In superdrug last week, I spotted Barry M's 'Bold waterproof liner' for £3.99 (Bargain!) and picked it up in black.
I decided to test it out 6 different ways:
* Upper lashline
* Lower lashline
* Waterline
* Tightline
* Smudged along upper lashline
* Smudged along lower lashline
Here's my thoughts:
* Upper lashline: Creamy and smooth to apply
Lasted 8+ hours (only came off because I washed it off)
Colour didn't fade or smudge at all
Not so easy to get a 'flick'
* Lower lashline: Lasted around 2 hours then colour faded to a grey colour
After around 2 and a half hours liner appeared to 'drop' to under eye area
* Waterline: Smooth application
Extremely pigmented at first
Colour started to fade after around 2 hours
* Tightline: Glided on so smooth
Didn't transfer to waterline (I find with other pencil liners the colour transfers to waterline when I shut my eye/blink)
Colour didn't fade at all
Lasted 12 hour, stayed as pigmented as when I first applied
*Smudged along upper: Smudges easily
Once dry, stays put
Colour faded very slightly
Lasted 8+ hours (only came off because I washed it off)
* Smudged along lower: Isn't as pigmented, need to layer it up for very black
Smudges easily
Dropped to under eye area after around 2 hours
The claims:
* 8 hours wear
* Smooth as liquid liner
* Waterproof
For the most part, I did find that it lasted 8+ hours (mainly when used on upper eye area). I definitely agree that it's smooth as a liquid liner and that it's waterproof. It took me a while to wash it off, not complaining though :P
The lowdown:
* Cost - £3.99
* Colours - 7
* Extremely creamy
* Very smooth to apply
* Smudges easily when you want it to
* Does what is says 'on the tin'
* Takes slightly more effort to remove from tightline
* Definitely buying more
* Definitely buying for kit
* Definitely recommend
