Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I absolutely live with eyeliner on every single moment of the day. However, I have very oily eyelids and majority of eyeliners fail to last or stay put on my lids. So I require a very waterproof and smudgeproof formula to at least look good majority of the day before my oils decide to ruin it. My preferences for my eyeliners are a opaque black with a brush tip. As opaque and fluid felt tip eyeliners are, they are hard to control around my hooded eyes and sometimes end up becoming dried out even though I've only used the eyeliner a couple times. I've compared this Maybelline eyeliner against some of my favorites or some well known brands: NYX's Epic Ink Liner, MACQUEEN's Waterproof, EM Cosmetic's Illustrative, Heroine Make Smooth Liquid, Eyeko Black Magic, and KVD's Tattoo Liner. I put each of these up against 4 tests, which I've illustrated in my pictures. Maybelline's new eyeliner held up moderately well and it's the only formula I've ever found to dry down matte and be this resistant. While it obviously isn't as strong as my favorite life proof Asian eyeliners, its still very affordable and may work beautifully for the majority of people! It draws nice and thin lines for lovely cat eyes. The only thing I don't really enjoy is the tight feeling on my eyelids, and the hexagonal design (purely due to me being lazy and not wanting to stare and make sure I apply the cap back on correctly.) However, the design is much slimmer and helps to make sure the pen doesn't roll off a surface. So the design is both a pro and con for me. Overall, lovely eyeliner for majority of people with an affordable price! Very easy to use to get cat eyes or just nice thin lines.
