KIKO Ultimate Pen Long Wear Eyeliner

Hello from Kuala Lumpur! I arrived yesterday after long flight from Amsterdam and now I think I'm having jet lag. LOL.. Instead of scrolling through instagram and drooling over any latest collection, I prefer to write a review for you.

This eyeliner is from KIKO Milano. I bought this in Milano Centrale for €6.90 in the end of July. I run out of my Marc Jacobs Magic Marc'er in mid of August, so luckily I've already bought this one.

You get 1ml inside which is twice as much as Stila Eyeliner Pen and Marc Jacobs Magic Marc'er which is 0.5ml each. The pen is in black color and slightly slimmer than Stila if I'm not mistaken. I'm still away from home so I could not compare.

When you look at the first picture above, the tip of this pen is quite sharp and application is easy. Below is the swatch of the product. You can make thin line to bold wings easily. It has matte finish.

What about the performance? Well so far so good when the weather is good. I mean, this is long wear but I find it easily smudge when you scrub with water (I'll post video in instagram soon). As long as you are not easily sweating, this one is good enough. Just make sure you're not rubbing your eyes when sweating. Blot using tissue, it will be okay.

I even wear this for country to country travel in Europe and have no problem with this. Citywalk, city transport, country to country bus, train, flight, you name it, this baby has gone through it all. 

Below is the picture when we were in Praha, eating Trdelnik after few hours walk in city center. I don't wear much make up while on the road and don't have any close up picture wearing it yet. (Just wait until I get home guys!).

And if you want to make it more long staying, just put your best primer on. It helps! I'm currently using Urban Decay Primer Potion and find it not as easily removed compared than without using primer. 

Well, I don't know if I will repurchase or not since we don't have KIKO counter in Indonesia and not many local seller selling this eyeliner. But I don't have any regret buying it.

Thank you for reading! Have a good day (or night here) ^_^

Marc Jacobs Magic Marc'er Eyeliner Pen

Magic Marc'er from Marc Jacobs do some magic please?? I have small asian eyes that certainly need eyeliner to shape and make them looks bigger. Since I don't usually use contact lens and don't use fake eyelashes everyday, then eyeshadow and eyeliner are my weapon (or maybe you have suggestion for me).

Eyeliner is placing no. 2 of the make up related thing I've been using after face powder. Means that I already wear eyeliner for more than 10 years (since highschool). 

Sadly I'm not that adventurous to try many eyeliners from different brand. I usually stick to only few brands of them. I maybe only tried less than 5 eyeliner pens. That's why I will not comparing this to other brands.

Magic Marc'er is well known for the precision. From a thin line to a super thick line, you just name it. Above is the swatch of medium line, thick line, and thin line. The color is also the blackest black. You will not find any shimmer in this eyeliner. The finishing is not too matte, but also not shiny.

I rarely do thin line, but I heard some friend have good experience with this. The applicator is not as stiff as Stila, that's why you need to be gentle when using this to extend the life span of the tip.

The staying power is incredible. It will not fade with only water. I tried to smudge it but I failed. It stayed all day on me (10-12 hours). The best remover is cleansing oil or waterproof make up remover. (Read about Biore Cleansing oil just before this post).

I also love the gel liner and will post a review about that too next time.. My mother who never use eyeliner even love them too. So stay tuned my dear..  Xoxo
