l-r Barry M Wink eyeliner felt tip, GOSH Carbon Black liquid eyeliner pen, Mac Kohl pencil in Smoulder, Soap & Glory Smoulder Kohl, Maybelline gel eyeliner pot
Barry M Wink eyeliner felt tip: This is actually on it's last legs, but it's a REALLY thick felt pen that is so easy for beginners wanting to create a winged liner look. It dries up quite quickly and the nib on mine has gone a bit strange so it doesn't have a long shelf life, but it's really black and SO easy to use. The staying power isn't the best, but for around £5 I wouldn't complain.
GOSH Carbon Black liquid eyeliner pen: This is SO black, stays put until you get some sort of heavy duty makeup remover near it, and is quite easy to use. The nib is fine so you can create all sorts of looks really easily, the only draw back with this is it's quite watery so you really need to wipe the nib before you get going.
Mac Kohl: This used to be the love of my life. I've had about five of these, and whilst it is amazing, it's no longer my favourite kohl eyeliner. It's quite black, fairly long lasting, and you can sharpen it to quite a nice point if you wanted to use it on the lash line. It is great for smudging, however it sometimes smudges beyond all control when you get a bit warm....not ideal for sweaty night clubs or hot atmospheres.
Soap & Glory Smoulder Kohl: This is, in the place of Mac, the new love of my life. I've done a full review on it here if you want to take a closer look. It lasts ALL DAY, no lie. I use it on the water line, it doesn't smudge or slip, it's a really intense black, and it comes with a sharpener in the lid!! The only draw back is it's quite a soft, gel consistency so impossible to sharpen to a point, not ideal if you want to use it on the lash line. For £5, all I have to say on this is GO BUY IT :)
Maybelline gel eyeliner: I use the sigma eyeliner brush with this, brilliant for the waterline and on the lash line, and creates a gorgeous winged liner if you have a steady hand. Again, seriously long lasting, really black, easy to use with a bit of practice and lasts ages! This is always on offer in Boots or Superdrug so really worth a go!
What other eyeliners does everyone else love?

I'm always looking for a good eyeliner. My current fav is one from Maybelline, it's their Unstoppable eyeliner.

I saw that one in Boots the other day, it's had some great reviews!

I still really like the Loreal Carbon Gloss liquid liner, but its staying power isn't the best, so I've gone back to Barry M's liquid liner which is brilliant but the brush is a little stiff.
ReplyDeleteI love S&G Smoulder Kohl! I picked one up in a 3 for 2 ages ago, loved it and bought 3 backups :') It's amazing
xx
So many people have said that about S&G, such a bargain too!

Youve definately persuaded me to try the GOSH liquid liner and the Soap & glory.. im not a massive hoarder of eyeliners either - i tend to stick to what i know. I must admit im a fan of the Loreal Carbon Gloss (huge suprise there) but i also really like the Barry M Kohl Liners xx
ReplyDeleteI've never tried the Carbon Gloss even though it's so raved about, might have to eventually give it a go!! I'd seriously recommend the S&G Smoulder Kohl it's incredible for the price!

I do love a bit of liquid liner pen action but I dunno if the Barry M one would be a bit thick for me? I really want to try a gel eyeliner too and you're swaying me towards the Maybelline one

The Maybelline one is amazing, granted I've never tried any others but this is so good I don't see the point in spending more on a different one that I might not like as much! Yeah Barry M is very thick, guess it depends on the sort of line you like?

It's making me want to try the soap and glory one, looks really pigmented
