Hey everyone. My everyday makeup hasn’t changed much in a
while and recently I fancied something to mix it all up. I am currently
obsessed with Suzie, from Hello October, and I was watching one of her videos
where she recommended the Collection Fast Stroke Liquid Eyeliner. Suzie has
beautiful makeup and her eyeliner always looked stunning, so when I was next in
Boots, I decided to give it a go.
Now if I’m honest, I do have mixed feelings about this
product. When you get it right, it can look stunning and completely outruns my
Supercat liner, but its tricky to use well.
If you’re new to makeup, I’d say stay away. Liquid eyeliner
is difficult, and you need some skills already if you want it to look good. Pen
eyeliners are far better for beginners but if you feel a bit more confident,
you may never go back.
Apart from the complicated application of this makeup, it
does have a few other flaws. Like other
liquid liners, they go on wet and dry
soon after, so if you make a mistake it can be challenging to correct. Also I
would say that even though this lasts all day, it’s definitely not tear-proof-
so don’t wear this when watching a sad film (I’ve learnt that from experience).
However, if you put aside all these imperfections, you are
left with a good eyeliner. I’ve used it a few times and mostly I’ve ended up
with a good result. This eyeliner is completely black, with no glimmer flecks
that you can sometimes get, and the tip can create a lovely cat-flick. Once it
is dry, it stays pretty smudge proof and will last for hours.
Overall, I like this product but it is normally part of my weekend
routine when I have a tad more time. It has a great effect but doesn’t give me
the quick and easy attributes that the Soap&Glory Supercat liner- my all-time
favourite eyeliner- does. What’s your favourite eyeliner? I’m always up for
trying new things- especially those at drugstore prices! I hope you’ve enjoyed
this review and have a fab day, much love,
