FAQs

Is this eyeliner suitable for sensitive eyes?

While formulated for comfortable wear, individual sensitivities can vary. We recommend patch testing if you have particularly sensitive eyes.

How long does the 'playtime' for blending typically last?

The creamy formula is blendable for a short period, usually between 30-60 seconds, before it sets to a transferproof finish.

Can I use this eyeliner if I wear contact lenses?

Yes, the formula is designed to be long-lasting and not prone to flaking, making it generally suitable for contact lens wearers. However, always monitor your eyes for any irritation.

What does 'Compassion' refer to in the product name?

'Compassion' refers to the specific shade of the eyeliner, which is a rich, deep color. The name aligns with Rare Beauty's mission to promote self-love and acceptance.

How do I sharpen the gel eyeliner?

Unscrew the cap at the end of the pencil to reveal a sharpener. Insert the pencil tip and twist to sharpen.

Will this eyeliner transfer onto my eyelids?

Once set, the eyeliner is transferproof, meaning it should not transfer onto your upper eyelid.

Can I use this on my upper and lower lash lines?

Yes, the easy-glide, waterproof formula is designed for both precise upper lash line definition and comfortable application on the waterline and lower lash line.

Troubleshooting

Eyeliner is not drawing a clear line.

Twist the cap at the end of the pencil to use the built-in sharpener and create a finer point. Ensure the pencil is not excessively warmed up, which can make it too soft to sharpen.

Eyeliner smudges immediately after application.

You may be applying too much pressure, or the blending time is exceeding the setting time. Apply with a lighter touch and blend very quickly, or opt for a single, swift application for a sharp line.

Difficulty removing the eyeliner.

Use a dedicated waterproof eye makeup remover. Apply to a cotton pad, hold over the closed eye for 10-15 seconds to allow the remover to break down the formula, then gently wipe away.

The pencil tip breaks easily.

Use less pressure during application and ensure the tip is adequately sharpened. Avoid over-twisting the pencil mechanism.
