A Review: Nichido Liquid Eyeliner

If I had an HG in liquid eyeliners, this would probably be it. I have been using this for 7 years. Yep, 7 years without fail. I bought this last Sunday when I got my SM Department Store mini haul. 

1.) The applicator brush. Even when I use other liquid eyeliners, I always come back to this because of the applicator brush. The brush is very thin and you can easily draw either a thin line or a thick one with it. I'm sorry I can't give a better description! I tried taking a picture of it but my awesome photography skills only came out with blurred pictures. hehehe

Anyway, one of my requirements in picking out a liquid eyeliner is it's applicator. I know the new ones that come out have the felt tip applicator that promises you an easy application. Unfortunately, I really have a hard time mastering liquid eyeliner application with a felt tip applicator. As for the brush tip, I can wield that baby like a samurai can wield his sword :P 

2.) Formulation and consistency. The consistency of this is of course, liquid. But it isn't too runny nor too thick. In my experience, any liquid make up that has a thick consistency dries up or coagulates (therefore ends up in the bin)  faster than that which is less thick. Plus those make you feel and look like you have a mask on. Too cakey in short.

Well, the same goes for liquid eyeliner. If the consistency is too thick, it feels really sticky on the lids, takes too long to dry, the probability of it smudging is high and is too hard to remove. But I have never experienced these on the Nichido liquid eyeliner.

3.) Does not smudge and it doesn't loose its color even after 12 hours. Yes, I have tried having it on for more than 12 hours. For someone like me who isn't into retouching their make up, this is a big factor in choosing the eyeliner for you.

5.) The price!  This is a big factor as to why I never let go of this liquid eyeliner. It used to be Php100. But maybe because all sorts of eyeliners are coming out, the have reduced the price to Php68 for a 4ml stick. Not bad huh? :)

What I don't like about it:

 

The only thing that I don't like about this is that you have to give it enough time to dry. About 10 - 15 secs before you open your eyes or else it would ruin your already made up lids.

Overall, I give Nichido Liquid Eyeliner 4.5 stars :)
