tarte Double Take Awake dual-ended eyeliner pen — Black micro-felt liquid + neutral gel brightener, waterproof longwear

tarte Double Take Awake is a dual-ended eyeliner pen that combines a precise micro-felt liquid liner with a soft, brightening gel pencil to create bolder, more awake-looking eyes.

This all-in-one tool pairs a glossy-to-semi-matte black liquid tip with a creamy neutral gel brightener so you can define lashes and instantly lift the eye’s appearance without juggling multiple products. Infused with mineral pigments and Amazonian clay–inspired formulation cues, the pen is made for long wear, is waterproof, and follows tarte’s vegan and cruelty-free standards. It’s designed to glide smoothly along delicate lashlines and the inner rim for a polished, wide-awake effect.

How does the liquid tip create a sharp, lasting liner?

The micro-felt liquid tip is engineered to hug the natural curve of your lashline, delivering rich black pigment with controlled application. Because it lays down even color without skipping, you can build thin hairlines or a more dramatic wing with steady strokes.

• micro-felt tip for precise strokes and winging
• high-pigment black formula that glides without tugging
• dries to a semi-matte, opaque finish for long-lasting definition
• waterproof formula resists smudging in everyday conditions

What does the gel brightener do for my eyes?

The creamy gel pencil on the opposite end is a neutral matte shade made to sit on the inner rim and lower waterline to visually widen and brighten the eye area. It softens tired-looking shadows so your eyes read fresher without adding shimmer or obvious makeup.

• matte, universal neutral shade to subtly lift and open the eye
• smooth, non-drying texture suitable for inner rim application
• blends easily with fingertips or a small brush for natural results

Is this safe and comfortable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers?

Formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, SLS, or gluten, the pen has been ophthalmologist- and dermatologist-tested and is designed with sensitive eye areas in mind. Clinical testing cited by the brand evaluated comfort and wear on a small sample, and the creamy gel texture helps reduce pulling during application.

• dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested for sensitive-area use
• clinically evaluated for all-day wear and comfort*
• contact lens–friendly formulation and gentle application tips

How do I use this pen to get the widest, most awake-looking eyes?

Start with the gel pencil on the inner rim to subtly brighten and open the eye. Then use the micro-felt liquid tip along the upper lashline—begin thin at the inner corner and build outward for a lifted effect; add a slight wing if desired for extra width.

• apply gel pencil to inner rim for instant brightening
• draw a thin line with the liquid tip from inner to outer lashline
• layer for intensity: thin for day, thicker or winged for evening

Who is this for: This dual-ended pen suits anyone seeking a compact, travel-friendly solution to define and brighten eyes in one tool. It’s ideal for people who want smooth application and waterproof wear without fragranced or unnecessary additives—especially those who wear contacts, have sensitive skin around the eye, or prefer cruelty-free, vegan cosmetics.
