Liquid Eyeliners

Have you ever put on eyeliner, only to have it smudge all over your top lid? Because of the shape of my eyes, I used to constantly have residue from my eyeline application. At times it was embarressing, but most of all, it was time consuming to constantly fix!

In the last year, I have been lucky enough to find two great liquid eyeliners. The first one was recommended to me by my best friend after her trip to Asia. It is the Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner.

The felt-tip liquid pen makes it easy to apply, and after a quick shake, the fluid comes out smoothly. Aside from it being smudge proof, sweat proof, and oil resistant - it really stays on all day. And you know the best part? Without rubbing your skin off and using greasy eye make-up remover, it comes off easily with warm water.

One of its best features is the fine brush point at 0.1mm. When you have very subtle double lids like mine, sometimes it gets lost with a thick eye line application. The fine point on this eyeliner makes it easy  for me to stay close to my lash line.

So where can you buy?... I've only seen it in black so I'm not sure if it comes in any more colours. I stocked up on a few before my girlfriend came back from Hong Kong for good. It's about $7 Canadian if you can get someone to buy it for you. If not, I've seen them in the beauty stores at Pacific Mall for $20. It is a little bit pricey, but it lasts a long time. I can use a pen for 6 months, and by then, you really should've already replaced it.

My next favourite is by Physicians Formula, and it's the Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum. I like it because it is very similar to the Kiss Me eyeliner mentioned above. Just like Kiss Me, it is a felt tip pen that is equally long wearing and smudge proof! As you can see from the picture, its tip is also very fine. I would say the pigmentation is not as dark, but after applying two layers, it looks the same to me! This eyeliner is a Japanese formulation, and it comes in three colours: deep brown, black, and ultra black.The added bonus is its claim that it will enhance the appearance of your lashes with every application. On top of that, it's hypoallergenic, fragrance free, and paraben free.

I've been using this eyeliner for the last month, and although I don't really notice my eye lashes looking longer or fuller, it truly is a great every day eyeliner that is easy to apply and easy to get a hold of. You can find this eyeliner at most drug stores, including Walmart. The best part... the price. I found this at Walmart for less than $14 - currently it's on roll-back for $9! If you have the same problems with smudging and small double eyelids, I highly recommend trying either of these eyeliners. I hope you like them as much as I do!
