On to the makeup! For years I had stuck with Rimmel's liquid eyeliner but when I went to repurchase it a few weeks ago it was sold out at both Shoppers and Rexall. I picked up this NYC Liquid Eyeliner since it was the cheapest I could find that had a brush rather than a felt tip applicator. I've been using it everyday for the past few weeks and feel like I've tested it enough to give my opinion.
Formula wise NYC Liquid Eyeliner is neither too runny or too thick, it's just right. The liner dries pretty quickly unlike other liners I've tried. I usually have to touch up my liner after around 5-6 hours of wear as it starts to fade but not drastically. The colour of this liner is a bit of a let down for me personally as it isn't very bold and it has a semi matte finish. I prefer liquid liner to have a glossy look to it when it's dried.
My favourite feature of this liner is the size and shape of the brush. I have never found a liner that is so easy to apply. I can quickly whip this on in the morning with few mistakes and the shape of the brush makes it easy to create the perfect wing. NYC Liquid Eyeliner can also be used more subtley to create a thin line as well.
Overall I'm very impressed with this liner as it's very easy to apply. I just wish it was bolder and glossier but for the price I'd definately repurchase.
Availability: Rexall/Pharma Plus or Wal-Mart
Your liner mark looks fantastic, I prefer glossy formulas too, xoxo.
ReplyDeleteThank you Inez :) Yeah, a glossy finish just makes it look more neat.
DeleteWelcome back (ish) and get well soon! If you like the brush a lot, when you run out of the liner itself just use the brush in another formula that you prefer!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steph! I'm totally going to do that, thank you for the tip :)
DeleteLooks great for the price!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great bargain :)
DeleteI tried this a long time ago and it's actually a pretty good drugstore liner I think. I hope things get better for you soon. You definitely need lots of rest. Stress alone can drain you.
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm much more impressed with this than more expensive drugstore liners I've tried. Thanks Pang :)
DeleteGreat review Christine!! :)

Thanks Kendra :)
DeleteOooh, I like that you say it's easy to apply! That's always my biggest problem when it comes to liquid liner! I'll have to give this one a go since I'm on the market for a new one anyway (damn those MAC Penultimates - they always dry out too fast!)
ReplyDeleteI really hope you like it! I can apply this without resting my elbows on a flat surface which to me makes it a real winner.
Deletewow nice lining skills!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jasmine :)
DeleteSo perfect! The brush sounds interesting! I've had to go back to kohl as my eyes won't stop watering at the moment and liquid liner ends up all over my face! Glad to see you back :) xx
ReplyDeleteThis really doesn't run, maybe you'd like it then? Thank you Vicky :)
DeleteThis is the first liquid liner I have seen with that type of brush. Liquid liner always burns when I apply it. I have no idea why. I stick to gel liner.

That is a perfect wing if I ever saw one!
ReplyDeleteThe flick suits you so much! Jealous lol! It really looks fab on you! :) x
ReplyDeleteGreat review Christine! I think I will check this one out next time I go to Walmart... I prefer a more matte finish so this one is right up my alley... hope you are feeling better!

It seems to look thicker than the Gosh Extreme Liner, which is definitely something I love about it. Need to check this out...and I won't feel too bad cause they are cheaper in price :P Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteps glad to hear that you have moved back. Damn that was one crazy week for you with everything. But hope things are settling down now~
