Hey!
I bought the Kat Von D Tattoo Liquid Eyeliner in Trooper from Sephora when they had 3 days of free shipping because I heard it being raved about incessantly, and of course I was curious!
The product claims to have high-pigment, be waterproof and claims that it stays put all day with a fade-, melt-, crack-, and run-resistant finish.
It has a brush tip as you can see below, which facilitates control over the thickness and shape of your line, which is something that I definitely admire in an eyeliner. The tip feels exactly like the Maybelline Master Precise tip but unlike the cheaper alternative, does not have a "thinner" or "thicker" side, so you do need to have an element of control when using this eye-liner as it can get messy if you don't take your time to draw the line to the thickness you want.
Pigmentation
I heard from other reviewers this eyeliner was completely matte black, but as you will be able to observe by the swatches and demonstrative photo below, the product still has a very very slight shiny finish that tends to reflect light very easily. I've used other eyeliners that have been more matte black than this one as well so I thought I'd mention it.
The pigmentation was also a slight let down when trying out the product, as I found myself having to go over the line a couple times to get the line to be the intense black colour that I wanted. Nevertheless the product comes out very easily and has MUCH better pigmentation than cheaper alternatives but isn't the darkest on the market. (I found the Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Eyeliner was slightly darker than this for example)
Lasting Power
The product lasts reasonably well when wearing it for many hours. Of course, to maintain a really dark intense colour you'd want to reapply after maybe 4 hours as it fades the tiniest amount, but other than that the eyeliner still looks really amazing after hours of wear and doesn't crack or flake at all!
Waterproof
The product doesn't smudge either which is a major tick in my books. You have to rub quite hard to get the product to move anywhere without water which I love!
As for being waterproof - this product definitely gets a tick from me. Water won't make the liner budge at all!

Pros:
- Doesn't smudge, flake or crack
- Is waterproof
- Easy application
- Can achieve a thin precise wing easily
- Lasts all day
Cons:
- Not as matte as you expect
- Need to go over the line a couple times to get the desired pigment
★★★★☆ 4/5 stars
As for me I've got my eye on one more eyeliner on the market that seems more matte than anything I've ever tried. This is a great everyday alternative as long as you don't want something that's insanely matte and a really dark black as it doesn't smudge, crack or flake and will still look incredible at the end of a long day!
