If there is one element of our makeup we seriously need to stay put it's our liquid liner, nobody wants to look in the mirror to see a panda-esque smudge where a perfect feline flick used to be.

However, while you would expect a decent eyeliner to stay put throughout a working day or a night out on the town, you would probably forgive it if it didn't last through something as traumatizing as a car accident.

Regardless, it looks like Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner can literally withstand anything, something car crash survivor Shelby Pagan can confirm.

The 25-year-old nurse was involved in an accident last June, and at the time took to Instagram to upload a selfie from her hospital bed.

There was more than a few tell-tale signs Shelby had been involved in a serious accident, the neck-brace, the cuts to her forehead and the smeared mascara beneath her eyes, for starters.

But one thing that wasn't giving away so much as a hintof trauma was her immaculate winged liner. Seriously, we're struggling to think of a time our flicks have ever looked that fresh.

Shelby's experience has since inspired her to write a five-star review on Kat Von D's eyeliner, sharing the same selfie she wrote: "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 [sic] to show you, this product lasts and looks amazing through anything. Never buying any other liner again."

The review soon went viral after a student from the University of Florida, Lahari Machikanti, screenshotted it and posted it to Twitter with the caption: "Y’all I was really out here looking for a new eyeliner and look at this review lmfaooo She deadass took a picture in her neck brace I am deceased [sic]."

Once Shelby found the tweet she wrote back: "Lololol it’s me, girl, when you find a good product, you have to share the info," but she felt compelled to defend her selfie-taking decision in another tweet, writing: "Everyone’s hating on my review because I posted a picture of the makeup after the accident: 1. I took the photo for police evidence 2. But have you ever seen such a good eyeliner?! ....you’re welcome."

Speaking to 'Teen Vogue', Shelby thanked Kat Von D directly for the godsend of an eyeliner, telling them: "Honestly, I would thank her for making a quality make up line that doesn’t test on animals. I switched over three or so years ago to cruelty-free make up and Kat Von D has been a staple of mine since. It’s nice to have a product that is ethical AND works."
