Korean Eye Liner Reviews [Liquid / Pencil / Gel]

Anyeong! Most fangirls know that in South Korea, makeup is a need. It is a part of their daily lives. Even men become endorsers of many different cosmetics brands.

The most commonly used type of makeup used is the eyeliner. Korean men and women are born with monolids, so in order to have double eyelids, they either have it surgically done(Double eyelid surgery), or use makeup.

Why am I using only men as examples? Because I love them, that's why.

Oh! I forgot this was a review. I got caught up by these lovely men. LOL Here it goes.


First, is the Etude House Oh 'M Eye Line #1



It is a liquid eye liner and it costs 198 pesos. It's not waterproof but it doesn't smudge even if it gets wet. Compared to other eyeliners included in this review, this is the hardest to remove even with makeup remover.

Etude House Styling Eye Liner #1


It is a pencil eye liner which costs 128 pesos. It has a twist type packaging. It doesn't last long and can easily smudge. I don't really like this eyeliner because if my face gets wet(or when I cry), it looks like I'm crying black tears. It can easily be removed by makeup remover or even water.


Etude House Drawing Show Brush Liner


It is a liquid eyeliner and costs 498 pesos. It is waterproof and has a thin brush, great for lining upper and bottom lash line. It lasts long and doesn't smudge.

Tony Moly Backstage Gel Eyeliner 01


It is a gel eyeliner which costs 498 pesos. It comes with its own brush(as with most gel eyeliners). It lasts long and doesn't smudge. Since I like to use only a thin layer to line my eyes, I don't really like this because it produces a very thick line.

Brushes


The Drawing Show Brush Liner has the thinnest brush compared to the other three and IMO is best used for everyday natural makeup. The Oh 'M Eyeline is a cheap alternative to the Drawing Show Brush Liner with a 300 pesos difference in price. The only difference is that the latter is waterproof. The Backstage Gel Eyeliner is best when going to events, parties or night outs because of the thick line it produces. For the Etude House Styling Eye Liner, I don't really recommend it because it easily smudges and doesn't last long.


Using only one stroke
