Is it a concealer or an eyeliner?

It is a highlighting eye pencil, not a concealer. It is meant for the waterline, inner corner, brow bone and cupid's bow to brighten and lift.

Does it work on the waterline?

Yes, that is one of its main uses. The no-tug gel tip is made for the waterline, and the formula is waterproof.

How long does it last?

tarte lists 8 hours of wear. Owners say it holds well on the waterline, though oily lids may see some fading.

Is it suitable for sensitive eyes?

It is ophthalmologist tested and dermatologist tested, and it is vegan and cruelty-free. Anyone with known sensitivities should still check the ingredient list.

How do I keep the tip from breaking?

Twist up only a small amount at a time. The gel formula is soft, so a long exposed tip snaps easily.

Can I use it on deeper skin tones?

The single nude shade is light. On deeper skin it can read ashy, so test it on the inner corner before committing.

About the tarte Fake Awake Eye Highlight

A twist-up gel pencil in a nude shade meant to brighten the inner corner, waterline, brow bone and cupid's bow. It has a built-in smudger, a no-tug tip and a waterproof, 8-hour formula with Amazonian clay. It suits anyone who wants a wide-awake look without a full eye makeup routine. Against rival nude liners, the smudger and multi-use placement set it apart, though the tiny amount of product per pencil is a common complaint.
