I go through an eyeliner every few months. So when I saw this in the last vault I was keen to try a high end eyeliner.
The shade this one came in was a dark brown. So on the eyes it is a little softer than black but still a dark frame.
The eyeliner has the thinnest tip I've ever seen on an eyeliner and comes up in much smaller increments.
In terms of going from solid to liquid, not so sure I'd really describe it like that. It's really just like normal eyeliner. but it is nice and smooth and doesn't drag. And does last all day.
I go through eyeliner too frequently to justify spending this much, but really enjoyed trying it out.
I was lucky to win this through the last Vault as this is normally well outside my budget. Microliner is a good name for it, as it has a very fine tip, finer than any other eyeliner pencil - automatic or otherwise - that I have seen. It's about a millimetre across. This gives a nice tidy line, useful for me as I have small eyes.
To get it out of the case you have to twist the top, and it makes a clicking noise. I wondered if mine was broken because it seemed like it would never come out, but eventually it did. It arrives in very small increments, which seems like a good idea because it is quite a soft pencil. Being soft has a couple of benefits - it doesn't drag and bump over my eye like some eye pencils which have already hit the bin, and it's possible to work on the line until you're happy with it - smooth the edges or thicken, as I usually need to do. The drawback of the case is that you can't wind the pencil back down, and because the pencil is soft, it's a bit of a worry that you might break some off if you can't wind it back. The staying power of this eye pencil is very good. It will only come off with make up remover for waterproof makeup. All in all I do like this pencil but I doubt I would buy it again at the retail price of about $50.
Tips: Only wind up as much as you need at any one time.
