Eyeliner Review

As with every girl here in America I am constantly on the hunt for makeup that does what I need it to do in the least amount of time. I don't really care to spend my morning putting makeup on that is going to melt off before you can say what's for lunch. So I am constantly looking for something that is easy to put on and stays on all day long. Lately I have been trying to find a different eyeliner. The morning of my defense my eyeliner decided to melt pretty much all over my face, thank goodness Dawn was around to fix this monstrosity. So I though I would review the few that I have tried so that you can save your money.

First up: Maybelline Define-a-line

I have used this eyeliner for years and prior to my defense I really liked it. My only problem is that eventually it gets mushy and smears all over your face as you try to put it on. Also a little heat outside goes a really long way to melting what you did put on all over you and that is gross. But this does have the advantage that you can sharpen the eyeliner and put on a finer line or a thicker line, you do get to choose.

Second up: Revlon Color Stay Eye Pen

I saw this one at the store when I was hunting for a new eyeliner it looks perfect. It seems to be a pen that you uncap and draw a line on your eyelid. So far there are no screaming red flags until I open the tube and it isn't really a soft point it is the hardest thing ever. I look at the package, maybe I am supposed to soak this in water or something. Nope it looks like you just write on your eyelid. So that is what I do. Let me tell you how agonizing this was I thought I was going to puncture my eyelid, but I continue until I get to the end of one eye. As I look in the mirror there isn't a whole lot going on... this means that after all of that pain and agony I am going to have to do it again just to make it look like I am wearing eyeliner. I have tried this eyeliner several different times and every single time there is lots of pain and no eyeliner on my face. I guess I will hang on to this one in case someone has a helpful hint about how not to damage your eye with this one. I also would NOT recommend buying this one.



Third: Almay intense i-color

I have been a fan of liquid eyeliner for years really but some jerk face I dated told me that he hated that type of eyeliner and that my makeup made me look ugly and on and on. I listened to him and changed it up, but this really should have been cue thirty five or something that I should have dumped him but really hindsight is always 20-20 and at least we are no longer together and I really have nothing to do with him. Someday I might share some of the best stories but for now we just know he sucked. But back to the eyeliner, I found this one the same day I found the stab you in the eye one. I really like this eyeliner it goes on smoothly and doesn't tend to run all over your face. I was unaware when I bought this but it is a black pearl color so it has a hint of shimmer around your eye which I was a little skeptical about in the beginning but now I really love it. I find this type of liquid eyeliner better than some of the others the shorter wand makes it easier to control and I am less likely to get it all over my face. However, once it gets a little old it does get much harder to put on but I think that is because it dries out and then is nasty.

I hope that these reviews have helped you decide what you should buy when you are wandering through target or some store like that thinking hey I really need more eyeliner because really is one type enough? Let me know if you know how to use the stab you in the eye variety, I could be using it wrong or I should be because who wants to stab themselves in the eye to look beautiful? Well probably the people who don't eat to look pretty, that is so silly.
