MY THOUGHTS:
Hmmm… I’m going to keep this review short. I’m not very fond of these liners, as a professional. For one, they come in glass bottles. That means that they are vulnerable to breaking in my kit, and they will add considerable weight if I chose to carry multiple colors. For two, the formula is very runny and takes multiple strokes to get the line opaque and streak-free. For three, it is super dry! You can see in the swatch photos how drying the liner is. For four, the purple stains! Yikes! That is a huge no no for me. I can’t send models and clients home with stained eyelids. The same thing happened with their liquid lipsticks. Take a look at the evidence below… (and this was after cleaning my hands three times)
I absolutely cannot justify spending almost $20 on this eyeliner for my professional kit. I would be interested to see if LUSH ends up changing and improving their formulas as their cosmetics line grows.
