I have wanted
to try Eyeko’s Skinny Liquid Eyeliner for quite a while but have seen mixed
reviews and with a bit of a price tag have restrained myself. However when I
was in my local newsagents and spotted it as the free gift with Glamour
magazine last month, I couldn’t resist spending the £2 for it! What a bargain!
So the mixed
reviews I has seen stated that it was hard to use, goes crusty on your eyes and
also dries out pretty quickly. Well I have been using it for a couple of weeks
now and have to say I am pretty impressed with it.
For sooo long
now I dream of being able to do eyeliner flicks to match the great eye flicks
of Alexa Chung and Zooey Deschanel. I have a long way to go but I’m a believer
that with practice I may get there one day! At the moment I am cursed with
being able to do one eye spot on and the other looks like a child has done it.
However I will persist!
I tend to use
gel eyeliners to do mine but it’s a bit of a faff with the whole pot and a
brush, especially if you want to just tidy it up while you’re out. I have tried
pens in the past and find they don’t really show up on my lids. So I was really
chuffed when this one went on a nice dark black and shock horror stayed like
that! It dries pretty quickly so you don’t need to worry about smudging it and I
found the brush so easy to use. It allowed me to get closed to my eye line and
with its pointed tip I was able to be pretty precise.
Eyeko states
that their pen is smudge proof and fade proof, over the couple of weeks I have
been using this pen I would have to agree that it’s true. It lasts most of the
day and stays put! I definitely recommend this product and when it runs out I
may treat myself to it now.
I've heard nothing but bad things about this product, but you've described it perfectly. Sounds like a dream, the fact that it's a dark black and doesn't smudge or move anywhere really appeals to me.
ReplyDeleteI need to find the perfect liner, at the moment especially with it being so hot, that mixed with oily lids - my liner just goes off where it wants to, not where I want it to stay haha.
Gutted I didn't take advantage of it when it was with the Glamour magazine - I was put off by all the bad reviews >.<

I know, I heard so many bad reviews so I wasn't expecting too much! So glad I gave it ago though as its fab and I've been using it most days! xxx
DeleteI love this product too. :) I picked up a back-up of the black one and the navy one too! It was such a bargain with the £2 Glamour magazine.

you sure do! its a fab liner! xx
DeleteI got this free in Glamour too, but actually really dislike it! Mine was pretty dry right from the start and draws on patchy haha. I think I have oily eyelids though so that might explain why it doesn't draw on very well!
