Sephora Cobalt, Eggplant, Brown, Espresso, Charcoal, Black Matte Ultimate Gel Eyeliners Reviews & Swatches
Cobalt Matte
Sephora Cobalt Matte Ultimate Gel Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil ($13.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a vivid, cobalt blue with strong, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer color payoff in one layer, which was buildable to mostly opaque coverage that was somewhat even, though certainly not the best-performing cobalt I’ve come across.
The texture was slightly waxy and thin, so it tugged slightly against my lower lash line initially. It lasted decently for eight hours before thinning visibly.

Formula Overview
$13.00/0.01 oz. - $1300.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "long-lasting" and "waterproof" with color that "wont smudge, flake, or crack" with "one-stroke application without skipping" that delivers "vibrant color." Well, those are the kind of claims you'd expect for a top tier eyeliner formula, but these are definitely more like two strokes--or overlapping strokes--to get more semi-opaque to opaque color. Some shades layered better than others; the "glitter" finish was the worst-performing--sheerer and less readily built up.
The texture was barely creamy but on the stiffer side, particularly with some of the lighter mattes, which I noticed were more prone to snapping off at the tip. These don't contain much product, which is consistent and typical for twist-up eyeliners, so that's not ideal as there isn't a whole lot of product to waste! They tended not to tug noticeably on my lower lash line, but they didn't have as much as glide as more eyeliners have these days (which some may prefer!).
They wore decently; they were relatively waterproof and lasted between eight and nine hours on average. I didn't have issues with smudging or flaking.

Sephora Eggplant Matte Ultimate Gel Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil ($13.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a deep purple-plum with subtle, warm pink undertones and a matte finish. It had medium color coverage that was buildable to opaque coverage, and I didn’t have issues layering up the product. The texture was lightly creamy, smooth, and comfortable to work with. This shade wore nicely for eight hours on me.

Black Matte
Sephora Black Matte Ultimate Gel Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil ($13.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a medium-dark black with neutral undertones and a matte finish. I was genuinely surprised at how weak this shade was for a basic black eyeliner; it had sheerer coverage, wasn’t as buildable, and went on unevenly to boot! The texture could have been more emollient and smoother when working over the skin. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading.
