blinc Semi-Permanent Liquid Eyeliner

I have a love-hate relationship with eyeliner. I need it, especially because I wear glasses. Blinc really is the best I've found, and believe me, I've tried A LOT! I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because, honestly, sometimes the line gets watery toward the end of the brush stroke and has to be touched up, and because it isn't nearly as easy to get off as the ads suggest. But the good news about that is it also lasts and does not need to be refreshed throughout the day or into the evening. It glides on easily and gives nice definition. My eyes are easily irritated and sometimes tear. Blinc stays where I put it on the lid and does not get into my eyes, so it doesn't irritate even my sensitive eyes. Bottom line is, while it isn't perfect, it's the closest product I've found to date. I'll keep buying it until and unless I find something better!

I have worn Make Up Forever's Pro Liner for the last decade. It's being discontinued and so I have been searching high and low for a suitable replacement. It has to be waterproof, long lasting, matte and not thick! I also have to use a brush, not a felt tip thingy because I am old school. First one I tried, Mac Liquidlast but it was soooo thick that it was impossible to get a smooth line without globs. Second one, Thrive Causemetics. Not matte, not waterproof so off the list. I was very disappointed in that one. Easy application for a beginner but it didn't stay on well either. Third, Blinc. This one rolls right up into a little ball when dampened and with a light amount of rubbing. Maybe that's what they designed it to do. But, I live in humid Florida and work outside so that one didn't make the cut. I did like the brush, the color and the way it applied but I don't believe for a second it would be a long wearing eyeliner (which isn't that the point?) The fourth one was Kiko Milano. This one is in a class by itself. This one isn't coming off without using a remover and an eyewipe (which I have, so not a problem!) For me, this one is the winner thus far. It's a little bit thick but so much thinner than Mac's Liquidlast that I'll adjust. You might need a makeup brush dipped in remover until you get used to the formula. The fifth, and the biggest loser in the race is Wunder 2 Super Stay Liquid eyeliner. I am really mad I bought that. I knew their pencils were junk (you cannot sharpen them at all because the pencil is plastic and the liner itself is extremely soft.) If you complain, you will get the answer "You need to use a professional pencil sharpener." Yeah, right! Whatever that is! This liquid eyeliner comes right off, it isn't matte, it has a weird felt tip thingy, and it's not even a nice rich pigment. I will be testing more before I settle on Kiko Milano for sure but so for, it's the closest thing to MakeUp Forever Proliner (not to be confused with Make Up Forever Aqua liner...which I don't like.) The next one tested (and the most expensive was Guerlain at $38) ouch! Useless as far as being waterproof. I found it useful in a way though because the eyeliners that are waterproof sometimes go on uneven because they are thick. Maybe some of the others can be used to even out the thicker liner when it doesn't go on as easily. The final two are Bobbi Brown and a stage make up called Ben Nye. Neither compared to the Mac Liquidlast or Kiko Milano but Bobbi Brown's comes in third thus far. I hope this helps someone. Feel free to ask questions. I am 56 and have worn eyeliner since my teens. I am a tour guide and a retired fitness instructor so I know what stays and what smudges, runs, or disappears. I wish these make up companies would quit putting shine in everything. Eyeliner that looks like patent leather looks garish on women over 35!

This is LIQUID LATEX eyeliner, people!!!My fiance gave me a tube, and I was like "huh? Really?" Because I thought NOTHING would EVER get me to switch from my MAC gel eyeliner and brush.I've been wearing a cat-eye winged eyeliner since I was in high school and it has NEVER been so easy in my LIFE!!!!I'm a total convert.My eyes have always watered a lot because of allergies and I've tried OH SO MANY supposedly "waterproof" eyeliners before but they all have totally failed, so depending on what brand I'm wearing my wings need to be reapplied every hour to few hours. NOT THIS STUFF!!!I can put it on, go to work all day, go out at night, go party, even fall asleep in it and it will STILL look like I've just applied it when I wake up the next morning!And when I want to take it off? No getting a makeup remover cloth, or washcloth and face cleanser, and scrubbing and scrubbing and scrubbing only to find out you have barely made progress!!NO! All I have to do is moisten my fingertips and glide them along the eyeliner and it just easily glides off in a strip or in small clumps.Oh! And application has never been easier too! The brush is the perfect size to either draw a very fine line, or to do a bolder look. It goes on like silk.As I mentioned before, I have been wearing a cat eye almost all of my life and I've never received so many compliments until I switched to this brand. Plus, now people always ask what brand I use and I'm so happy to sing the praises of BLINC!!!I swear, I hope they never stop making this stuff because it is the only eyeliner I'll ever use now. It truly is THAT good!

I don't understand what people are talking about with this eyeliner... It is alright, definitely not a show stopper. I have used liquid eyeliners for approximately 10 years and I regularly wing my eyeliner.This is one of the worst I have used from an application ease stand point. The applicator is not stiff enough and causes uneven distribution of eyeliner across the eye. It is a very narrow brush tip.Formula dries quite matte and does stay throughout the day which is the only reason the eyeliner is getting three stars. Although it takes a little too long to dry which has caused me some trouble when applying. It is also quite disappointing there are only one brown shade and not a black-brown.

I love Blinc mascara and eyebrow mousse, so I figured I might give the eyeliner a try. Honestly, I'm not a person who normally wears eyeliner...only on special occasions, and at night. I find that most eyeliner smudges while I'm wearing it and just ends up looking dirty. I wasn't looking for sharply defined wings. I got the brown color to just do a thin line around my top lashes. It's easy enough to apply. The brush is super thin, so you have to get just the right amount of product on the brush. I agree with some other reviewers in that it takes a little practice to get a steady line. It stayed in place nicely and was an effortless special occasion look for someone who prefers a natural look.
