L'ORÉAL Infallible Silkissime Eyeliner Review

I've been on the search for a new, fantastic, black pencil liner. I was tempted to go with an old stand by (the Urban Decay 24/4 glide on pencil), but honestly, I didn't want to pay that much.

I can't even tell you what drew me in to the L'Oreal Infallible Silkissime Liner at the drug store. I saw it, I bought it. Eh. What do you do?

Here is what it looks like before I give my review -

Before I review any product, I like to use it no less than 10 times. I feel like by the tenth use, I have a handle on getting to know the product and how I use it. So lets get to it.

This liner is extremely rich, soft, and glides on beautifully. You really don't have to apply much pressure to the liner as it comes off so easily onto the lid. It's smudge-able if you take a smudger brush or Q-tip to it before it completely dries. Once it dries, its much harder to smudge. Which is why I can't understand why halfway through the day, the liner is traveling all over my eyelids. I hate raccoon eyes, and this liner makes me look like I've cried at some point during the day. I've tried using primers before application as well as setting it with some black or dark shadow. Nope. Still moves. I might also add that people who have particularly oily skin might see that their makeup is more apt to moving than others however, I have normal/combination skin for the most part. I can't imagine what this liner would do on someone whose eyelids become more oily than mine.

This was such a big disappointment. Especially since I was so excited when I first applied it and saw how rich in color it was. It's beautiful when it first goes on, but it's all day performance is WAY under par. I won't be purchasing this again.

I am interested if anyone else has had any experience with this liner - I would love to hear your input!
