Review: HEROINE MAKE Smooth Liquid Eyeliner
 |
| Packaging is simple, nothing too fancy. |
 |
| Super-Fine Tip!! |
 |
| Only on stroke, top was a bit messed up. Second one was a fine stroke, and Third was swatched with a bit more pressure to show how thick you can draw your lines. |

DESCRIPTION FROM SASA:
Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner has a new and strong waterproof function, which can effectively act against tears, water, sweat or sebum on your face. The function is very long-lasting and has a precise contouring. The 0.1mm extreme fine point allows you draw precise and beautiful eyeliners every single time.
It is an excellent all-around product in which the incredibly fine point can help you freely sketch an inner eyeliner, where color is deep and black, brilliant and bright. The eye power can be immediately doubled. Kiss Me Smooth Liquid Eyeliner dries very quickly, so it can help you make a perfect look no matter how busy your mornings are. It is superiorly waterproof, anti-tear, anti-sweat, sebum resistant and totally waterproof. The color is long-lasting and is easy to use. Everyone can easily draw perfect eyeliner.
PROS:
- Super fine tip
- It's in a pen form (my favourite kind)
- Brush Tip applicator not felt!
- Stays on through-out the day
- Pigmented
- Does not smudge when I tear (especially after I yawn)
- Doesn't transfer down to my lower lash-line
- Convenient and travel-friendly
CONS:
- Pricier than the regular drugstore eyeliner (BUT SO WORTH IT)
- Might be hard to find in stores since it is a Japanese brand
- Is not actually waterproof
OVERALL RATING OUT OF 5:
♥♥♥♥♥
SUPER RECOMMEND THIS EYELINER
if you can get your hands on it that is. I got mine for about $22 CAD at an Asian store in my mall. I believe it's about the same price if I had bought it off SASA if I included shipping and tax. Despite its pricey-ness, the benefits outweigh the costs in my opinion. I have tried a ton of drugstore pen liquid-eyeliners, including Maybelline's Master Precise, NYX Skinny Felt Pen, L'oreal's Infallible 12HR Liquid Pen, Revlon's Colorstay, Physician's Formula Eyebooster and Topshop's Liquid Pen Line. I realized that felt tip pens (except for physician's formula, but it wasn't very pigmented or long-lasting in my opinion) dry out a lot quicker than brush tip pens, and also do not provide very great precision because of the felt tip.
I was almost about to buy the Kat Von D's Tattoo Eyeliner, but I opted for a Japanese one just because I felt like the more expensive Asian make-up products really do perform very well, even some of the drugstore brands they carry. Although I could just get a regular liquid liner, I PREFER PEN LIQUID LINERS because of convenience and ease!
On the subject that it is not actually waterproof as it claims to be, it does however hold up against tears (I know because I always tear up after I yawn), sebum, and sweat. I've always had a problem with all of my eyeliners prior to Kiss Me, smudging and transferring on to my lower lash-line.. so I end up looking as if I have major eye-bags, not enough sleep, or just looking like a panda (angry). But as for water with direct contact, it does fade a bit, and if you just rub it a bit it will smudge. Which I do not mind too much, it just makes it easier to remove after in the shower. It comes off with warm water and light rubbing. I doubt it will come off or smudge a lot when it rains.

Everyday Natural Smokey Eye: Ulzzang Inspired
Hey guys,so this is the look I wore today, it's one of a few looks I often wear to school :) (Just to mention, if you click on the pictures, it zooms in!!)
This look is uljjang/ulzzang (짱) inspired look, and ulzzang means "best face" in Korean and the word is used both online and in real life. Basically, an ulzzang is someone who has a very attractive face, but most people use the term to describe people who have become popular for their looks.
Usually they're looks are really focused on perfect skin, blush, and eyeliner with very minimal eyeshadow. This look I'm sporting is a bit more elaborate than just eyeliner and mascara though.
Sorry, I don't have the best quality camera in the world, so the blush/colours are a bit washed out, but I don't use a lot that much, just for a hue of colour. And I want to mention that I use a fluffy blending brush for the eyeshadows because it gives a very natural application!
First of all, I want to mention that I am wearing the EOS Pure Brown Contacts, just the regular 14.0 diameter. (I might do a review in the future)
- A mixture of BB Moisture Cover in Natural Finish + Magic Premium High Intensive BB Cream in Natural Beige.
- I mix these two because I find that the BB Moisture Cover is a bit too yellow and the Magic BB Cream is a bit too pale, so I mix them. And I apply it with my elf studio powder brush.
- Fresh Umbrian Clay Absolute Concealer in Shade 2 for my under eyes.
- Contour the sides of my nose and the hollows of my cheek bones using a light hand with my Nars Laguna Bronzer.
- Apply blush on the apples of my cheeks using Nars G-Spot Multiple using just a regular blush brush.
- (probably after eye-make up) Lastly filled in my brows with Daiso Brand Eye Brow pencil in Dark Brown. I extended my brows slightly just so it could match the length of the winged eyeliner.
- I did that by aligning the side of my nose to the end of my winged eyeliner, and where it aligned on my eyebrows, I extended it till there.
For my eyes/lips:
- Applied Urban Decay (UD) Primer Potion all over my lids and let it set for a couple of seconds.
- With a fluffy blending brush, used UD's Suspect (Naked2, a satin light taupe) as an all over lid colour (keep it within your crease).
- Using the same brush, applied UD's Chopper (Naked 2, metallic rose gold) on the outer third, making a ">" shape.
- Taking a warm light matte brown colour (Too Faced, Chinchilla) with the same brush and applied it right on top of Chopper and blended towards the inner corner, focusing more on the outer V until it was a nice gradient.
- Using Sephora's liquid eyeliner in Dark Brown, lined my upper lash line only on outer 2 thirds verrrrrryy thinly, and extended it about a cm out horizontally. (so no winging it up! just straight out)
- Lastly tight-lined upper lash line using NYX black eye pencil, and curled lashes and applied Benefit's Bad Gal Lash in Black (I curl my lashes before and after I apply mascara!!)
- For my lips, I used Clinique Lip-Shaping Pencil in Raspberry and applied it only within the inner bit of my lip. Then I took the brush I used for my foundation, and with the residue left over, just brushed it on my lips so that it took a tiny bit of my natural lip colour away.
Tada~ That's the final look, I hope you guys enjoyed ... reading all of that~ hahhahaLet me know if you guys liked or hated this look down below:)
Bye says Ttalgi~
