Max Factor Liquid Effect Pencil Eye Liner (Green Glow)

Pencil eyeliners tend to smudge, run with water, fade or tug too much on my eyelid. Which is why sometimes I prefer gel or liquid liner.

"The new MAX FACTOR Liquid Effect Pencil Eye Liner is a modern day eye liner with an edge; incorporating the easy application of an eye pencil and the smooth and lasting effects of a liquid eye liner"

There's a purple smudger tip on one end but I find it quite useless since it is so hard and the liner is not really smudge-able (doesn't look good, IMO. I need to play with it more). Instead, I use it once in a while to remove mistakes (kinda like an eraser).

This liner went on really really REALLY smooth and fast. I felt like I was spreading butter on hot toast! The colour intensity is not buildable (one layer is pigmented enough) and going over the line does not cause it to clump.

I wore it to work, pairing it with black liquid liner (I don't like using green liners by themselves). By doing this, it brightened up my eye area (my eyes were looking tired after working at a fair + I was terribly sick).

The liner did not budge, fade nor smudge on me at all! It's also long lasting and every single bit was still there by the end of the day. As for the waterproof test, it doesn't run under running water but it will disappear if rubbed.

Price : RM 38

Pros : Smooth application, pigmented, long lasting, doesn't smudge, waterproof

Cons : Useless smudge tip, comes off if rubbed

My conclusion : This is almost a liquid liner packaged as a pencil liner. Since only a small amount is needed each time (it still looks new after a couple of uses), the price is quite reasonable =)
