Clinique Brush-On Cream Liner by Clinique, Eyeliner Review

7

Okay, not great

I have this and I compared it to Mac's fluidline which is another popular cream liner. This is much blacker than Fluidline and that's a HUGE plus for me. However, this tends to flake off very easily, even if you don't rub your eyes a lot. So that's a huge point deduction for me. Fluidline is definitely better at longwear. Both are waterproof and smudgeproof. Another decent thing is that the brush ...read morethat comes along with this is actually really great. Don't underestimate the power of that brush.

CLINIQUE BRUSH-ON CREAM LINER

This is a very good eyeliner. The brown is very dark but it's obviously not black. Will not budge once on so be careful when applying. I use this on my upper lid and still use yohl on the lower as I find this is too harsh under the eyes. Depends what look your after I suppose. Wouldn't recommend for water line though, would leave that to the pencils. I love, love this eyeliner! I had taken a break...read more from cream eyeliners to save time in getting ready as I have little ones who don't give me much time! A few days ago I decided to give them a try again, so I opened my MAC fluidline & was shocked to find it all dried up and have had it about 6 months. Then I opened this Clinique one & it was smooth and creamy as the day I bought it! Big plus! The color is a nice dark brown that lasts all day on my upper lash line, not as long lasting on my waterline which is the only downside. The brush, like some others have mentioned is not that great, I use an angled brush and it works great. The consistency is smooth & creamy, gives you enough time to smudge it if you like before it sets, I sometimes have used it as a base & it goes really nicely with my dark brown eyes and dark hair. There are no sparkles or glitter either, it is just a basic dark brown everyday eyeliner. I def. recommend and will repurchase when it runs out. Yes. A lot easier than liquid for sure! Don't be scared ladies. Only took 2-3 times of use to feel completely comfortable with it. Experiment and you'll be rewarded. Very easy and versatile-I do cat eyes, thick 60s style and thin natural line depending on what I'm wearing and how I'm feeling that day and it's never disappointed me. Some people say that after awhile it dries up and that did happen after about 6 months of use, BUT if you put a drop or two of glycerine in the pot, stir with a toothpick and let it mix overnight (not sure if that's necessary but I thought it would help) the eyeliner is as creamy as you first bought it. Sure it might look a little funky, not as pretty and pressed, but it definitely works. Hands down the single best eyeliner I've ever used!!! Eyeliners have never lasted on me, even long-wearing and waterproof formulas. This stuff stays put from when I put it on until I wash it off. Once it's applied I never have to think about it! The deep brown color is perfect. Not too red, not too grey. It's dark but not so dark I may as well be wearing black. Perfect!

I have it in Bronze.

The color is very pretty, a warm brown with golden shimmer. The packaging is decent, but nothing special. The brush is just alright. I don't really care for it because the liner tends to flake off throughout the day, and the little bits can get in your eyes. That was the dealbreaker for me. There are plenty of better liners for about the same price, so I own't be repurchasing.
