I love this! It does not irritate my sensitive eyes, a first for any liquid liner, and is intensely, glossy black. The Kryolan cake/aquacolour is the other one that I love. Five star to both, but the Kryolan is a mellow black, this one is rich and deep.
The packaging is so beautiful to have.
N'est-ce pas?
If a particular item of makeup is crucial for you, as eyeliner is for me, why not have it in beautiful packaging? Guerlain never spares on packaging, even if it cuts back on efficiency in some cases (e.g. Meteorites). I love it because it makes applying makeup a pleasant, elegant ritual.
The brush, c'est magnifique. Makes it easy to get precise, detailed pointed eyeliner looks. It's flexible so it won't poke and scratch your lids as others may.
I learned a good trick from watching the makeup artist Ahmad Koubeissy on youtube; he always uses this liquid liner at the edge (outer v) or in the outer edge where lower and upper lashline connect by making many mini strokes.
He then blends these strokes out with a precise brush, and so, it creates a smokey haze exactly where you want it, along with the defined line. You get more control this way, for a tidy result.
He also does another thing which is SO SO GENIUS. He takes two cotton buds, and moves them quickly, rotating them, scraping off any liquid liner that may have blobbed onto your lashes. Even experts make mistakes, after all.
One thing I don't like: it is very washable. This is good, in case you make a mistake and want a quick clean-up, or in case it touches false lashes. On the other hand, I have to be very careful with facial mists and such, by shielding the eye area. Otherwise I will get a little splatter mark where this liner dissolved.
Disconcerting, and means mirror check-ups are a necessity. A bit of a committment, much like red lipstick.
So keep that in mind before purchasing.
BUT WAIT! ZERE'S MORE! Mais oui!
Une vidéo CHARMANTE!
A fool-proof look that can work in any setting.
