I received a couple of these as GWPs and I'm so glad I did as I probably would never have tried it otherwise.
The Quickliner really works just as 'quick' as advertised. I'm not normally a fan of retractable eyeliners as in the past I seem to have had plenty of duds, but because the formula of this product is so great the retractable format works a charm. No sharpening, just wind it up (just a nudge mind you!) and you're away to go. Perfect when you're short on time but still want a great result.
The formula itself is smooth and creamy and glides along the skin like a charm, no tugging or jabbing the eyes. I have this in 'Intense Black' and it really is the perfect product for intense-looking eyes without having to resort to liquid eyeliner. The lines tend to draw on more smudgey and crayon-like than standard pencils so I find it perfect for create a smokey-eye look or dramatic eyeliner, but not for when you're after precision lines.
I love that you have about a minute or so of playing time before it sets, allowing you to apply it just how you want it. I've applied it to my upper water line, lash lines and also applied it after shadow to my upper lash line. After it's applied it's really long-lasting without smudging, even with a little water (great if you get caught in a spot of rain in winter!).
For what it is I find it's extremely good value, especially as it's a Clinique product which are normally priced a little higher. This is my go-to liner for night time and I highly recommend it for a more dramatic but easy to use liner.
This is one of my all time favourite eyeliners, if not my favourite, and I have tried LOTS of eyeliners.
This is exactly how they have described it, smooth and creamy! I have never found an eyeliner with such a 'soft' application! It literally glides on the skin, absolutely no tugging and gives such an intense colour. I have mine in the shade Intense Black, I love it and intend on purchasing more colours.
I love using this for the upper lashline and upper waterline. I find it gives an intense, long lasting colour with no smudging (after the 60 seconds or so of setting time).
This would probably work great on people with sensative eyes that still want great colour payoff because it gives just that with one swipe, no need to drag a stiff pencil across your eye multiple times!
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Will repurchase
