It has been a LONG time since my last post, partly due to laziness and partly because I've been trying to cut back on my expenditures. Not to say that I haven't bought ANY makeup since then, but I've definitely purchased a lot less in the way of experimental cosmetics, hence the lack of posts. But today I got a few things I was interested to try out.
This is the Maybelline Impact Express Smooth Felt Liner. It's a liquid eyeliner pen with a firm felt tip, like a marker. All the other eyeliner pens I've used have had brush tips, which kind of bend depending on how you press them to the eyelid. This felt liner has no give to it; it's completely stiff. Which in my case looks to be an advantage.
I tried it out, and it's possible to get a very fine line with this pen. I found the felt tip easier to use than a brush tip; the line turned out much smoother than usual. The color is a nice, solid black.
Out of curiosity, I also attempted a cat eye with the pen. The results are not super impressive since I'm pretty bad at doing cat eyes, but the liner itself performed really well. It was easy to get a smooth, clean line with no skipping, which I usually struggle with when using a brush pen.
Overall, I'm very impressed with this product. I haven't worn it a full day, so I can't speak as to how well it stays put, but application was WAY easier than usual. Generally, I've had the most success using cream eyeliner and an eyeliner brush, but this may have been even easier than that, and I got a finer line. It seems to me that the best aspect of the felt liner is the amount of control it gives you. I would definitely recommend this one for folks who struggle with eyeliner.
