Every morning, like clockwork, I get a FaceTime from my mom while she’s doing her makeup. She’s not a professional makeup artist or former beauty editor, but she’s certainly an expert—this woman owns all of Sephora and spends every second of her free time watching BeautyTok. During our morning phone calls, she loves to tell me which foundation she tried that didn’t oxidize, the new concealer that didn’t crease, the lip liner that didn’t feather. But she’s struggled to find an eyeliner that’s up to her standards—until she tried Sarah Creal Eyes Up Creamy Kajal Longwear Liner.
Here’s the thing: as she’s gotten older, her eyes don’t necessarily agree with the same formulas. “My skin around there is so much thinner and crepier. I have to wear eye cream before I put on my makeup too, which always ends in my eyeliner fading by midday,” my 56-year-old mom, Mindy, tells me. So when I heard buzz about Sarah Creal’s newest launch—which is specifically formulated to address the concerns of more mature eyes—I had every shade sent over to my mom for testing. Obviously, I had to get my hands on ‘em, too. Our honest reviews, ahead.
