My Thoughts:

I’m not a big fan of this liquid liner. I found the application uneven. The pen would dry out in the middle of the application. As a result, I would end up with a fading line. I would have to go over it again to try to even up the pigmentation. I have this in black and I found the color didn’t come out truly black. It was more of a faded, greyish black. To get the color to a be true black, I had to layer it on a few times. I also felt the consistency was a little thin/watery. Maybe that is why it the color isn’t very pigmented.  When I removed it, it came off in clumps. It was rather strange. I’ve never experienced this with an eyeliner before. It reminded me of removing mascara with the tubes/fibers. On the positive side, the liquid liner is waterproof as advertised. It did last the whole day for me with very minimal fading. If you want to practice and master the art of applying liquid liner, this liner would be perfect. It will only cost you $1. I personally wouldn’t repurchase this to add to my collection.

My Thoughts:

I didn’t really like this eye pencil. It was just too big for me. You won’t be able to get a thin line no matter how hard to try. I guess you could apply it like an eye liner and then smudge the color for a smoky eye effect. The eyeliner didn’t last very long even with a primer. Maybe if I could figure out how to work it, then it’ll be better

One pencil lets you create two looks from precise to smoky. The velvety formula glides on with the ease of a pencil and the color intensity of a liquid liner. Customize your look with the built-in smudger. Available in 6 shades.

My Thoughts:

I admit it. I gravitated towards this eyeliner because of the “luxurious” looking packaging. It’s so eye catching! I’m sure glad I did because it turned out to be a great eyeliner. It’s a soft pencil that is smudgable. Because it is a smudgeable eyeliner, be aware of some fading and smudging. The pencil is very pigmented and is buildable. The smudge sponge at the tip is great and doesn’t hurt/scratch your lid when you use it.

Why You’ll Love It

Waterproof liquid liner delivers all-day wear.

• No skipping, no smearing
• Precision brush for perfect application

My Thoughts:

Maybelline Ultra Liner Waterproof Liquid Liner is great for drawing a thin, precise line. The brush may take a little bit of time to get used to, but I think it’s worth it. I have heard people say that it has flaked on them, but I never experienced flaking unless I rubbed my eyes. So, don’t rub your eyes. The liner goes on very smooth and evenly and lasts for quite some time. It is indeed waterproof. I don’t know if it will last on your waterline (I was asked to answer this question) because I never apply liquid eyeliner to my waterline. I only apply it to my top lashline. Overall, it’s a really good liquid liner.

Why You’ll Love It

Ultimate, precise control in a pencil eyeliner.

• No skipping, dragging or pulling
• Silky soft, long-wearing formula glides on for flawless application that won’t smudge or smear
• Washes off easily

My  Thoughts:

No no no no no. NO. Not a good eyeliner at all. I could hardly see the color after I applied it. Plus, major tugging occured when I tried to apply the eyeliner. The application was not smooth at all.  It was like scratching your eyelid with no color payoff. The harder I would press down to apply, the more the eyeliner would break/crumble. If I was able to get the color to show up, it wouldn’t last very long. I was hoping the eyeliner would give me a thin “exact” line, but nope. Such a disappointment.

Loreal Lineur Intense Brush Tip Liquid Eyeliner ($8.48) Love the intense, dark color and that is about it. I didn’t like the brush tip. It’s too flimsy and too thin so it made it really difficult to control and apply. It is bascially the same as  L’oreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner. The same color payoff. The same intense pigment. The same lasting power. If you’re not good or new to applying liquid liner, I say you’re better off trying L’oreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner. It’s much better and easier.

This silky liner goes on soft for fuss-free application. All-day formula resists smudging and budging, so color stays on and stays put-hour after hour. In 6 smooth shades.

My Thoughts:

What a wonderful eyeliner! It’s definetly long lasting and smooth. The colors that are offered are okay. Nothing special. This eyeliner is perfect for creating a thin line. No smudging, smearing, or tugging, and I have oily lids! I don’t use this on my bottom lash line because I can’t. Once it’s on, it’s on. You can’t smudge it, and I like to smudge the eyeliner when I apply to my bottom lash line. Is it my HG eyeliner? Not quite. But it’s almost there.
