Review : Maybelline Eyestudio 2 in 1 Shadow Liner

Since my Wet n wild Purple gel liner already dried out, was looking for a dark purple liner to replace it. Luckily found this baby on sale. =)

> Black
> Chocolate
> Forest Green
> Ocean Blue
> Dark Purple
> White Pearl
> Gold

PROS:
* very creamy
* easy to blend
* didn't smudge & fade during the day- applied this on my upper lashline.
* dual purpose - can be used as eyeshadow or eyeliner
* no weird smell
* pigmented


CONS:
* need sharpening. It would be nice if this is retractable pencil.
* faded a bit when rubbed under running water.


TIPS:
After applying, let it set first to avoid smudging. Layer with an eyeshadow of the same color to make the eyeliner last longer.


ADDICTION FACTOR:
I wanna buy Black to use as base for smokey eyes and White Pearl to highlight or as an eye base.

EDIT: I already bought White Pearl and I love it! Click here for the swatch.

RATING :
4 / 5. This is a good inexpensive eyeliner =)
