Fashion 21 Liquid Eyeliner Review

It's time to let our local products shine once more. This time it is about my favorite liquid liner...

I prefer using liquid liners all because it can give that sharp lined-look especially since i just mostly do a gyaru eyelook. I have never been a gel liner user just because im already satisfied with how liquid liners look. Plus the fact that it is smudge-proof & smear-proof what's not to love about them? I have not tried a lot of liquid liners but i am very much satisfied with what i am currently using right now...

My favorite is Fashion 21 Liquid Eyeliner Waterproof


I'm not sure if there is a non-waterproof version though, but then i have always used this one. I like that this dries fast & that it is indeed waterproof. I have tried the ELF liquid liner & it sucks. I hate that if you accidentally rub it, it would like peel off. What the?! For those who have used the Elf liquid liner, was it just me or is that the same with everybody?

Here is the list of ingredients:


I find it awkward at first since the brush got a long handle. It's much preferable to have a shorter handle. You'll get used to using the handle in time. The bristle is great since it's long & thin & it's great in making thin, fine lines. If you want thin lines, then just use light strokes. I think applying liquid liners take some practice, but once you got the hang for it, im sure you'll love the over-all look that it can give.


Then a swatch...


Then we'll put it to the test. Let's see if it is indeed waterproof!
To make sure, i just dip my hand on the water for a couple of seconds... 30 seconds more like.


Then i rubbed it once...


Rubbed it twice...


Rubbed it thrice...


Of course, it's natural for it to look like that if it's rubbed thrice & dipped in the water for 30 seconds. But then see how it didn't budge when i rubbed it once? Oh, i forgot that i rubbed it hard... not REALLY HARD though. But it's still good to see how it still looks the same even if i rubbed it once.

I'm sure you can see the price at the 1st pic.. it's just P120 ($3 approx).
I like it. The End.

Pros:
  • waterproof
  • the brush is great
  • it's cheap
  • locally available
Cons:
  • the brush handle is quite long
  • not available internationally
This is already my 3rd bottle. I will definitely buy more...& more...& more....

Do you use liquid liners?
What's your favorite?

Hope y'all have a great start for your week!

Jaa ne!

AH! I don't have liquid liners LOL. I like my gels because I can use them for top and bottom lids.

I use ever bilena's liquid eyeliners because it has a short handle. Although it does peel off and it's easy to remove with baby oil :)

Where do you buy this eyeliner anyway?? :)

I love cosmetic brands made locally. you might also want to try nichido liquid liner but it's not waterproof i think the price is below 70 pesos.

i have tried elf pen liner in back, i agree that it's peeling like a correction tape.

i am using this now but the problem is that after a while, it kinda becomes grayish, especially when u use an eyeshadow. I have to do another coating of my liner to keep its black color. u know any other liner that is as waterproof as this but still keeps its color?

@ tey david

hi,sweetie!
when you say it becomes grayish, does it mean that that it oxidizes on you?..or that you cover the liner with an eyeshadow powder therefore becoming lighter?

i haven't really heard of liquid liner oxidizing yet, but if it does then you might want to check out other brands. i have heard a lot of good reviews with the loreal lineur pen eyeliner or most probably the maybelline one.

if it's the latter one, then you ought to do the lining right after you're finish applying the eyeshadow. If you want to apply liner first before eyeshadow then i suggest that you use a pencil liner. it would act as a guide so that when you line your lids using the liquid liner you would know exactly where.

the main purpose of liquid liner is to give that strong lined look so it's preferable that you apply it after you are done applying the eyeshadow.
