Hard Candy Stroke of Gorgeous Eyeliner Review
Hard Candy has a brand new felt tip liquid eyeliner available in three shades with its Fall Collection.
I personally suck at liquid lining. I dream of the day I can work a cat eye like Dita Von Teese or at least apply one like her. Gorgeous!
There’s a little something that sets Hard Candy Stroke of Gorgeous Eyeliner apart from other liners of its kind though.
Take the jump to find out.
A felt tipped eyeliner with Hard Candy�s Growth Serum built right in to promote lash health.
Eyeliners nowadays, like mascaras, are embracing the growth serum technology so not only do you get a liner here but also a serum infused one that will help lashes to grow big and strong.
Hard Candy got a little funkier with its packaging this round of products and Stroke of Gorgeous reflects that. It has a fishnet design on the pencil that’s pretty Urban Decay-ish so if you put a heavier emphasis on brilliant packaging this will make you feel right at home.
I tested out Nautical which is aqua shade. The liner has a long felt tip for application. Formula wears quite well and proves very long wearing without issues of fading or flaking up, it’s pretty waterproof.
I didn’t like it because…
The color looks lovely on the tip of the pencil but when applied the color is a bit washed out and pigment is lacking.
I’m not expert at liquid liners like this but I felt like the product’s tip wasn’t dense enough and flopped around a bit.� Plus it frayed a little towards the tip after a single use which results in skipp-y, messy application during my second application round.
The next day the tip looked a little dry as well but I’ll have to keep it around for a while to determine whether or not it’ll dry out super fast or not.
- Those on a beauty budget.
- Those wanting a lash serum built right into their eyeliner.
Those looking for a dense, precise tipped liner.
This one failed to impress me. Even though I’m not an expert in the liquid liner department I can tell the difference between a good one and a rubbish one and this one kinda fell between the cracks due to the rather crummy faded out color application and less than stellar precise point. If you’re on a budget you might want to haul it but there are probably any number of options available at the drugstore that are considerably better.
It’s $5 and available exclusively at Walmart.
