NEW Make Up For Ever Artist Liner in M-10 | Review

Black liner is a staple in most women's makeup bags, including mine. Although I don't wear it everyday, I love it for when I am going for a more intense eye look, and I have recently also been liking applying it to my tight line (tip: if you have blonde lashes like me, this will do wonders for opening up your eyes!), especially when paired with a vibrant eyeliner. Wearing such a dark shade however often entails a potential smudging disaster, and that is where a long wearing liner becomes a must. Make Up For Ever has just released a collection of 15 new ultra smooth and long-lasting gliding eye pencils known as the Artist Liner range which I got to try in the shade M-10*, aka a very matte black. Alongside a few other matte colors, they also released some with metallic, iridescent, diamond and satin finishes - a selection fit to appeal to all beauty lovers, that's for sure!

I own a few other matte black liners but none of them really stay put all day long, so I was really excited to see how this one would perform. In terms of pigmentation, this one is hands-down the most intense back liner I have ever tried. Ultra-smooth, creamy (practically a gel-like consistency) and it does not budge. I love that it is a retractable pencil, making application an easy task. I did not experience any smudging even after very long hours of wear, which is actually crazy since this has never happened before. When it comes to removing dark makeup, I turn to my trusty and well-loved coconut oil to get the job done, although keeping a pad soaked in makeup remover for a few seconds over the eyes can work just as well.

I usually use black liner to create a clean line but it can also be a great option for creating a more elaborate look such as a smokey eye, although you will have to work fast since the liner dries very quickly. If you have watery eyes or are prone to smudging, this Artist Liner would be a really great option!

The Make Up For Ever Artist Liners retail for C$23 and are now available at Sephora, both in stores and online as well as at Make Up For Ever boutiques.
