Review: Solone Perfect Drawing Eyeliner

[Products are not sponsored and all reviews are honest opinions!]

This buy was a total accident.

Flo and I were hanging out at Sasa and I swatched a random eyeliner. 

That night, after I washed my hands and bathed, IT WAS STILL THERE.

And I went on a mission to find it, 

Was majorly happy when I found it haha 

I think it was the pretty packaging!

So I'm constantly on this lookout for pencil eyeliners to line my tightline 

When I lined it, it tends to touch my waterline and smudge on the lower lid. 

PANDA ALERT. Was very excited to find one that that stayed on my hand even after I bathed.

So apparently it says that the cap is topped with Swarovski Crystal. It doesn't add to my buy/no buy factors but anything shiny is always pretty. 

It also comes with a handy pink sharperner! That's pretty neat. 

Apparently, it dries within 10 seconds , is water proof and oil resistant which means you won't get any smudges whatever!

Sounds pretty much like any liners out there that promises these conditions!

So this is ONE stroke and I'm absolutely amazed by the pigment. 

I decided to try it with my other liners and do a smudge test.

I grabbed a few liners that I own and swatch it together with Solone one.

SMUDGE TEST

After ten minutes,

I rubbed all four liners at once with my thumb.

I don't know what results I was expecting but Dollywink and Étude House failed the test haha Surprisingly, NYX also held up to the smudge test!

AND SOLONE STOOD UP TO IT!

WATER TEST

So I decided to re-line the Dollywink and Etude House and do another test!

I used Mama Lemon dishwasher and simply used water to rinse it off. I just pump the soap on it and run it under the water and just lightly use my fingers to wash off the suds.

As you can see, Dollywink, NYX and Étude House failed the test BUT SOLONE IS SOME POWERFUL STUFF. But I'm impressed that Dollywink is not fully removed as well haha

Now for the final test- OIL TEST

Because everything was almost gone, I cleansed my hand with make up remover and re-line all four liners and waited 10 minutes. Then I took my L'oreal Mythic Oil for hair and rubbed it across. 

Do note that I rubbed it back and forth for about four times.

EVERYTHING WAS ALMOST GONE BUT LOOK AT SOLONE.

the smudging around it was caused by Étude house, which in my opinion, smudged the most.

FYI, I did concentrate on just Solone with the oil and rubbed it but really, aside from a little disappearance, it was not budging.

it was going strong and officially passed all my tests. So I'm gonna put it to a full day wear!

//Update

So I decided to out it to test with a minimum of 12 hours eye wear. 

I put it on at 710am so this is my freshly-applied eye 

(Sacrificing my look here hahaha but just to show you guys how the tightline looks when I first applied it and waited 5 mins for it to dry). I drew on my liquid liner as per normal after lining my tightline.

Had to rush with the mad traffic to get to Tanjong Pagar for staff meeting at 9am and then walked under the sweltering sun to get to the office at 1230pm. So this how it stood up.

Ok, my eye area look pretty good. Take note I walked under the sweltering hot sun for 15 minutes and my skin is like an oil factory. Aside from a little flaking, my liner was going strong! 

And finally at 7pm! 

As you can see, there was a little flaking off but it did not smudge on me the entire 12 full hours. I did not retouch it throughout. My oily skin kinda made my liquid liner flake off even.

For $14.90, the staying power of this eyeliner was kicking ass compared to a lot of better brands? It stayed up to its promises and it's at a really affordable price. So far, I know this product can be found at Sasa only. 

It's a definite re-purchase for me. That's for sure!

Have you tried this brand before?
