Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner Review and Swatches

I FINALLY got my hands on the new Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liners from the Sparkle and Glow Summer 2011 Collection! Read on to find out if they live up to my expectations.

Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner

Packaged in a slim tube with a pointy sponge-tip applicator, the Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner is an exact dupe of MAC Superslick Liquid Eye Liner. There are 8 gorgeous colors available, including bright teal, blue, purple, green, olive, gray, brown and black. They all contain microglitter that is so fine it never scratches my skin.

Sequins is a very dark charcoal/soft black with silver glitter while Rock Candy is an antiqued goldish brown with gold glitter. Both colors are gorgeous and a great alternative to your regular black and brown.

Compared to the MAC Superslick Liquid Eye Liner, the applicator felt slightly softer. It went on nicely without tugging the skin and you could easily create a line with thin to medium thickness.

The formula itself was slightly runny but applied quite evenly and dried right away. Pigmentation was good but seemed to vary by color. With Sequins, all I needed was one stroke to get the color I wanted but with Rock Candy, I did have to go over the line again to get a solid brown color.

The best part was it did live up to the claim of being ultra long-lasting. The liner stayed on all day without smearing, smudging or flaking yet came off easily with an oil-based remover like my favorite Botanics Soothing Eye Make-Up Remover.

Overall, Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner was a very nice liquid eyeliner with great color selection and wearability.
