I got no. 6 fire wood and it's a normal brown eyeliner shade that looks more natural than black. It's super creamy and goes on smoothly. I like to use it at the ends of my eyes, and use my fingers or the smudger that comes with it to soften the edges. I can't tightline so I've never used it on my waterline, but it lasts a long time on the eyelids. Because it's so creamy, I would recommend to use it as much as you can when you open it since it might dry out like any gel liner would.
