One of the few things I can't live without, and can rarely leave the house without, is eyeliner! Even after years and years of practicing eyeliner and the perfect winged out cat eye, it's still something that requires a lot of patience, time, and perseverance. To be completely honest, I mess up every single time, and have to try at least 3-4 times to get it right. I've come to realize that doing a perfect cat eye doesn't depend on just the flick of your wrist, but it also depends on the type and quality of eyeliner you're using. Trust me, I've gone through over 30 different brands and types of eyeliner, in counting, and I have yet to come close to my perfect holy grail.
I often get people asking me, "How can I get better at doing my eyeliner?" Well, there's no real way to get better at using eyeliner besides practicing. Remember the saying, "Practice makes perfect?" Well, that's completely true when talking about eyeliner, especially liquid liners.
There are many different types of eyeliners falling into three different categories: pencil, gel, and liquid. Not only that though, there's also different variations/products for each type. For gel eyeliners, you have the gel pot, but also the gel liners that come in pencil form, or the gel liners that come in pens that you can just twist to use. For liquid liners, there's the ones that come in the little bottles, or ones that come in pens, but there's also the pens that have felt tips, silicone tips, or brush tips. As you can see, eyeliners are a very tricky thing and it can be difficult trying to find the best one for you. Ultimately, it takes a lot of trial and error to find not only the type that works for you, but also the kind of applicator tip you work best with, PLUS, finding the formula that you like the most whether it be a matte finish, a shiny/glossy one, or a natural semi-matte one.
Today, I'm going to be reviewing one of the liquid pen eyeliners that happen to fall in my all-time top 5 favorites: the
