Review (2/5): Great and functional, but similar to very strong liquid latex
Pros:
- fine tipped brush makes it easy to apply
- a fine wing tip is easy to draw, once the product dries and hardens on the brush a bit
- waterproof, smudgeproof, an accidental rub won't ruin it. a hydrogen bomb probably won't remove it.
Cons:
- reminds me of strong liquid latex; sticks to itself and pulls off in pieces. it's difficult to remove without a lot of soap and makeup remover. it gets caught in my eyelashes and hurts like hell trying to pull it out. rubbing it off has been the most effective method of removal after using makeup remover, but then the hardened substance gets in my eyes.
- because it's similar to liquid latex, it makes me (possibly irrationally) believe my skin can't breathe well underneath it.
- dries hard (latexy) in the tube
- if it remotely gets on your eyelashes (which it will), you can forget about using mascara. (see photo)
Other notes:
- it is glossy. I prefer matte, but this is subjective. (see photo. this was taken ~4 hours after application. dried and settled by then.)
- the handle is a little farther from the drawing tip than I'd prefer for finer control
- it took all the king's horses and all the king's men to unscrew the tube for the first time
I'd purchase this product again, if I can't find a comparable non-latex-like product.
