Another product that I picked up on my last trip to the States was Milani Liquif’eye Metallic Eyeliner Pencil in black. It cost me USD $5.49 in Walgreens, and is similar in performance and consistency to the L’Oreal Extra-Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner that I already own.
You can see from the photo above that one swipe is all you need for a seriously black line. It is a remarkably smooth product which glides on easily. However, although this Milani eyeliner is a very pigmented product, its staying-power is not good, and by midday I find myself having to mop up stray eyeliner from under my eye.
Moreover, whilst this eyeliner is very black when applied, when blended it takes on a strange blue-green undertone:
It is only mildly apparent here, but the effects are even more apparent on the eye lid.
As an inexpensive liner, I think this is a good option, but there are definitely better pencil liners out there.
