Ingredients and what they mean for you

• Trimethylsiloxysilicate — acts as a durable film-forming polymer that helps the liner glide and stay in place without feathering.
• Synthetic Wax — provides structure so the liner holds its shape while you apply it for a clean line.
• Hydrogenated Polyisobutene — offers slip and slip-resistant wear, contributing to a smooth glide during application.
• Mica — adds subtle shimmer-free pigment depth for an intense matte look in this formula.
• Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891) — brightens color payoff and helps achieve even coverage across the lash line.
• Iron Oxides (CI 77491/77492) — provides rich, true color while ensuring color stability on the skin.
• Carnauba Wax — adds rigidity to the pencil edge for precise application and helps the formula hold its shape during use.
• Other matrix ingredients including Silica Silylate, Polybutene, and Ethylene/Propylene Copolymer contribute to long-wear, smooth glide and transfer resistance.

Usage tips and who this is for

• Start at the inner corner of the eye, placing the eyeliner pencil as close to the lash line as possible. Glide across lash line for a precise line, or blend out before the formula dries for a smokier look.
• To access the sharpener, pull the cap off the back of the pencil. Twist clockwise until the desired sharpness is achieved.
• Best for those who want a high-pigment, long-wear liner with a matte finish and a built-in sharpening option for consistent edge control.
• Safety: test on a small area first to monitor for any irritation. Keep out of reach of children. Follow the included product instructions for usage and storage.

In practice, Birds of Paradise delivers a bold color statement without sacrificing staying power or precision. The built-in sharpener ensures you can maintain a razor-thin edge for a crisp line, while the matte texture minimizes sheen for a modern, defined look. Expect durability into late hours with minimal transfer when worn with complementary eye makeup.
