Here is my experience with the Marc Jacobs Highliner.
I got this liner in the Sephora b-day gift last year and fell in love with it. It is so smooth and glides on. It really is a gel liner. It goes on almost like liquid and stays put.
I love the color! It is such a great deep black liner. Unlike some liners, there are no brown undertones. It is pure black.

Swatch with sunlight and flash:
It isn't patchy and wears all day. I've worn it a lot and it looks great all day. When I swatched it stayed on pretty well, even with soap I had a small black line on my hand for most of the day.
It is pretty easy to control and I love that it is a twist up. I have a mini so I haven't got to test the sharpener but I love the idea! I still have pretty nice precision with it after using it a lot but it would be even better if it always had a pointed tip.
It dries pretty quick so it won't smudge on you so if you want to smudge it out do it as soon as you apply it. If it dries it isn't going anywhere.
Was it worth the hype? I didn't hear too much about this pencil before I got it but it is really great and I will be hyping it up!
Was it worth the price? The full-size pencil is a really great size. (As I've said mine is a mini). It is a really great quality pencil and it has a sharpener built in. I think it's worth the $25.
I love this liner! It is the only liner I've been using for about 3 months! It has a great color, applies smoothly, and looks great all day. It gives an almost liquid liner effect and wears all day.
That's it for this review. Thanks so much for giving it a read! I hope you enjoyed! Have you tried the Marc Jacobs Highliner? What did you think? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
