Now I dont know about other Dooyoo ladies but Im always cocking up my make-up. You would think after many years of applying various eyeliners and mascaras that I would be something of an expert at it by now but the truth is more often than not I make a make-up mistake. Often its something tiny like a small blob of mascara underneath my eyelashes or a bigger mistake like making my liquid eyeliner way to thick and it smudging or dotting everywhere. Now normally when I make an error like those I reach for the cotton buds and simply wipe the little mistake off and start again - but I found that tended to smudge the make-up that Id put on before (foundation, powder etc) so I decided to shop around for a make-up corrector that hopefully would ruin the make-up that didnt need correcting. The one I settled on was this 'Neutrogena Make-Up Correcting Stick' and I have to admit I only bought it because it was the first one I found on Amazon - to be honest I wish Id never bothered, this doesnt work any better than my usual water on a cotton bud corrector.

Useful Information:
Price: Around £2.50
Stockists: Boots, Superdrug, Amazon ETC ...
Other Info: This pencil can be used on both your eyes and lips for any liner or mascara smudges or bleeding. The corrector contains aloe vera and chamomile so its perfect if you have sensitive skin on your face and this promises to quickly remove ANY make-up mistake without leaving your skin feeling greasy or weighed down afterwards.

The packaging and design of this pencil is very simple (and maybe slightly boring) but Ive found that fits in well with the Neutrogena brand. The box for this packaging is a simple grey and light blue in colour and the wooden pencil on the inside follows the same colour scheme. On the box is all the information you could need on the product - directions for use, ingredients, shelf life etc and there is also an additional address and website you can write to should you have any other questions or queries. The corrector stick itself looks like a very chunky eyeliner - it is in wooden pencil form and the tip is a creamy white colour - which looks oddly thick and greasy, not what I was expecting when I first opened the box. My first issue with this is that it is a complete nightmare to sharpen. I used this quite a lot when I first bought it (I wanted to see if it would work in different situations) so it became blunt quite quickly and even though I do have a chunky eyeliner sharpener it took me about 5 times to make this sharper. It just would sharpen - it keep flaking off and chipping - so I ended up wasting loads of it just to try and get it sharp enough to use, problem number one!!

Using this is actually pretty simple in theory. You make a mistake and get a blob of mascara on your eyelid and then you draw the pencil over the blob and that should make it disappear. Now my main problem when applying make-up is that I tend to overdo it on the liquid eyeliner from time to time trying to even it out and thats the main reason I bought this as I thought it would give my liner a more clear and defined line. Using it is simple drawing over the blob or line you wish to remove is soft and doesnt hurt your skin and when the pencil tip is sharp it is very precise so thats good if you only want to remove a very small amount of make-up which is often the case with me. So applying and using this is simple - the bad news is it just doesnt work. The white colour oddly enough remains on my skin over the top of the mascara/eyeliner mistake which actually draws more attention to your error rather than getting rid of it so you do have to rub the excess white residue off for quite a while - which kind of makes this NOT simple and quick - the total opposite of what Neutrogena promise. Also this just doesnt get rid of make-up mistakes. Even after drawing over the top and rubbing this in a blob of mascara will remain on your face for all to see - this pencil doesnt even fade the mascara at all even with a lot of scrubbing and rubbing so its actually a really pointless purchase - a cotton wool bud with a splash of water on it is much more effective and loads cheaper!

I dont think theres anything positive about this make-up corrector really - it doesnt work and actually ended up drawing more attention to the parts I wanted to get rid of rather than making my eyes look defined and mistake free. Its simply not worth the money - girls my advice is stick to the cotton buds and dont waste your money on this ineffective product.

Thanks For Reading.
