Survivor leaves 5-star eyeliner review because it stayed perfectly intact after car crash

Don't test it, though.

Warning: this article contains photos that some people might find disturbing.

Good waterproof eyeliner is hard to find. Makeup lovers are always on the search for products that won't budge, even after crying jags or a day at the beach.

Or in one eyeliner loyalist's case, surviving a car crash.

Twitter user @guadalahari was on the hunt for a new eyeliner brand when she came across this review raving about Kat Von D's waterproof Tattoo Liner.

"I was in a car accident and my eyeliner didn't budge," a review from eight months ago said.

Here's the full review:

"This product is truly amazing. June 28th I was pulled over in my car calling for roadside assistance when a distracted driver hit me going 55mph. I was taken via ambulance to the ER where I remained for 8 hours. My mascara was running down my face from crying and all other products had been wiped off in the transfer to the hospital. But not my tattoo eyeliner. I am posting a pick to show you, this product lasts and looks amazing through anything. Never buying any other liner again."

The mystery reviewer, who left five stars, revealed herself in @guadalahari's comments.

"Girl, when you find a good product, you have to share the info," @catsandcusswrds responded.

Obviously, you can't make everyone happy. When @catsandcusswrds got some Twitter hate for taking a selfie after the accident, she defended herself.

And other makeup wearers backed her up with proof of how good the eyeliner is in times of trouble -- journalist Madeleine Dunne shared a selfie of her face after she flew off her bike. She may have needed stitches, but her winged liner was still sharp!

Twitter user @MageePaige concurred, tweeting a bloody selfie from an emergency room gurney. Her eyeliner was still perfect, though.

But some worried that the liner wasn't as great as everyone hyped it up to be.

Another product that's apparently great for surviving near-fatal accidents: setting spray.

One Twitter user shared a screenshot of a NYX review. "If this setting spray can survive being hit by a car then that's all the proof I need and I'll definitely be buying it again," the reviewer said.

Even the eyeliner company got in on the post, applauding @catsandcusswrds's review with some praise emoji.

If you want to look good even through traumatic life events, this may be the eyeliner for you. Just drive safely, please.
