Colourpop Graphix Ink Liner: Twilight Collection Trio
These were my introduction to Colourpop's liquid liners and the first liquid liners I've used since probably high school, so um... they were pretty disappointing.
Description: Say hello to your new go-to liquid liner! It features extreme colour payoff with a flexible precision tip that effortlessly moves for the sharpest, sleekest lines ever. This long-lasting formula dries down fast and is transfer-proof + smudge-proof for all day or night wear. Plus, it delivers fresh colour with every dip - just shake, line and go!
Forever: Forest Green
Coven: Rich Black with Silver Pinpoints
Vampire: Vampy Red
Price: $10 each for 2 g/0.07 oz
I Paid: $8.25 each (adjusted for bundle price)
To start, these are very easy to apply. Sometimes. When the color payoff is there, it swipes on very easily, you can wipe it off to fix mistakes before it dries down, and then it's basically smudge proof.
However, this was not the experience most of the time. Even if you shake the bottle well before use, the product often comes out looking watered down. You could build it up a bit, but you have to wait for the first layer to completely dry first, otherwise you just eat off what you had. It's inconvenient though, not only from a time perspective, but also because it's lot harder to get crisp, thin lines when you have to trace over them more than once. After a few weeks, I couldn't even use the green one anymore and had to declutter it because the pigment simply wouldn't reincorporate into the liquid, and i basically just had clear liner with a few green specks.
Even if the pigment was there, they feather a bit and i found that they stung around my eyes. Using them was overall an unpleasant experience. I will not be buying these in any other shades.
