Have been using this eyeliner for a few years and the last 6 or 7 liners have some kind of defect. The liner will not go on without going back and forth several times. Also the tips break easily with just gentle pressure being applied. Very disappointing since I always liked this brand. The last 6 or 7 liners I've had to throw away since they do NOT apply correctly...at $6-$7 for each, I'm going to have to try a different brand, since the problem has not been fixed.
