Product Review: Liquid vs. Cream Eyeliner

So, I've been on "vacation" for the past month and a half, and have been seriously slacking on the tutorials. But I have a few planned for when I get back. In the meantime, I've decided to do a quickie product review.

I recently purchased E.L.F. cream eyeliner in black first, then in gunmetal for funsies. As you may know, I'm a liquid eyeliner fanatic. I love the definition it gives in terms of a line, and therefore the drama. But it's a pain. It takes time to master, sometimes it runs, or flakes, and if you eff up while applying it, you pretty much have to start over. An accidental blink is all it takes to annihilate all the work you've accomplished.

Some of the available colors

Until the above beauty came along. Packaged with the liner is a small angled eyeliner brush. The texture of the liner is wonderful, and deposits smoothly, even with the cheap brush. It's easy to get a thin line or a thick one, and much of your lid is covered at a time, cutting down on the amount of time you spend messing with it. And with the angled brush, a cateye has never been easier. All it takes is a tiny tilt of the wrist to get dramatic wings.

The liner stays put reasonably well, and doesn't flake or crack like some liquids. All in all, this was the best $3 of my life so far. That's it. Three bucks, for a wonderful, pretty, easy product.
