Makeup Review: Cream Eyeliners

Here are some of the eye liners I have tried and liked (and disliked)

CREAM EYE LINERS

1. Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner :

•  This by far is my favorite liner! 
• Comes in 4 shades; black, brown, eggplant and charcoal (I haven't seen the last 2 shades here in Manila); color output is very solid (intense)
• Very creamy; almost feels like a thick consistency but when applied it is still smooth
• It really is waterproof
• Comes with a liner brush

     2. Clinique Brush - On Cream Liner:

• Comes in 4 shades; black, brown,grey and black honey
• Even though the formula is waterproof this didn't really last that long on my eye lids even with an eye lid primer under it
• For me, the color output was nothing special (I have the grey)
• Texture was smooth and consistency is light
• Comes with an eye liner brush which is too short for my hand and the bristles are too thick to give me the fine line I prefer creating
• Definitely not repurchasing 

MakeUp Review: Chanel Waterproof Eyeliner

Another one to add to my collection. I bought black this time. I really don't know why I never bought one since it's always the go-to color when in doubt, right? It's retractable, so it's easy to handle. But sometimes I like the pencil type because I can control the tip by sharpening it. I tried to exercise with it just to see how it will handle perspiration and by golly miss molly it sure was a winner. No rocky balboa in sight. Phew! One of my Beauty buys for the month. The only drawback is the price. It's around p1,000+.

Chanel is available at Rustans.

Makeup Review: Stila Smudge Pot

The Smudge Pot is Stila's version of the cream eye liner. I heard that this does not smudge so I immediately bought two! I got Kitten and Black; I thought I could use Kitten as an eye lid primer because it will keep my shadow from creasing. Was I wrong!!! It creased on me after an hour after applying.

I heard so many good things but in my experience this Smudge Pot is a disappointment. Not only did it smudge on my lids but it quickly dried up.

Makeup Review: Benefit BadGal Liner Waterproof

When you're in a humid country you need to make sure that your
makeup will not melt in the middle of the day.  Therefore, a
waterproof anything is always a good thing, even a must for some occasions.

PROS:

It's a double ended pencil.  Pencil liner on 1 end and a smudger
on the other.
The consistency is very creamy and it doesn't set too fast.
The color is very black.

CONS:

This costs $20.00
Only comes in 1 color and that is black.
Currently not available worldwide.

Makeup Review: Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner

I just noticed how Maybelline likes using long names for their products :)

I was looking for a waterproof liner and I stumbled upon this.  This Liner comes with a small eye liner brush and the Liner is in a pot with a screw top lid.  At first I wasn't convinced that the brush will give me a fine line because of it's shape.  It is a synthetic brush with short bristles and slightly thicker than a fine brush.  But it worked perfectly on me! It gave me the control I needed while I was applying.

It is very creamy and glides on smoothly.  While I was applying it, I noticed how it gave me a full on line, no blotchy spots.  It didn't take a long time for it to set nor did it smudge on me before it set. Comes in 4 shades: Black, Brown, Charcoal and Eggplant.   But the colors available here in Manila are black and brown only.

I have always used an eyeshadow as an eyeliner but ever since trying this I have been using it all the time.  I would like to buy all of them!!!

Makeup Review: Prestige Liquid Eye liner

I have been trying to get into re-learning how to apply liquid eye liner that's why I have been trying out a few.

Unlike the Styli-style, this comes in a pot and has a shorter handle and somewhat thicker tip.  It is not as easy to hold especially for people with bigger hands (like me).  Just like with any type of liquid liner, it needs some getting used to.  Once applied, you need to give it a bit of time to dry or else it will smear onto your eye lids (a hassle).  Comes in different shades but I don't think I will repurchase, only because of the short length of the wand.

Also available at Beauty Bar and they're selling it at a very reasonable price.

Hope this helps and see you next time!

Makeup Review: Styli-style Liquid Eyeliner

This brand is more popularly known for their pens.  Eyeliners, lip liners and shadow liners.  What I have is their felt tip liquid eye liner pen.  It is very easy to apply once you get the hang of it.  They have a variety of eye liner tips to choose from, just like pentel pens.  It does not smudge and it dries quickly.

Price is very affordable.  Available at Beauty Bar.

Practice makes perfect  :) Thanks for stopping by!
