L'Oreal Extra-Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner Review



It took me a while to come up with a review of this product but I should have done this earlier because I am really impressed with this eyeliner. The name fits it perfectly. The product is in pencil form but it glides on the skin just like a liquid eyeliner would - intense, dark, and very smoothly. I've never seen a pencil eyeliner this "liquidy" before. I've encountered pencil liners that are creamy and easy to apply, but not in this sort of liquid way.



This is perfect for those days when you want a precise line and you can't find your liquid eyeliner. It is also perfect for those eyeliner newbies who are intimidated with liquid eyeliners and yet want the precision only a liquid liner can produce. This is great on the upper lashline to create a sharp, precise line complete with a cat-eye flick if you prefer. Just make sure you sharpen this baby prior to application so it can create a thin, dramatic and precise line. This would also be great on the waterline and to tightline. It creates a very dark line that is perfect for emphasizing eyes.

What is more amazing is that after I swatched this on the back of my hand, it wouldn't smudge after it has dried. I tried to smudge the line with my finger and it just wouldn't budge. That means this has really great staying power and just like a liquid eyeliner, it doesn't smudge as easily as your regular pencil liner. However, it is imperative that you let the line dry completely before touching it, or else it will smudge.

The downside to this product is that for people with oily skin, this product might still smudge even after drying. It is therefore a must that both the upper and lower lashlines are primed with an eyeshadow primer in order to prevent the product from migrating to the undereye area, especially if you have oily lids.

All in all, however, I am amazed with the L'Oreal Extra-Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner. This is really a good marriage of liquid and pencil eyeliners. I love the convenience of the pencil form with the performance of a liquid eyeliner. Try this product for yourself, and to be safe from smudging, always prime your eyes with eyeshadow primer before application.
