Today's subject might be a bit controversial... well as controversial as beauty products can get (excluding the "testing on animals" conversation). Today, I will be discussing...... eyeliner. *gasp* Now I know everybody has their favorite method of application and type of product, and let me tell you I have tried them all. In high school I wouldn't have left the house without my eyes rimmed in black pencil. By college I had delved into using shadow for a softer effect. Towards the end of college I experimented with liquid liners and eventually I discovered gel liners. I can't say I have a favorite method, each one gives a different effect so I use switch up my application depending on my mood and the situation. For everyday, quick and easy, yet clean and polished eyeliner I always fall back to my Clinque cream liner.
I bought this product in Sephora about a year ago and fell deeply, madly, and eternally in love. Exaggeration? I don't care... its true! I have tried MAC's fluidline, Bobbi Brown's gel liner, and a slew of drug store products but Clinque's cream liner is my holy grail! It is a deep rich black, has amazing lasting power, and seems to never dry up or run out! I mean for the past year I have used this product almost every day, and I have yet to buy a new one... it just never ends!
As far as how to apply the liner, I have used thin brushes, flat brushes, angled brushes... whichever is easiest for you really. I have even dipped an eyeliner pencil into the pot and used it to line my waterline. Its pretty much fool proof.
As a testament to its staying power, I will admit to a major beauty no-no. There have been many a night when I was too lazy/tired/whatever to remove my makeup and many a morning when I wake up with pretty near perfect eyeliner still on! I wasn't joking when i said holy grail.
Overall I give this product a whopping 5/5 for pure amazing-ness. Test it out, at around $16 it won't break the bank and if my experience is the norm then it will last you, um... well just about forever!
