This liner, like Tabs in his groundbreaking spread for Playcat magazine, celebrates curves!
The shape of Milani’s new felt-tipped liquid liner looks really cool — kind of futuristic, like what I imagine liquid liner pens would look like in Bladerunner.
Instead of being shaped like a run-of-the-mill pencil, it’s curved, which they say makes it more ergonomic and easier to use, and by holding the pen at different angles, you’re able to create different liner looks.
Sooooo, does it work?
Well, it’s easy enough to use, and it feels pretty good in my hands, but truth be told, I’m not seeing much difference between using it and a regular liquid liner.
The liner itself? It’s a’ight. I like that it’s dark. It’s a true black shade, but I wish it was a little deeper and glossier.
As for the water-resistant formula, it doesn’t transfer into my creases, which is a big plus, but whatever you do, keep your hands off it! The formula flakes when I rub my eyes.
I know, I know… Gotta break that habit.
I am able to draw fairly sharp lines with the flexible felt tip, but only if I go slowly (things get a little jagged if I’m rushing).
Eye Tech arrives online and at CVS, Walgreens and Wal Mart stores next month. It comes in a single shade, 01 Black.

January 8th, 2014 at 5:50 pmThese kind of eyeliners always look so cool, I want to try one once to see if it is easier to use. I love your lipstick in this picture!

January 8th, 2014 at 7:18 pmI tried the Sephora in-house brand version of this and it was super easy to use, but it didn’t have a lot of pigmentation and it dried out in about a week. 🙁

January 8th, 2014 at 8:39 pmI saw the Australis one like this…and then the Nyx one…and somehow I’m still not convinced that it’s necessary? But then I’m already used to liquid liner with a plain old felt tip pen/brush style, so maybe I’m not the intended audience!

January 9th, 2014 at 10:34 amWell, it’s nice that the instructions are en Francais. 🙂 I find I’m one of those strange people for whom “ergonomic” shapes tend to work less well than traditional. Of course, it’s hard to sell me on any liquid liner.

January 9th, 2014 at 4:20 pmI’ve never tried any liner shaped like this. Makes me curious to see if iy does make it easier!
