This is a great eye pencil that doesn't tug, never needs to be sharpened, and is long-wearing. Unlike some other pencils I have tried, when you buy the black pencil, that's what you get - a good black line (not some weak, grayish one - what is that?!). I also bought this pencil in Espresso, and I truly love it. So far, this is the best drugstore brand pencil that I have found! =)
