Review: Sleek Dip It Eyeliner in Black


A fabulous liquid liner can be the difference between feeling like Brigitte Bardot and feeling like a toddler who managed to get a hold of a sharpie. Luckily, Sleek's Dip It Liner leans more towards the former.


My favorite part about this eyeliner is the brush. The tapered, sponge-y nib is reminiscent of theBalm's Schwing. This style of brushes works well as a "gateway" liquid eyeliner since it's so easy to use in comparison to the floppy collection of bristles you usually see. Additionally, this style works well for people who tend to use the pen-style liquid liners, but who have problems with the tip getting clogged up with eyeshadow or having the whole tube dry up.


I do have to note that my brush has cracked. The issue is purely cosmetic (no air or germs can sneak in and the tube isn't going to dry out), but it doesn't exactly make you feel like you are getting ready to go to the Oscars when you are using a drugstore eyeliner with a broken handle.


I am not necessarily sure that the crack is due to fundamental packaging problems or due to my extreme clumsiness. I know it's sort of a trope in the media to use clumsiness as a character flaw. Bad writers think, "Well, we don't want her to be perfect, but she can't have anything really wrong with her…". My real life, though, is like a terrible Jessica Alba comedy. Today I slammed my fingers in the car door and broke not one, but two glasses over the garbage disposal.

I have done both of these things in real life.
Anyways, long story short: I dropped this eyeliner. I have no evidence suggesting that people who don't drop things will also break it.


The ink is quick-drying, opaque, and matte as a stick of charcoal. I haven't had any problems with it flaking throughout the day.

Here's how it looks on my face:


The only other problem I have had with this eyeliner is that it was very uncomfortable when I stabbed myself in the eye with the brush. So, I definitely don't recommend doing that.

The Sleek Dip It Eyeliners retail for $6.99 for 0.14 fl oz, or $49.93 per ounce.
