MARC JACOBS BEAUTY Magic Marc'er Precison Pen

A liquid eyeliner inspired by the classic calligraphy pen for drawing the finest lines and achieving perfect definition. 
This waterproof liquid eyeliner pen features a calligraphy-inspired proprietary capillary system that draws thick and thin lines for accentuating the lash line or building a bolder look. This never-seen-before shade was developed in Japan to create the shiniest and blackest black on the market. The fast-working, no-transfer, no-fade formula lasts all day. This sleek liner begs to be held and is suitable for the boardroom.

I bought this liquid eyeliner in the last Sephora Family & Friends Sale. I am always a big fan of Marc Jacobs products, mainly their handbags and accessories. This eyeliner is felt-tip eyeliner with a very fine tip. It looks very similar to the K-Palettte 24h Eyeliner. Since my sister is a VIB and had 20% off for the sale, I decided to go ahead and try this eyeliner. From the MARC JACOBS Beauty collection, this was one of the more Hot product. I haven't tried it yet since I am trying to finish using up my FaceShop ExtremeLiner and Eyeko eyeliner. Since I typically don't use eyeliner everyday  it has taken a while for me to use them up. But I cannot wait to try this eyeliner and compare it to the other felt-tip eyeliner I've tried.
Please stay tuned for reviews on it. 

Where to buy: From Sephora USA website. USD $30

REVIEW: Face Shop Face It Extreme Bold Pen Liner

  


 
~AG~


I bought the Face Shop Face It Extreme Bold Pen Liner about a year ago. I was walking through the Face Shop store at L.A. K-town when I saw this eyeliner. What attracted me most to this eyeliner was the fact that it has a hard felt-tip. Before that, the felt-tip eyeliners that I tried were usually softer like an eyeliner brush (such as 24K palette) instead of hard like a marker. Plus, when I asked the saleslady about this eyeliner, she said that it was waterproof. 

• The hard, fine tip creates the thinnest liner close to the lash line
• Easy to use - great for everyday use
• Can be drawn over to create a more dramatic look

When I first tried using this eyeliner, I found that its staying power was horrible. What turned me off was when I put this eyeliner on one morning, and when I drove to my friend's place which was about an hour away, the eyeliner had already smudged to my lower eyelids. In addition, this happened during the Winter season in Southern California. I tried the eyeliner again a couple of times after that, but still found its staying power lacking. So I hid away under all my makeup collection. 

About six months later, when I had moved back to Singapore, I decided to try this eyeliner again. To see how it will fare in the hot and humid weather. I expected it to be worst. Since the humidity might cause the eyeliner to smudge more easily than the dry and cool weather of Southern California's winter. But I was wrong, the eyeliner stayed on better than before. It still smudged to my lower eyelids at the end the day, but its staying power was improved. I don't know why the eyeliner stays on better when I tried in Singapore versus when I tried in the States. 

From initially being a complete failure, this eyeliner has become one of my most favourite eyeliners. I use it almost everyday, and rely on it for special occasions. 

• Pigment does not wear off throughout the day
• Rather pigmented
• Dries rather quickly - less than 10 seconds
• Smudged slightly to my lower lids, even with Urban Decay Primer Potion and/or eyeshadow
• Lasts for 4 hours before it smudges 
• Expensive USD$22

REVIEW: Stila All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner

~AG~

One of my friends raved about this Stila liquid eyeliner. She said this was the only truly smudge-proof eyeliner she's tried. I had to try it since I have issue with eyeliners smudging. 

• Has a more stiff felt tip - more control for eyeliner application
• Intense pigmentation 
• Liner takes a long time to dry - at least 30 seconds, 
• Flaked when I used it on top on MAC Paint Pot
• Eyeliner fade at the end of the day
• Minimal smudging to the lower eyelids

This eyeliner is not for people with monolids since it takes so long to dry. I would not re-purchase it because I love wearing cream eye shadows over my eyeliners.
