too water-sensitive, but very pigmented and stays on without smudging much

I was a budget and needed a dupe for my HG Lancome Artliner. This anabelle eyeliner is REALLY pigmented...i LOVE how dark it is! and the brush is super easy to use too. However, its VERY sensitive to water....i know liquid eyeliner washes off easily with water but with this one, even a tiny raindrop removes the eyeliner:( which sucks for me since my eyes tend to get watery during the winter time. I guess my search for the artliner dupe continues

This is my HG eyeliner!!! I've used this eyeliner in Titanium for 4 years now.
Why?

-I do winged lines daily, and this eyeliner lasts 12 hours, no smudging, creasing, flaking at all.

-I have incredibly oily eyelids, and the matte finish this eyeliner creates stays absolutely still.

-The felt tip brush creates precise lines and deposits just the right amount.

-The pigmentation is amazing, charcoal colour with subtle shimmer-just enough to make my brown eyes pop.

-It removes easily with water, so any mistakes can be corrected with a wet q-tip.

Downside is that after 3 months, the formula starts to dry, altering the quality.
It retails for about $10 at Shoppers which is a bit pricey for drugstore eyeliners.

black out by annabelle(canadian brand) is a black eye liner,that i use for my eyes make up. Dries fast,verry black,precise,two time and done! I did use the titatium in annabelle( more grey/black) was nice as well.but for a black eye liner i use this one mostly! For a more dramatic look i would use my maybelline gel liner.for a more natural look and a small precise line,i would use colorstay revlon pen. Overall,annabelle is my day time eye liner and i love it!

First liquid eyeliner I've bought for myself. This one dries pretty fast. After about an hour of wearing it. Like the tip and the pigmentation.
it dosnt slide around which I expected it since I do have really oily lids.

First liquid eyeliner I've bought for myself. The first time I tried using one, the line would smudge into my crease as soon as I blink (I have Asian mostly-monolids). This one dries pretty fast, so I was able to avoid it this time around. After about an hour of wearing it, though, all the pigment moved into my crease and gave a really stupid look, but I have yet to find an eyeliner that doesn't do that, so I'm more resigned than displeased. Like the tip and the pigmentation.

Edit: I wore this for a longer time the other day, and it smudged and gave raccoon eyes majorly. I expected it since I do have really oily lids, but this was just gross. A lot of it traveled to my inner corners, too.

This eyeliner is one of my favourites! I love the way it dries and the tip is thin which makes lines more precise. The colour is very vibrant and the packaging is really really awesome! The lid is super comfy to hold on to. This eyeliner is definetly better then the Revlon Colourstay Liquid Liner. The only con would be that it smudges a little, but otherwise, definetly recommend it!!

Just borrowed this eyeliner from a friend the other week & i have to say its pretty good. I have used all sorts of liquid eyeliners but this one once it dries looks really nice.. Much better then rimmel and l'oreal..

Very basic liquid eyeliner. Doesn't smudge for the first few months. I like how it's a very true black, no shimmer or shine, gives a very precise look. The one thing I didn't like was the tip of the liner. When I applied it for the first few times, my eyes became very irritated and it burned horribly. I don't know if it was because it was one of my very first liquid liners and I just couldn't get used it. It's a little heavy but I find that it's very long lasting, doesn't smudge, very touchable and flexible. Not the best liquid liner, however.

I like this eyeliner. It's not my favourite, but it's decent.
It's black, but I find that there are other liquid eyeliners that are blacker.
It doesn't fade too much, but more than CG Line Exact (<333).
I don't mind the application method, but I like the felt pen type eyeliners better.
It's hurt a tiny bit when it's still wet.

And I really like that it's very matte.

For non-felt pen eyeliners, this is probably my favourite.

The colour was pretty pigmented, but thats all I can say for this product. By the end of the day it left my eyes somehow. Smudges like crazy and melts off without touching. Does not last. Spend a few buck more and get the Maybelline version that actually stays and doesn't stray like this. Also I found this super watery and when applying on the upper lid is would run down into my eyes which is not great when I am wearing contacts. I think its watery formula must be the reason it melts or comes off easy. I won't rebuy,

I really like this eyeliner because it lasts forever and is true to its color and is really easy to control but it smudges like nobody's business and can be a bit of a pain if you have a shaky hand like I do, but overall this is a great eyeliner and was SUPER cheap.

Let me first say this: I am a TOTAL eyeliner-whore. Everyone I know loves my makeup mostly because of the way I do eye-liner. I think I can safely say that I have tested almost EVERY liquid eye-liner in the drugstore department in shades of black and grey..and this is by far, the BEST i have encountered. I have been using this same eyeliner since the 10th grade, and that was almost SIX years ago. This is absolutely easy to apply and the pigmentation of this is absolutely amazing. It is not at ALL diluted and leaves a streak of pure black, charcoal-like beauty. It stays forever and does not smudge..this coming from someone who has VERY oily eye-lids after an entire day of school and work.
Comes to par with many of the high end MAC and lancome eyeliners. Will continue to buy this forever:)

i have been using this for months and months, and i use it everyday. i would say this is the best eyeliner i have ever had, i get it in the dark grey colour, so that its not so harsh as i have very fair skin. it stays on all day long. i used to use revlon eyeliner the 12hr stay on one, but it seems that they changed the formula, so that when you apply you have to do it twice because it's so diluted. annabelle eyeliner is rich enough that you dont have to apply it twice. i love it!!!!

I'm really not loving this.
I bought it and I tried to extract as little product as possible, but because of the type of brush, it basically absorbs the product and you can't release any extra if you feel you have "too much"

Putting this on is always difficult for me, perhaps because I'm not used to it, but every time I begin to draw a line, it's like spilling black ink on my eye. There's too much, it gets everywhere, and I don't get a perfect line.

The product itself isn't so bad, except for the fact that when I used my Wet N' Wild liquid eyeliner brush thing, it came out kinda lumpy / wet ..

Maybe it will be better if I keep practicing & maybe the formula is pretty good (with a decent brush, maybe it will stop cracking!)

But for now, I'm really not liking this product.
I got it for $5 on sale, that's why I bought this.

this is the only liquid liner i buy because i think the actual product quality and the applicator are great. i wouldnt doubt that there is better out there, but i go back to this one again and again AND i am a high-end snob. over time the applicator does soften which means not such a precise line, but the product is cheap enough to replace it before this is a real issue. lasts about 4-6 months, i think. i dont find myself replacing my stock too often

I bought this liquid eyeliner in an 'emergency'; my supply had run out and my usual product was out of stock. And thank goodness!


The colour of this liner really is very black, unlike some other liquid eyeliners out there. The applicator tip is made of felt, and quite fine, which allows for amazing precision. The wand is the perfect size and very comfortable to hold. And most importantly, the liquid WILL NOT SPILL out if the bottle gets tipped over. Very good news if you are clumsy like me.


I think this makeup would last from dusk 'til dawn, if given the chance. I haven't tried it out yet, but I've gone from work early in the morning, to a night of partying, without having to reapply it. It doesn't smudge or flake, and is super-easy to correct with a moist Q-Tip if you slip up. This is a fantastic product, and Annabelle makes it easy enough for even a beginner to use.
