Ohmygosh....seriously, if you don't get the Greasepaint Stick...you'll regret it
I just got mine
Worked with it three different ways:
1)Use a thin eyeliner brush (I used Prescriptives Fine Lining brush because it has a smaller narrow thin but firm flat brush head so you can push the color into the lash line) pick up color from the fat side of the pencil & apply to lash line - you can get a beautiful thin line.
2)Using the regular tip of the pencil, I was able to get a beautiful thin/medium smooth line.
3)after applying it like a regular lining pencil, I had plenty of time to go back & softly smooth/smudge the line (which you don't really have to) with the same eye lining brush as above. There was plenty of time to work with it.
Then I guess if you want you can make a really thick dramatic line.
It looks beautiful, it's black black - actually I can make it look very elegant.
Love it! I will def. get another.
