Bobbi Brown Neons & Nudes: Ink Liner Swatches and Review

Ink Liner in Really Black














I am always on the lookout for the best liquid liners out there. I am such a liquid liner gal that I almost always pick this up over a gel or pencil liner. I like liquid liners because they are very easy to control for me. I especially like felt-tipped liners because it's just like drawing a line with a Sharpie (or felt-tip pen). I like the precision of the liquid liner because I always like crisp lines on my lashline, and it's very easy to create the cat-eye wing using this.

I was able to try this new, limited edition Ink Liner from Bobbi Brown's Neons & Nudes collection. This is similar to other felt-tip liquid liners I've tried, but the one thing I noticed is that the tip is fully saturated with product, so that you won't have a hard time creating a line and you don't have to draw the line over and over on the same area to achieve the pigmentation that you want. Usually, these kinds of felt tip, Sharpie-type liners are not as pigmented as I'd like them to be. However, Bobbi Brown's new Ink Liner is aptly named Really Black - as you can see in the swatches, it is really, really black, something that I really like in my liners. I don't usually like soft blacks, but I like rich, saturated, black-as-night carbon black liners. The Bobbi Brown Ink Liner fits my requirements to a T.

Staying power is quite good as well. I used it on my upper lashline for work and eight hours later, it stayed immaculate and didn't fade. I am pretty impressed.

I think it's the best of both worlds- I get the precision and control that I want with the pen-type tube and felt-tip applicator (just like drawing a line with your pen), but the tip secretes the right amount of black, rich ink that I would usually get with brush-tip liquid liners, but without the mess.

I really can't say anything more other than I really like this liner. It's pigmented, it's saturated, it's black, it's easy to control, and it has decent staying power. The only downside is probably the price which is $24, but I'd rather pay a premium for a good, workhorse liquid liner which I will be using everyday.
