Benefit eyeliner review | #3

I have never been a fan of sticking things in my eyes. I wear horrible glasses because I'm too much of a wimp to poke myself with contact lenses. I was the worst goth/grunge teenager - I'd dress in all black but refuse to wear the mandatory eyeliner that looks like you've been punched in the face.


So liquid eyeliner was never going to be a make up favourite. The thought of putting something that could run and blind me that close to my eyes terrified me. Untill I found gel eyeliner.

This opened up a lot of experiments (many of which ended with me resembling a panda) and I finally started wearing eyeliner. I struggled with making my eyes match though and ended up with huge black circles on my face. It was not a good look. I rarely bothered because it frustrated me so much.

Then Benefit performed a miracle. They released the holy grail of eyeliners. They're real gel eyeliner in a pen! It goes on so smoothly even a eyeliner-phobe like me can have beautiful matching eyes!



Pros 
It goes on so easily it's as simple as drawing a line on your eye (Duh!) 
The lid is a screw top so you know it's on properly and there is no risk of it either drying out or leaking in your bag.
It stays on your eyes. It's smudge proof, sleep proof, cat proof, rain proof, sweat proof and water resistant (although if you try to power shower with it on, you will end up with smudge black eyes and dark patches on your towel, oops!) 

Cons
It's a tad pricey for an eyeliner but it's a brand you know is good quality and it does do what it says it does.

I am in love with it and I wear it everyday, it's so easy to apply and doing the little flicks is too easy because of the angled tip. I recommend buying this product and then you too can have lovely eyes :)
