FELT TIP EYELINER
Felt tip eyeliner is my FAVORITE eyeliner type. Basically, it is a marker-like eyeliner. It is easy to use and convenient to travel with. The biggest benefit of felt tip eyeliner is that it stays on, and is the most long-lasting formula. With a felt tip eyeliner, you do not need to sharpen it or carry an eyeliner brush with you for application. You minimize the number of beauty products and tools you carry, especially helpful when travelling. Out of all the eyeliner types, felt tip eyeliner are the least likely to smudge or smear. In my opinion, it is the most smudge-resistant formula. With that being said, there are many different types of felt tip eyeliners. Some have hard felt tip, while some have a more"flexible" brush tip. Some have super fine tip, while some have a thicker tip. Your go-to felt tip eyeliner depends on your makeup preference. Felt tip eyeliners are found to be able to create defined makeup looks as well as dramatic eye makeup. You are able to build up and layer on the product to increase the intensity of the eyeliner. It take some practice to master using the felt tip eyeliner, but it is worth the many tries. EVERY girl should have a felt tip eyeliner in her makeup bag!
Lancôme Artliner (US$30.50)
This is my FAVORITE eyeliner right now! #1! It has a very fine foam tip that allows for creation of natural eye makeup look. However, you can layer it on to create a more dramatic look. The eyeliner is safe to use on the waterline. It takes about ~7 seconds to dry, which is a bearable wait time. It stays on all day and does not smudge. However, on several occasions, I have noticed it flaking off when I wiped off with a tissue. Not waterproof but it is water-resistant. You have to shake the eyeliner if it gets "dry". Expensive at US$30.50 for an eyeliner but it is WORTH it! I will re-purchase this eyeliner.
Stila All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner (US$20)

What I love about MARC JACOBS BEAUTY Magic MArc'er Precision Pen?
- Super super long lasting. It seriously lasts all day. From 8am- 11pm. The staying power is better than my HG 24k palette eyeliner, FaceShop eyeliner and eyeko eyeliner.
- It does not smudge to my lower eyelids. No racoon eyes effect. I tend to have issues with supposedly long-lasting eyeliner smudging to my lower lids. But I did not have any problem with this eyeliner.
- Totally waterproof. Even after I cried my eyes out. I was truly impressed by its water-proof properties. It did not budge.
- Easy to remove with oil-based makeup remover. It becomes fibrous when in contact with oil-based eye makeup remover. No tugging is necessary. But be careful to remove the fibrous material with Q-tip (cotton buds) so that it does not get into the eye.
- The fine brush tip takes a little getting used to, but I find it relatively easy to use. I'm not a pro in the eyeliner application, but I will rate this product as an easy-medium application level.
- The eyeliner flows generously without being too watery/inky.
- It is an intense black
- It takes sometimes for the eyeliner to dry. ~10 seconds. But the drying time is much shorter than Stila's. The eyeliner's drying time is still acceptable to me.
- You can use it to draw super fine eyeliner. Or manipulate it to draw more dramatic eyeliner.
- It is very pricy at USD$30. But for an eyeliner beginner, I will definitely recommend this product. It is easy to use. Waterproof. Does not smudge, and stays on all day.
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.
