L'Oreal Paris Superliner Perfect Slim Eyeliner Intense Black Review

Weeee, this beauty has teeny tiny 0.4mm tip meaning you get a sharp, crisp line and lots of precision. I did have to go find another mirror to really play with it - this product demands precision and a sharp eye. It delivers a pencil-thin shot of darkest black with minimal bleeding. It did take a wee moment to dry, but nothing too drastic and once set it stuck!

Those familiar with calligraphy (and those who like to experiment) can also play with the angles of the brush - I managed to get a pretty sweet cat's eye flick going just by using the eyeliner a little differently and applying a different angle and pressure. I'll be watching with interest as to how the tip holds up after a few weeks of every day use - I've had other brush type eyeliners fluff and disintegrate and I haven't had the time with this yet to see how it lasts.

The pencil grip means no slipping, and naturally makes you hold the eyeliner with a perfect pencil grip - which adds to the precision.

The line was a liiiiiiiittle too thin for me personally for day to day use, but I appreciate the accuracy and precision it would offer and I look forward to using it when I 'glam up' for Christmas parties and the like.

Thanks so much BR for giving me the opportunity to be part of this amazing trial. I have blue eyes so always wear eyeliner when I want my eyes to really pop.

It is a pen like eyeliner which is easy to hold thanks to it's grip zone and glides on with no tugging. It took me a few goes to get used to using it as I usually use gel liner applied with a small brush. It has a great felt like tip which gives precise lines, just have a little play around and adjust pressure accordingly and you can change the thickness.

It takes a few minutes to dry down completely. It is highly pigmented, definitely an intense black. It stays put for a good amount of time but by the end of the day it does fade a little bit. 

I'm interested to see if it starts to dry out as the cap on mine doesn't seem to click on very securely. I put it in my makeup bag and the cap fell off so be careful of that.

I do think it is a nice eyeliner but I still prefer using my gel liner. That lasts brilliantly and doesn't budge at all. I probably would not purchase this but I have enjoyed using it.

Liquid liners like this impressively precise (0.4mm!) L'Oreal one, make eye definition much easier and far less messy. The super long but super soft brush calmed my 'poke in the eye' fears, and dispersed the light-feel pigment in a steady stream of intense black without pooling or drying up. Seconds later and it was not budging. This could be a negative but this is the case for all good eyeliners. The sleek black and gold pen applicator was easy to hold and looks stylish in my makeup drawers, easily portable and long enough to poke out of a jar. $28.99 is a reasonable cost for such an effective liner, and it lasted well through my days of mixed weather.

This eyeliner was overall pretty easy to use. I really like the felt tip style applicator - it's really thin so it's easy to get a fine line, and you don't accidentally make the line too big. The pen itself is also really easy to hold so that you can steady your hand to line your eye.

The intensity of the black colour was really good until I tried to make a wing with the liner. I found it quite hard to get a precise wing because the ink intensity seemed to fade as I tried to draw the wing. Despite this, the performance of the liner was still good enough to make me want to keep using it for plain eyeliner without a wing.

Overall this is a pretty nice eyeliner. It's not the best one I've ever used but I will definitely keep using it and try to make the wing work for me.

Very easy application! It makes a precise wing which is always a bonus! I agree with another review here, it doesn't rub or smudge but fades away during the day. Perhaps "setting" it with a black eyeshadow may help.

Hig pigmentation no need to go over your line work again, often causing smudges. It's a great product and with a bit of practice it's easy to use.

I have to admit that I don't have the steadiest hand and I'm generally pretty intimidated by liquid eyeliner. I tend to just get it all over my lashes (making them a nightmare to get mascara on later), muck up my lines and constantly have to even it out 'just a little more', or even when I do get the lines right I often find there's a degree of feathering into fine lines (come on, I'm not THAT old!).

However, I didn't run into any of my usual issues with this eyeliner.

First, I was really impressed by the incredibly sharp tip of this eyeliner, which allowed for a lot of precision - my lines were nice and subtle and practically perfect first try. I didn't get any on my lashes (hooray!), or if I did it's such a light formula that it didn't cause any issues.

The durability was really impressive - it didn't transfer to my eyelash curler at all, a claim even the longest lasting and most expensive liners can't stack up to! There was a little bit of general wear through the day, but certainly nothing noticeable without close inspection.

The grip spot on the pen was an interesting touch - I don't feel like it really added anything, but while it doesn't look great it doesn't really have any negative impact either.

Overall, a definite win for me!

The tip of the pen is so fine it's amazing! This makes it very easy to use. I don't often use an eyeliner pen but I had no issues with this one.

The tip is firm so it holds it shape well when drawing the line but has just enough give in it to flick at the end if you want to. This also gives you a nice sharp edge to the line. I found the black nice and intense and didn't seem to fade during the day.

Couldn't fault this pen. Would definitely purchase again and reccomend to others.

'Intense black' is a very good description for this L'Oreal superliner, it's fabulous! This black makes a statement and it's bold, but in a classy way...

The product itself is slim and black, as you'd expect of an eyeliner with this name, and its tip is incredibly thin - it's almost like holding a calligraphy pen, and it kind of looks like one too!

The fine tip definitely allows you to line your eyes with minute precision. And I reckon the way this superliner is designed makes it perfect for that winged look. Let's just say, it certainly encourages me to give it a go!

I'm not that great at applying liquid eyeliner, never have been. I find I can keep my hand much steadier with a pencil liner over a liquid one. I'd show you the photos of some of my trials and errors with liquid eyeliners in the past, but let's not go there...

Nevertheless, I do find that the winged look or flicked lines are far more achievable with this particular liquid liner than ANY other I've previously tried. I'm guessing this is down to the cleverly-designed, comfortable 'grip zone' that this product has near its tip. This grip zone is helpful because it keeps my hand reasonably steady. My lines are still not perfect, but they're better than they've ever been before with a liquid liner...

What about its durability once you've actually got it on? Well, I've found that it doesn't smudge easily and it stays on pretty well. The one thing I do need to admit here though is that I prefer this liner as a special, 'going out' eyeliner rather than an everyday one. It's just that I can put a pencil one on far quicker in the mornings before I go to work. So this one is being kept for evenings out, work dos, Christmas functions - that kind of thing. It's definitely being put to good use now over the festive season!

It's reasonably easy to get off, and I find a couple of makeup remover wipes do the trick!

So, will I continue to use it? Yes, but not as an everyday eyeliner because it takes me more time to get my lines right than with my usual pencil ones. I'm going to have to keep practising with this particular liquid one though because the overall results are worth making an effort for.

This liner encourages me to be more edgy and creative with my eyes, and I like that about this product. I'd recommend that if you're going to try any liquid eyeliner, you try this one.

After watching a YouTube tutorial on the best way to apply liquid eyeliner, and with this product, I'm now a pro. There is something very sleek about wearing liquid eyeliner vs normal eyeliner but its always been so tricky to apply. This product though is easy and its the consistency of the liquid (not to thick, not too thin) and the brush shape that makes it so easy. Its black, black (sometimes you get ones that say they are black but once applied are more like a dark grey) and didn't fade or smudge at all during its day/night 'outings'. I will definitely use again.
