Skin Tone: Medium fair with yellow undertones

Skin Type: Combination with somewhat oily t-zone and dry areas around the nose and chin which I need to be ever-vigilant about exfoliating (or the blackheads appear). I also have stubborn undereye darkness that definitely requires concealer.

Review: Giorgio Armani Maestro Liquid Eyeliner

What They Say: A long-lasting, water-based liquid eyeliner with a tapered pen tip that provides ultimate application precision. This unique calligraphic tool produces sharp contrast and definition to the eyes. The matte black liquid shade creates a sultry and dramatic look.

* Precise application
* Long-lasting formula
* Elegant matte black shade

Application techniques:
For subtle definition, use the tip of the liquid eye liner to dot color onto the base of the lashes. For more dramatic impact, use the slanted side of the tip to create a wider line boldly extending beyond the eye.

Melissa Says: Liquid liners are always easier to handle and apply when they have a felt pen tip. That was something that got me off on the right foot with this product. Not only is the tip precise, but it is strong enough not to end up weakened and undependable like some lesser-quality felt tips, and yet it isn't so hard that it is uncomfortable when applying.

Okay, but what about the product inside the pen? It goes on without glopping, but makes a pretty and matte line. It lasted all day for me on the upper lids, but did tend to slip a little from my lower lash line, though I didn't tend to use it much there because of its intensity. Usually when doing a full smoky look around the eye I use pencil under the eyes, while using an intense liquid like this on the upper lash line.

This is not only a beautiful intense liner, but if you do dot it between the upper lashes, they look fuller and your eyes pop a little. This pen makes black liner easy and beautiful.
