Review + Swatches: MakeUp Revolution Awesome Double Flick Liquid Eyeliner

Everyone needs that perfect black eyeliner that lasts all day long and is as dark as dark can be. I've come across a few liners that I've become obsessed with over the years, falling for both gel liners and then pen style ones as well. As you may have noticed from my Instagram I've gotten into the more vintage/pin-up/rockabilly thing recently and this particular eyeliner has been my latest savior!

As always I've included a summary at the end :)

The Basics
Where do you really start with a felt tip liner? I guess the best place would be with the one thing that sets this apart from the rest is that it's double ended. Yep, you heard that right, you don't just get one felt tip, you get two! One end is thicker, with the other being very fine. This does come in just the one colour, black, which is the best shade to have if you're just going to have one! But it would be nice to see some fun colours appearing, especially as we're heading into the summer (I can dream!). This is available from MakeUp Revolution for £3.50*

What did I Think? Lets start with just saying how intense and black this is. Super black! It applies beautifully too, I don't find that it drags too much and because there's two thicknesses it makes it so much easier to apply. You can get the basic shape with the thicker end and then define and create flicks with the thinner end -

check out my last tutorial to see this in action, link. Or if you just want a thinner line then the thin side works great for this too. The formula isn't completely budgeproof I find it will smear a little when I get watery eyes (but I've only found 1 or 2 of many that don't!). Other than this I find it lasts really well - although if you're not going to wear eyeshadow with it I'd recommend putting some face powder on your lids to stop in transferring.

The Good - Pigmented, easy to use, 2in1, cheap, value.

The Not so Good - can transfer if used alone, only 1 shade.

Price & Availability - £3.50*, MakeUp Revolutions Website.
