tarte Double Take Awake dual-ended eyeliner pen — Black liquid + neutral gel, longwear waterproof, Amazonian clay-infused

tarte Double Take Awake is a two-ended eyeliner pen combining a precision micro-felt liquid liner with a creamy inner-rim gel to create wider, brighter, and more defined-looking eyes.

This dual-ended formula pairs a high-pigment black liquid tip with a neutral matte gel pencil, so you can line the upper lashline and subtly brighten the waterline with the same tool. Infused with Amazonian clay and mineral pigments, the product is designed for smooth application, long wear, and a comfortable feel for contact-lens wearers. It’s formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, or gluten, and it’s cruelty-free and vegan.

How does the liquid tip shape and define the lashline?

The micro-felt liquid tip is built to follow the curve of your eye, delivering dense black pigment in a single, steady stroke. It lays down a glossy-to-semi-matte finish that dries without flaking or pulling, so you get crisp lines whether you prefer subtle definition or a sharper wing. The tip’s thin point helps create both tightlines and dramatic cat-eyes with control.

• micro-felt precision for thin to bold lines
• high-density black pigment for opaque coverage
• glossy application that sets to semi-matte for longevity
• designed to glide without skipping or tugging

What does the gel brightener do for the inner rim?

The opposite end houses a velvety gel pencil in a universal neutral shade that softens and brightens the appearance of the eyes. Applied along the inner lashline or waterline, it creates the illusion of more awake, refreshed eyes without looking chalky. The creamy texture blends easily and stays comfortable on sensitive skin near the eye.

• creamy gel for immediate brightening effect
• universal neutral tone designed to suit many skin tones
• smooth glide that resists smudging throughout the day
• comfortable for contact-lens wearers and sensitive eyes

Is this formula longwear and skin-friendly?

Yes—the formula emphasizes wear and skin comfort. Amazonian clay and mineral pigments work to soften the look of skin around the lashline while helping the product adhere. Clinical testing on a small sample reported all-day wear and waterproof performance, and the formula is both dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested.

• infused with Amazonian clay and mineral pigments
• waterproof and designed for extended wear
• ophthalmologist and dermatologist tested for safety
• free from parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, triclosan, SLS, and gluten

How do I use each end for different looks?

For a classic defined eye, trace the liquid tip along the upper lashline, starting thin at the inner corner and building thickness toward the outer edge. Use the gel end on the inner rim to neutralize redness and brighten without exaggerating whites. For a bolder look, extend the liquid tip into a wing and lightly smudge the gel along the lower lashline for added balance.

• upper lashline: use micro-felt tip for precise definition
• waterline/inner rim: apply gel for subtle brightening
• winged styles: build thickness gradually with the liquid tip
• smoky finish: smudge gel on lower lashline and blend

Who is this for? This dual-ended pen is ideal for anyone who wants a compact, travel-friendly way to both define and refresh the eyes—perfect for busy mornings, minimal makeup routines, or layered looks where precision and comfort matter. It suits contact-lens wearers and people seeking a vegan, cruelty-free liner that balances long wear with skin-conscious ingredients.
