My Target recently started carrying the newish Liquiline Eye Liner from Cover Girl (I believe it's been available elsewhere for several weeks). Available in six shades, this liner claims to be a liquid liner in a pencil.
(Black Fire, Brown Blaze, Silver Spark, Violet Voltage, Blue Boom, Green Glow) I picked up the Violet Voltage to see how liquid-like it could actually be.
From the first time you touch this, it is definitely a softer eyeliner pencil than I remember most drug store varieties offering. In fact, it reminds me of Mally Beauty's cult-favorite EverColor Starlight liners. The pencil is very soft and glides on with a full, rich color. It is in fact waterproof and wears for a full eight hours without showing signs of fading.
But does it look like a liquid? Sorta. When I think liquid liner, I think long-wearing, pigment-packed, clean lines.
This liner doesn't provide a clean, sharp-edged, shiny line like a liquid, but it does give the appearance of being a really rich, thick, semi-shiny line, especially when blended with their special smudge tool.
(Smudged line and thicker, non-smudged line) For less than $8, it is definitely worth picking up. Especially in this humid, sultry weather; it won't melt, move or muss.
I paid for this myself, at Target. It's a good thing I liked it, since Target has such an archaic return policy on cosmetics. Sadly, Cover Girl still tests on animals. Photos by Cover Girl and yours truly.
