Review: I was buying new eyeliner and decided that my new favorite was Covergirl's Eyelights in Pearl Black (I think that's what the color was called). It's my favorite because it was the longest lasting eyeliner I've ever used that doesn't smudge as much as others I've used and doesn't migrate into my crease as soon as others. I went into the Covergirl section and saw this display. It was also one of the cheapest eyeliners they had ($5.94). It states that it is "Crease proof", "Smudge proof", "Long lasting", and "Waterproof". It also states that it allows expert precision and the darkest, boldest colors. This sounds perfect right? Well, I'll just state now that this was the biggest disappointment that I've experienced when it comes to eyeliners!
It deserves an only one rose rating because of how big the disappointment was!!
When I first tried it, I loved it. As I applied the eyeliner, it really did have a really dark, bold black color. It was very solid and smooth and glided like a breeze. It did give me great precision and because it's so bold, it looks like I've used a liquid liner without the hassle of a liquid liner. So I was really impressed and had high hopes that the other statements were true. I have oily eyelids. A horrible problem of mines, because I can't really wear eyeshadow, even with primer, it still will gather at the crease (just not as bad with the primer). So I was hoping, since this eyeliner was the only eyeliner with the "Crease proof" claim, that it really was "Crease proof".
The Eyelights eyeliner will not smudge until toawrds the end of my work day, so it will be smudge proof from 6am to about...2 or 3 pm. It also depends on how much laughing I do or smiling. It also goes into my crease but only at the end of the day and it isn't that much. I can also sleep with this eyeliner, with other eyeliners, when I sleep, it will smudge and look all crazy. This is why I love Covergirl's Eyelights eyeliner.
This Ink It! eyeliner was a huge dissapointment. It smudged after 3 hours, giving me the horrible racoon under eyes. It went into my crease. It didn't smudge on my lid where others would go into my crease and spread around on my lid, this one just creates a really defined dark line in my crease.
I haven't tested the waterproof part as I do not go swimming but since it smudges so much and even though sometimes I cry and laugh, I can't tell whether it smudged from not being waterproof or if it was already smudged.
Don't even try this eyeliner. Yes, it's dark and provides great precision, but you will not want to deal with the constant smudging underneath your eye and constant crease migrating. I will now just go back to buying the Eyelights eyeliner.
