Advantages: Versatile and easy to apply
Disadvantages: Does smudge and needs t be reapplied
I have been using this eyeliner for years now and have not found anything that is anywhere near as good. I have tried the Rimmel liquid eyeliner and the special eyes eyeliner, but this one is definitely the best.
It is fairly cheap priced at only £2.99 in Boots and it lasts for ages. I use it every day and I buy a new one once every three months.
It is very light weight at only 1.2g, and can easily be stored in a handbag. It has a plastic lid which protects the eyeliner itself and is the size of a normal pencil.
Because it is Kohl it is very soft which makes application easy. However, I did find when it had been cold in my room over night it did need some warming up in the morning. This is easily done by rubbing it between your fingers, or even breathing on it. It doesn't take long so you don't waste time warming it up.
I use the eye liner on both the upper and lower eye lids. It draws a really good line on the upper lid and the same on the bottom. The only problem that I have had is that because it is so soft, after a few hours of wear it rubs off on the lower lid. I wear my make up for at least eight hours a day and find that by the end of the day it has 'printed' onto my cheek. This can easily be cleaned up with a cotton bud but is still slightly annoying.
One of the benefits of the pencil is that it can be blended and smudged as necessary. Because of the soft nature of the pencil it is really versatile. When I tried the special eyes pencil, this was far too hard and I could not even get it to draw a visible line on my eyelid, let alone doing anything else that is required from an eyeliner.
This product also comes in several different colours including 2 shades of black, brown, navy blue and green.
This product is highly recommended and as I said before I have yet to find anything that does the job just as well if not better.
Summary: Highly recommended
