Too expensive to be so difficult to use.

Eyeliner not like it used to be

a year ago
I have been using infallible black noir eyeliner for years and years. It was the one eyeliner that lasted all day and the one eyeliner pencil that lasted me at least 1-2 months of use. I recently purchased new eyeliner pencils and have been very disappointed. I have purchased almost 8 new ones for them to either stop twisting where it can no longer be used, or for the product to have no eyeliner left in the pencil just after a few uses. These purchases have been made through amazon and walmart. I am very disappointed as i have to continue to purchase new eyeliners weekly.

Did the formula change? I’ve been wearing this eyeliner for over 10 years and it was wonderful. The last two I bought have smudged and not lasted more than 2-3 hours. I used to LOVE this liner, now I need to try others because I’m looking like a raccoon more often than not.

I was mistaken!

An apology: I left a negative review of the Infallible eyeliner a while ago which I need to retract. I had a couple of pencils in which the material was hard and failed to adhere smoothly, but it now seems likely that it was the fault of the retailer, and not the product, as the newest pencil I'm using works beautifully as advertised. i will definitely keep using Infallible.

The goodness doesn't last!

"Infallible" used to be a wonderful liner which was dependable for the life of the product. However, the formula must have been changed, because the last four Matte-Magic eyeliners I've purchased have worked for me perfectly for just the first few applications, smoothly defining a line exactly where I want it, but after about a week, the tip became hard and would not leave even a trace of color!

Smudges too easily

2 years ago
I was really excited to try this eye liner as I love gel based liners. The first issue is that the color goes on extremely thick in my opinion. So no big deal, I can thin it by using a q-tip. The real issue is how easily it smudges. After about two hours (sometimes not even), I get almost a double line or what looks like raccoon eyes. I’ve tried using it several different times and unfortunately this happens every single time. I’m tossing this as I’m tired of having to correct my eyeliner every hour.

I am 54 years old and this is the best eyeliner pencil ever. It glides on; you don't have to go back and forth over the same spot and it stays put during a spin class.

Hi Shetex! Thanks for reaching out to us regarding Never Fail™ Eyeliner. We can see how you would be upset if you could not sharpen this product. This can be sharpened in a eye pencil sharpener. We like our: Infallible Eye Makeup Pencil Sharpener. We are glad you love these amazing shades but we're sorry you are having a hard time sharpening them. This new generation of gel liners provides great color payoff but needs a gentle touch to sharpen successfully. For best results, insert the pencil into a good cosmetic pencil sharpener no more than 1/4 of an inch. If you push the pencil too far into the sharpener, the blade will grab too much and become difficult to sharpen. The goal is to shave off the resin in a thin curl to reveal more liner. The pencil should be sharpened frequently so that 3 or 4 gentle turns are sufficient to achieve the desired result. Replace sharpener when the blade has dulled and no longer sharpens smoothly. You will be surprised what kind of a difference a fresh blade can make. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 800-322-2036M-F 9:00 am – 7:00 pm ET

Best Eyeliner on the Market

5 years ago
After using a certain L'Oréal Infallible Eye Shadow to line my eyes with for several years, I decided it was time to go old school and revert back to using an eyeliner pencil. After perusing the numerous eyeliner pencils available for purchase, I decided on L’Oréal’s Infallible Never Fail Eyeliner. What separates this eyeliner from the others is the pencil’s design. The eyeliner pencil is designed in the form of a mechanical pencil. A Mechanical pencil is used to provide lines of constant width without sharpening in technical drawing and in writing. This eyeliner pencil has a built in sharpener which allows you to draw a precise line above your eyelid or under your lower lash line. The mechanical pencil has a smudge tip to which allows you to blend the eyeliner for a more natural look. The L’Oréal Infallible Never Fail Eyeliner comes in seven shades to provide long lasting, fade proof color from day to evening.

Bought this item because of its rave reviews. Don't see why. First one I bought, could not twist the pencil up for more product - so only got one use out of it. Tried one more time by purchasing another one - same thing happened (or should I say didn't happen). Also, I find that it smudges throughout the day and goes on clumpy in spots. Wouldn't recommend.

We are so happy to hear that you love this liner. Despite the plastic-coated appearance of the Eyeliner, it can be sharpened with a cosmetic sharpener. Our L'Oréal Dual Sharpener would be a great product to use! For best results, turn the pencil gently in the sharpener 3 or 4 times, being careful not to apply excess pressure. After sharpening, remove all shavings from the blade edge. Your sharpener should be replaced whenever the blade has dulled and is no longer giving the expected results. We hope this information helps!

Built in "sharpener" nonexistent

I tried the black one and the violet one. The black one worked but now is stubbed at the tip and there is no way that tip turns to sharpen. The violet one simply falls out of the pencil - no grab at end of pencil. Tried turning the bottom on both and neither one turns, even with pliers! So I tried turning the top portion and the pliers twisted and broke it off. I am VERY UNHAPPY with this Loreal product. Someone at QC needs to get this fixed and quickly! This is a great product if it only was packaged properly.

what Sharpener???

6 years ago
I don't get it. Where is the sharpener?? I twist the cap at the end of the "pencil' and nothing happens. What is supposed to happen? I bought it with a tip. When that receded that was the end of the pencil. I've used it less than 10 times. Help. Loved the liner, but wouldn't buy again because of sharpener issue.
Would you purchase this again:No

No, I do not recommend this product.

Hi there Jozie! We're sorry to hear you can't use your liner. If you have the Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof, Up to 24HR Pencil Eyeliner, this liner is sharpened using a makeup pencil sharpener. Despite the resin outer pencil, this new generation of gel based liner can be sharpened just like a traditional wooden pencil. Use a gentle touch when sharpening and don't push the pencil with any force into the sharpener. If you're using the Infallible Never Fail Eyeliner, this liner does swivel up, but the first time may take 20 or more turns to bring the swivel pin up to meet the liner. If you still encounter difficulties, give us a call @ 800-322-2036

Lousy sharpener ruins a great product

7 years ago
I’ve been using this eyeliner for two years now and love the way it looks, applies, and wears. However, the sharpener is a huge disappointment. It works for about 1/2 to 2/3 of the life of the pencil and then doesn’t sharpen any more. So I buy a new one with a fresh sharpener to use on the older eyeliner, so I’m caught constantly with more eyeliner than functioning sharpener.
Would you purchase this again:No

No, I do not recommend this product.

Sharpening is difficult

It's nearly impossible to sharpen this eye pencil. Very unhappy with this product. When it's new and there is plenty of pencil at the end to use it's great, applies smoothly but once it need sharpened its useless.

Hi there! We are so sorry to hear that you are having this problem with our Never Fail Eyeliner. To properly use this product, turn the pencil gently in the sharpener 3 or 4 times, being careful not to apply excess pressure. After sharpening, remove all shavings from the blade edge. The pencil should be sharpened frequently so that 3 or 4 gentle turns are sufficient to achieve the desired result. We hope you can give this product another try!

    1. Despite the plastic-coated appearance of the eyeliner, it can be sharpened with any cosmetic sharpener. For best results, turn the pencil gently 3 or 4 times, being careful not to apply excess pressure. After sharpening, remove all shavings from the blade edge.
