tarte Sex Kitten Liquid Liner — Full-Size Black, Super-Skinny Felt Tip, Waterproof 12‑Hour Wear

A precision liquid eyeliner pen from tarte that delivers a waterproof, triple-black line with a super-skinny felt tip for 12-hour wear. This full-size tarte Sex Kitten Liquid Liner is built for sharp, defined eye looks — from barely-there tightlines to dramatic cat-eyes. The elongated soft-flex applicator and ultra-fine felt tip lay down a quick-dry, triple-black pigment designed to resist smudging while castor oil and glycerin help keep the lash line feeling conditioned. Formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, or gluten, it’s also vegan and labeled as ophthalmologist-tested and safe for contact lens wearers.

How does the ultra-fine tip change my application?

The super-skinny felt tip gives controlled, even pigment flow so small strokes or long wings stay consistent. Beginners and pros alike can build a thin line or press firmer for bolder results without skipping or blotching.

• ultra-fine felt tip for feather-light precision
• steady pigment stream minimizes touch-ups
• soft-flex shaft helps follow lid curves smoothly

Will it stay put through the day and water exposure?

This formula is described as waterproof and designed to hold up through normal wear, giving up to 12 hours of visible payoff. The quick-dry finish reduces transfer and smearing soon after application, while the intense triple-black pigment keeps lines vivid.

• quick-dry formula to limit smudging
• water-resistant finish for everyday moisture resistance
• claimed 12-hour pigment longevity under typical conditions

Is it gentle around the eyes and suitable for sensitive users?

tarte positions this liner as ophthalmologist-tested and safe for contact lens wearers, and the ingredient blend includes hydrating components such as water, castor oil, and glycerin to help condition the lash line. It is also free from several common additives like parabens and sulfates, which users often avoid for sensitive skin.

• castor oil and glycerin add hydration and smoothness
• formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, SLS, or gluten
• vegan and dermatologist-tested in a clinical study setting

How do I get the sharpest cat-eye with this pen?

Start with small, connected strokes along the lash line, anchoring your wrist for steadiness, then extend to the outer corner and flick upward for a wing. Use the felt tip’s fine point to refine the wing’s edge and thicken the line gradually until you reach the desired intensity.

• use short strokes close to lashes for even application
• build thickness incrementally to avoid mistakes
• clean tip with tissue if excess pigment gathers before finishing

Who is this for This liner suits anyone seeking a dependable, high-contrast black liner with precise control — from makeup beginners needing a forgiving tip to seasoned artists who want a slim, reliable tool for crisp wings. It’s particularly useful for people who wear contact lenses or prefer vegan, ingredient-conscious cosmetics and want a waterproof, long-lasting black liner for everyday or evening looks.
