If you know me, you'll know I LOVE liquid eyeliner. So today I thought I would do a post all about the eyeliners I have tried, love and hated! I have one Gel Eyeliner thrown in there as well that I just couldn't leave out. So keep reading to find out what I use to achieve my perfect Cat Eye. First up is the Australis Intensifeye Liquid Eyeliner in Blackest Black. I have been using this eyeliner for years and when I first started using liquid eyeliner I loved this. After trying lots of other brands I decided to give this another try and I don't know if the formula is different but I just don't like it anymore. The brush is so thick and the product itself is a strange texture. The only good thing would be is that it is really, really black and glossy, the staying power is amazing. Maybe try a using a smaller brush...unless you like a thick line. Next is the Jordana Liquid Liner in Black. Jordana is an American brand and has quite a few good products, I use their brow powder and blushes and love them. When I first got this eyeliner I found the brush was a bit of a pain but the formula itself was good. I got sick of using another brush with it so I ended up putting it in my kit and it was great in there. I found that it dried up super quickly though and started going patchy which I hate. For the price it's great but there's definitely better options out there. This is the NYX Studio Liquid Liner in Extreme Black. NYX is an American brand and is very reasonably priced. When I first got this Liquid Liner I was quite happy with it aside from the brush. The brush is so skinny that it takes a while to get a nice cat eye but if you like a thin line or just want to line your lashes without it being obvious this is a good eyeliner for you. It dries up really quick though so be aware that you will have to repurchase often. NYX is generally a great make up brand though so give there products a go! Next up is I've of my favourite liquid eye liners! This is the Designer Brands Fine Eye Liner in Black. This eyeliner dries quickly and is super black and glossy looking. I've found in wears really well through out the day and I only have to touch up if I've rubbed my eye or something along those lines. The packaging isn't the nicest but for $4.00 it's an absolute steak and definitely worth a try. This eyeliner was a favourite of mine got years! It is the Kleancolor Eyeliner Precision Waterproof Eyeliner in Black. The only thing about this eyeliner is that there are really good batches of it and really bad batches of it. If it's a good batch the brush is really flexible, the liner itself is smooth and glossy black and it is so easy to apply. If it's a bad patch then the brush is stiff and can scratch the lid, the liner itself is too watery and seperates and it applies like a nightmare. I did used to get into the habit of keeping my good wands because often it's just the wand that us awful but lately it's been the product itself too. If you get a good one you'll absolutely love using it..but I don't think it's worth the risk, it is only $3.00 though. This next eyeliner is the same as the first one but in a different colour. This is the Australis Intensifeye Liquid Eyeliner in Black Shimmer. This is a similar formula to the other one and I actually brought it thinking it was the plain black one! This eyeliner doesn't have the same opacity as the other one and has a gold shimmer through it that isn't really obvious when wearing it. It sort of shows up brown/bronze on the eyes so is good if your after something not as intense as a black eyeliner. Last but not least is my absolute eyeliner. This is the Loreal Infalliable 24H Lacquer Liner in Blackest Black. This is a gel liner and I've heard it's really comparable to MAC's Black Track Gel Eye Liner. This comes with a little brush and it's actually a really good brush. This eyeliner stays put ALL DAY and is really smooth and creamy to apply. It then dries to a matte finish but isn't drying what so ever. I've only had this eye liner for around a month and I haven't even put a slight dent in it, it has also fast become my go to eyeliner. So there are all the eyeliners I've owned over the past few years. Some I love and some I can't stand! I hope this gives you some inspiration, especially if you are after a new eyeliner. Nicole xx
