L’oreal Extra Intense Eyeliner Pencil

After our fabulous April’s product rave, I decided to give this liner a try.  After all, who doesn’t like an intense black liner?  I also found that I loved the liquid liner from L’oreal as well, so I was excited about the prospect of having found the ultimate black pencil liner.

A couple first thoughts on this product:

-a perfectly dark, intense black (hard to find with drugstore brands)
-insanely smooooooth, easy application
I used this liner to ‘tightline’, which is when you apply liner into your lash line.  It looked perfect and I was more than pleased with the pigmentation.

Until, of course, an hour later when I looked in the mirror and I had raccoon eyes.  At work.  After speaking to  a couple of patients about their discharge instructions, the way they watched me speak prompted me to check myself in the mirror.  Lo and behold, I had black streaks of the liner under my eyes.  *sigh*

But see, that’s my problem when it comes to MY eyes.  Is it my asian shaped eyes?  Oily skin?  Probably both.   So it’s probably not the product, but my eyes that are the factor.

So with that, I recommend this to those who want a high quality, very pigmented liner.  For those who may be like me, who easily suffer from raccoon eyes (waterproof or not!), keep on searching!

So to our readers– am I alone on this endeavor to find eyeliner that I can tightline with?  Is there an eye product that you swear by that you can tightline with AND does not give you raccoon eyes?
