Lancome Artliner- Precision Point Eyeliner in, "Noir"

For me, I like liquid eyeliners and gel eyeliners because they are so quick to apply, especially when I am in a hurry. Since my much loved Revlon Colorstay liquid eyeliner had run dry, I was happy to try out Lancome's Artliner Precision Point Eyeliner in, "Noir"!

On Spehora's website this retails for $30.50 and it comes in two basic colors, either, Noir or Brown.

I do like the packaging and how it is in a pot form, if you will, with a screw off top. The wand isn't too long where you feel like you loose control, but it is still comfortable to hold, because I know that when applying liquid eyeliner you need as much control as possible.

With that said....

I have a love/hate relationship with the tip of this wand. Let me explain as best as I possibly can...

What I do like is that this is a pointed foam tip and it is great for applying the product when you want a finely precise wing/line. It glides effortlessly across the lash line and transfers just the right amount of product. This will not deposit more product than you need, if that makes sence.

What I do not like is that the tip is flexible. This is just a personal opinion, but I am not a fan of flexible tips because it makes me feel like I could lose control of application because it might bend a little farther than I want causing me to mess up... I like a stiffer tip when applying liquid liner, I just feel like I can control my line/wing better. Yet, again, its all a personal preference. :-)

Swatches Beautifully!

Rubbed My Hand Across The Swatches About Three Minutes After Application

The pigmentation is pretty good and it stays all day long! I have worn this from 7:00 in the morning until 6:00 at night and it will not move or transfer! I love how long wearing this formula is, because you can rely on this staying put without having to fear that your winged out eyeliner will smudge! This formula dries matte, which is great in my case because I prefer that over a shiny finish.

You will notice that in the swatches above where I rubbed my hand across the swatches after a few minutes the middle one looks like it did rub off. But, I assure you, I rubbed my fingers across the swatches pretty roughly. I promise, you will not be doing that with your eyes! ;)

Despite the fact that I do not love the flexible tip, I do like the formula and staying power of this liquid eyeliner. But, I do not love it enough to purchase this for $30.00. Honestly, there is a liquid eyeliner from the drugstore that I love even more for a fraction of the price.

So, I shall save my pennies for some other goodies!




Have A Wonderful Day!
