After reading all the rave reviews of this pen I decided to give this a try. I'm quite rubbish at applying liquid and pen type eyeliner due to crepey eyelids and not very good eyesight in one eye! First impression of this pen is that it's very wet. This is good and bad - if you're not careful or highly accurate, you can get a great big smudge on, but on the other hand it makes it very easy to get a line without needing to drag over your eyelid. I'm usually more of a smudged or smokey eyeliner girl but at times I want something sharper, however because of my eyesight and apparently bumpy edged eyelids, it takes me quite a while to get a straight and acceptable line. This is not a quick makeup application, more of a planned event where I can set aside enough time to apply it slowly and carefully. This rules it out for my 6am make up application pre-work but ok for special occasions and weekends. I'll keep using this and see if there are some Youtube vids to give me some tips!

I started uaing this eye liner recently after a long period of using the Za model which is a very hard act to follow.
It is a standard liquid eye liner but with the exception that it has a curved head. To be fair, it has taken some time to get to grips with it and I'm still not that good with it.
It is small and slim enough to handle easily and the liquid flows beautifully, so there a no issues with any of those hings, but I am struggling to adjust to the curved head. When I can get the product on completely it does look good and is quite nice and even.
Overall it is ok, but I'll need more practice to be good at it. The price seems appropriate at $20.00. Definitely worth trying if you're a liquid eye liner fan.
Tips: I will update later if I can manage any improvement.
Love the design of this product! It makes it super easy to make any liner look you'd like to create. I prefer the felt tip style for liner as i find it easier to do liner. The colour is pigmented and i personally found that the liner stayed on all day.
Tips: If you feel like it won't stay all day on your skin, try to "set" it almost with a black shadow over top :)
This particular product i had issues with, i saw the design and had to try it, unfortunately for me I found it more difficult to get that perfect pin up with the angle style of the pen, however my niece took to it like a fish in water so that quite possibly could be just me. In regards to the eye liner itself, it was long lasting, the black was very consistent leaving no steaks or stains, it wasn't heavy on the eyes and it was easy to get off with make up remover, Easy on the wallet and does the trick.
This is probably the best supermarket eyeliner I have ever used. It's a felt tip pen style liner and it is very black and reasonably pigmented.
The handle is curved which not only gives you a steadier hand but makes it easier to achieve a nice crisp, straight line without it going on your eyelashes.
Because of its felt tip brush it guides on easily without tugging like some pencil liners can however this means it needs time to dry properly as it does smudge if not left to dry for a few minutes.
I normally use this liner when im going out at night as it does create a rather dramatic look being black. I hope they bring this out in different shades. With this liner I can achieve a really good straight line and wing if I desire and think it's great for beginners or experts.
