A product that needs more hype - Seventeen eyeliner review

This post is all about a product that I personally think is an undiscovered beauty, and that is Seventeen's Tattoo liquid eyeliner.


Having tried everything from Rimmel's scandaleyes felt tip liner, Maybelline's gel liner and MAC's blacktrack, to Eyeko's skinny mini eyeliner, I was looking for something that really did the job- this does.





















The packaging of this product promises '48 hour wear' and of course I haven't tried that length of time, but this eyeliner will definitely last as long as you need, or longer. The eyeliner applicator is thin enough to be super precise, and the formula doesn't dry out for a long time after pruchase; roughly six months. The most amazing thing about this eyeliner, however, is the pricetag. This retails at £4.99, which I think is incredibly affordable for the quality you are getting.
With most products there will be some downsides and although personally these have no impact on my love for the product, I will tell you a few possible problems in case they are important to you.
Unfortunately, the very runny formula that helps the product from drying out, also means that on application, you need a very steady hand and plenty of time or this could get messy- this is no 'on the go' or last minute eyeliner. Also, due to the durability of the product and the fact that it stays put for at least 20 hours (yes that's tried and tested, cue long haul flight and time difference), it is difficult to remove the liner from your eyes at the end of the day. I would say that my normal Simple make up wipes and Liz Earle Cleanse and polish take too long and too much rubbing to remove this, but Bioderma which is my all time favourite skin product, works perfectly with this.

So, it's time Seventeen got some credit, give one of their products a try- or better yet this eyeliner!
