Pilot G-2 1.0…It smudges so bad 😫

I love me a Pilot pen. And I love love love the 1.0 point. It’s the perfect balance for me. The only downside is that it smudges SO BAD. which would in my opinion, ruin my notes. Even after I let it dry down for about 30 minutes while I wrote the rest of my notes, it still smudged badly. Now they’re all smudged and I’m sad 😢.

What are your favorite pens for note-taking?

The Pilot G-2 1.0 pen is popular among students and professionals for its smooth ink flow and comfortable grip. However, as mentioned, smudging can be a significant downside, especially for left-handed writers. To mitigate smudging, consider allowing the ink to dry longer before closing notebooks or using a lighter hand when writing. There are alternatives to the Pilot G-2 that offer similar qualities without the smudging issue. For instance, gel pens with quick-drying ink or rollerball pens designed for left-handed users can provide a better writing experience. Brands like Uni-ball and Zebra often feature pens that are specifically marketed as smudge-resistant. Engaging with the writing community can also uncover personal favorites that suit specific needs. Platforms like Lemon8 include discussions about stationery recommendations where users share their experiences and preferences, including pens that resist smudging effectively. Whether you're a student scribbling down lecture notes or a professional jotting down ideas, having the right pen can make a world of difference. So, next time you pick up a pen, consider not just how it feels in your hand but how it performs on the page.

A woman applies black eyeliner to her upper waterline, demonstrating a tightlining technique. The image features text overlays "the trick no one talks about..." and "TIGHT-LINING 101," highlighting the makeup tutorial.

Four panels illustrate the first two steps of tightlining: warming a waterproof gel liner on the hand and then drying the waterline with a Q-tip, as demonstrated by a woman.

Four panels show the final steps of tightlining: breathing in to prevent watering, gently applying liner to the upper lashline, a before-and-after comparison, and setting the liner with matte black eyeshadow.

Tightline that actually stays 👀🖤

if your tightline never stays, this is the fix 👀 it’s one of those makeup steps that looks simple, but if you skip the prep, it smudges right away. start by drying your waterline (trust me, it makes a huge difference), then go in with a waterproof gel liner and set it with black shadow. i als
