I love a good liquid liner, especially for elevating an average eye look. I have been on the lookout for a new one, and the novelty factor of this Maybelline one certainly captured my attention and motivated me to put my hand up to trial it.
First of all, I love the simple, sleek packaging - Maybelline has been releasing some classy looking products recently, which make me want to try the product. The design is looking cohesive throughout the latest ranges, and I appreciate that!
I also appreciate that this eyeliner stays in place and it is long lasting, it’s my new favourite and I have already got rid of my old one and put this one in its place. I love the fine, precise tip because it makes it easy to create a nice ‘daytime’ liner look - nice and natural, with the ability to amp it up if I want to. I’m not sure that the ‘angled’ factor of it really does anything though, and it’s more just a novelty feature that makes it stand out at first glance I guess.The angle definitely doesn’t hinder the application though (and it likely helps - I’m just not exactly sure how), so it wouldn’t dissuade me from purchasing the product, especially because the formula is great. Very bold and solid black, no weird ‘patches’ where the formula has gone dry - it dispenses the perfect amount every time which is probably my favourite aspect of this product.
The price isn’t excessive, but I would still probably buy it on special however, especially since Maybelline is easy to find and you can get some great deals most of the time.
In the trial time I managed to use the eyeliner multiple times. I have always had a love hate relationship with liquid eyeliners. Love it on other people, but never been so sure of it on myself due to my inability to get the perfect ‘line and flick’.
The product came in a sophisticated black packaging and text was easy and clear to read. The most obvious and unique feature however was the eyeliner’s bent neck.
This neck is made for easy application of the eyeliner. While I think I will always struggle to get the perfect lines with liquid eyeliners the bent neck made it a lot more simple to have a steady hand and attempt the desired effect. The eyeliner glided on easily and gave a striking line.
The eyeliner was long lasting and did not irritate my eyes.
