L'Oreal Paris Infallible Never Fail Eyeliner, Carbon Black

‘Never Fail’ that’s a joke as I can barely get a mark out of this on my eye lid & even testing on my wrist you have to press really hard to see anything. I’m so disappointed, especially as I was very keen to try it after reading fantastic reviews. I also had to wait over a month for this eyeliner to arrive. I’m now thinking it’s either a fake product or from very old stock for it not to work like this.

I’ve been loyal to the L’Oreal Paris Infallible Never Fail Mechanical Pencil Eyeliner (0.008 oz, Black) for years, and it’s still my go-to for everything from daily work looks to dramatic evening vibes. Priced around $8-10, this eyeliner is a steal for its creamy application and all-day staying power. It’s become a staple in my makeup bag, and I can’t imagine switching to anything else. If you want a reliable, versatile eyeliner that’s easy to use and travel-friendly, this is it! What I Love: Smooth, Effortless Application: The creamy formula glides on like a dream, whether I’m lining my upper lid or tightlining. It’s pigmented enough for bold lines but blends beautifully for smoky looks, thanks to the built-in smudger sponge. No tugging or skipping, even on rushed mornings. Clever Built-In Sharpener: The sharpener tucked into the opposite end is a genius touch—perfect for keeping the tip precise without needing an extra tool. It’s easy to use and ensures crisp lines every time, whether I’m going for sharp wings or a soft, blended look. Long-Lasting and Gentle: This eyeliner stays put all day (8+ hours!) through work, workouts, or humid weather without smudging or flaking. It’s ophthalmologist-tested and doesn’t irritate my sensitive eyes, which is a huge win compared to other brands I’ve tried. Purse-Perfect Size: The sleek, compact design fits easily in my purse or even a small clutch for quick touch-ups on the go. It’s lightweight but sturdy, so it doesn’t feel cheap or break in my bag. Any Downsides? None that bother me! The sharpener can collect some product residue, so I wipe it clean occasionally to keep it pristine. It’s slightly pricier than drugstore alternatives, but the quality and features make it worth every penny. Final Verdict: The L’Oreal Paris Infallible Never Fail Eyeliner is a makeup must-have that delivers flawless results every time. Its smooth glide, long wear, and handy sharpener-smudger combo make it perfect for beginners and pros alike. I’ve repurchased it in Black and Brown multiple times and will keep doing so—it’s that good! Whether you’re creating everyday looks or dramatic cat-eyes, this eyeliner won’t let you down. Highly recommend for anyone who wants effortless, eye-safe perfection!

Good product

This Infallible Eyeliner by L'Oreal is very reliable and works great. It goes on smoothly and lasts a long time. I have other eyeliners but I prefer this one. I like the smudger tip on the end of it. I bought the carbon black which I think is a bit too dark for me but that is my mistake. Next time I will just buy regular black. I like the fact that it is sturdy and soft at the same time. I have used this eyeliner for a long time and never had the point break.

I can't handle liquid liner but have been chasing the look for a long time. This liner goes on SO smooth that it may as well be liquid. Really deep colour with staying power -- comes off easily with a gentle makeup remover. It's perfect!

No se corre, dura todo el día. Aplicación suave aunque no pude sacar punta fina para una línea muy delgada. Negro intenso.
