Melissa's DeLush Downlow: Liquid liner has always been a tricky situation for me. I detest any that make too bold a line, because inevitably I will make a globby, uneven mark above my eyelid. That's just me. Choosing the right formula that won't smudge after a few hours has also been an issue. I've really not been a huge fan of liquid liners because of these things. So when I saw this one by Estee Lauder, I got pulled in by the packaging design and colors available.

The applicator is indeed extremely fine, which means that you don't have to worry about the 'gloop factor', and the color can be built up as narrow or as thick as you prefer. It also lends itself much easer to lower lid application.

I tried this liner in Plum Cassis, and found that for a liquid, it had very good wearability, and lasted the entire day at work without smearing or smudging.
