I am a regular user of liquid eyeliner, but usually opt for the felt tip option for precision and more control. This one has exceeded my expectations on this front. It's the perfect contender for nights out or when I want a bit more of a dramatic look. Pros: • Liquid brush is actually fairly easy to control. I've managed to create fine flicks too similar to what I'd usually achieve • Pencil is soft and can be blended and smudged • Together, you can achieve a very bold look • Convenient all in one, so you can just pop it in your handbag for touch ups • Actually waterproof: my eyes water and it stays put! Cons: • As found with liquid pens like this, I find it hard to not let it bleed over my lashes when I'm applying. Probably a technique thing, so it's not worth deducting marks for As per mentioned, I haven't used a liquid liner like this one in a while. They have their benefits though, like if you look after them they tend to last longer than felt pens and dry out less quickly. But, this one really has been impressive so far. First things first... It came sealed which you'd expect. It took me forever to get the plastic off! Not really a complaint but wow it took a long time. The liquid side is a screw top (smart for less spills) with the pencil side a pull top. It's the same size as a standard liner, nice and thin and comfortable to hold. The liquid liner was pleasantly easy to apply. You can easily remove any excess by dabbing it off on the edge, and I achieved my flicks by doing this and using less fluid on the ends to get a really thin line first, and then did the main thick lines of my eyes after. I do have difficult keeping the fluid off my lashes, and it did seep through to my bottom lid a few times. But it wipes off fairly easy when wet so isn't too hard to correct. It dries relatively quickly, but not too quickly so there's room for corrections! It's also very comfy to hold during application as it's longer than most eyeliner pens in this style. The pencil side is as expected. A screw-top liner that's lovely and soft, smooth to apply to the inner lid line but equally easy to apply on the outer edge where you can smudge it for a cat eye effect. A really strong, dark and pigmented line. Both liners haven't aggravated my sensitive eyes, although I do usually find any liners on my lower lids do make my eyes water a bit. But, so far, it's stayed put over a night out and in the car with air-con, even in the corners where my eyes tend to water and liner usually comes off - so, I'm pretty sure I can agree it is waterproof! And I've had no itchiness at all. Taking it off isn't too difficult, but I always double cleanse with a balm and then micellar water so it's gentle on my eyes. Using the right products, it's fine to remove. All in all, from a daily wearer of eyeliner who wanted something a bit more dramatic for nights out and special events, I'd definitely recommend this. It's truly waterproof (far better than others I've used with this claim!) and having two in one is super convenient. It gives a pretty cat-eye look with strong, intense and dark lines. Great beauty product that I will continue to use!
