HELLO AGAIN! It's been a long time and I'm finally freed from busy work so I'll just do a few beauty product reviews.
Here we have the Kat Von D tattoo liner in Trooper (black), which is my recent purchase from Sephora. I mention this a lot to people but I have the most trouble dealing with putting makeup around my eyes. Due to my habituated eyes to contacts, my eyes aren't as sensitive anymore so now I CAN put eyeliner on my waterline. So let's say I completed Step 1.
This next step is the hardest one for me. Not only do I have hooded eyelids, they're also uneven. One is definitely a hooded eyelid and the other just looks like a double eyelid. It's even worse on sleepy days when my double eyelid droops a little lower so looking at me face forward may give you the illusion that my eyes are not the same size. With this being said, it brings me great hardship to put on eyeliner and put it on correctly.
With pencil, the thickness of the charcoal is not as precise and a bit harder to fix the unevenness without smudging.
With gel liner, the angled brush tip bothers me the most. When pressing down any brush, the bristles fan out-- well, take a guess what happens.
With liquid eyeliner, the application might be the easiest, but with hooded eyelids, opening your eyes after applying can mess up what you just applied. The upper part of your double eyelid will rub against the lower part. Allowing it to dry prevents you from erasing a flaw.
OKAY, NOW THAT WE WENT THROUGH ALL THAT....
Let me say that this might be one of my favorites. The brush is really thin-- easy application, good for thin lines on double eyelids. Because each stroke is thin, it's easier to fix mistakes.
Long-lasting?: 3/5 It does come off when you are wiping your tears away or rubbing your eyes. (I tested a few liners while at Sephora and this comes in #2 while Eyeko comes in at #1)
Easy to use?: 5/5
Like I said, thin brush = easy application.
Pigmentation?: 5/5
Pretty dark and you can overlap for a saturated black color.
Easy to wash off?: 5/5
Yeup, no fuss on this one.
Packaging?: 5/5
Pretty standard tube and size. I typically don't like the springy-ness of the cap but it's probably just a pet peeve of my own.
Would I repurchase? Yes.
