This is my second fave liquid eyeliner, with my fave being Kat von D's Tattoo liner. I have had this Stila one free a few times from Mecca Maxima though and it's always a great thing to see in your freebie pack!
I have only ever had deluxe mini sizes of this, but I've had several. The mini works the same as the full size - i did a test swatch in store - and is the same quality.
I really like the tip on this - you can easily get a nice point, a decent line, and a smooth finish in one stroke. it sets fast and does quite literally stay all day.
Towards the end of a long, hot day i do get a little bit of smudging and movement, but that's to be expected in my opinion. It's eye liner, not permanent marker.
Removal is easy with cleansing oil.
One thing I love is that it doesn't really seem to dry out - i've had some that fade out as the tip starts to dry, but this stays true to shade for months.
I love a good liquid liner pen, I find them so much easier to use. I like this pen but I wouldn't say it's lived up to the hype I heard about it.
I really like the applicator tip on this pen, it's not too big, nor too small. It applies the product evenly and doesn't drag. It dries quickly too. I don't find its overly black or pigmented, I do find myself doing a 2nd coat. I also don't find it stays all day, I get smudging too on hot days which doesn't impress me. It's very easily removed.
I do tend to have quite oily lids so this might be why I don't find it as long lasting. I think I'll be going back to my Maybelline pen.
