When I tight line, will it transfer to my waterline?

Awesome 24 hr Duration Pencil
The MAC color excess pencil the name of the color is glide or die as rich black color. It has the consistency of a gel. Feels like a crayon when you glided over your lid. The black color is the richest I have seen and it's very bold. This is a twist type of pencil that you can twist to give you more...

Looks great on the waterline
Pros: Color payoff is great. Gentle on the skin and even though it took a little work, it did apply and stay on the waterline. Doesn't smudge too much which is great, but also means it's not blendable. Cons: the product can be a little thick if you want to apply enough to be bold on the waterline...

Meh
I really wanted to like this, and expected more from a higher end brand. However, every time I use it, I'm reminded that I don't like this product. It really tears along the eyelid and is really difficult to put on. There seems to be no glide at all, and the tip breaks easily.
Amazing and long lasting eyeliner

Glue or Die eye liner is amazing. I have used it for years. It's very soft which is great in delicate eyes.

Comments about Glide Or Die
I have used MAC gel pencils for years. The colors are fabulous, they go on smooth, and the color lasts. BUT they almost always malfunction after a short time. A common problem is that the push-up twist stops working, so I can't advance the stick, and I have to throw it away with most of it unused. So, I'm going back to the MAC Kohl eyeliners that have a much longer life of usefulness.
Waterproof gel pencil liner
I have had a lot of eyeliners but this one excels them all love that it stays one until I take it off at night, I also wear the liquid liner too I'm definitely a big fan will buy again!
Impressed
I decided to try this for an alternative to my usual liquid liner for a less "harsh" look on my 50 year old eyelids 😉 and am really impressed. I figured it wouldn't last all day since my skin is a bit on the oily side but it proved me wrong and no smudging at all. I definitely recommend!
