Heeeey guys!~❤ Today I'm reviewing The Face Shop Styling Auto Gel Liner! It surprises me that I haven't really done a eyeliner review - of course I've done an Etude House one but that was more a under lash liner rather than a upper liner.
I've always been curious about The Face Shop products, there are so many good reviews on them so I bought a eyeliner!
Brown liner to be exact! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ❤

Original Face Shop Price:- 7,700원

Styling Auto Gel Liner
'A soft gel liner in a pencil! A super-easy-to-use pencil-type gel liner!'
● A soft gel liner, which is different from the previous inconvenient ones, is packed in a pencil form for smooth colouring even by a first time user.
● Clear colouring & water-proof functions of a smudge-free eyeliner!
A dark brown eyeliner, clearly defined as if drawn with a creamy gel liner. Highlights the eyes, while the water-proof functions resists water & perspiration
to control smudging for clean eye makeup for an extended time.
● A super-easy pencil type that does not need a pencil sharpener.
An auto-pencil type does not require sharpening as it can be twisted up when needed.

03호엣지카키 Edgy Khaki
04호 엣지그레이 Edgy Grey (Not included on Kpoptown)
Capacity 0.6g
So a gel liner in a pencil form!❤ I love the creaminess of gel liner but you can never be very precise & plus gel liners dry out too fast. So super glad for this pencil! I chose Edge Brown because I want for try more soft colours for eyeliner rather than black.❤
Packaging
The packaging is very expensive & chic looking ❤ㅋㅋㅋㅋ because of the rich browns & blacks!
Sure it's not very cute but it is darn nice looking! It makes my beauty drawer look a bit more professional & not just a explosion of cuteness LOL ❤
It's standard (yet quite strong!) cardboard packaging - I never find this packaging in drugstores here in the UK! The eyeliners are just pencils themselves wrapped with clear plastic ^^
It really does look posh yet pretty/attractive!~ㅋㅋㅋ❤
The picture is of a gel liner pot being poured into the pencil! It reminds me of the Cadbury's milk logo!~ Chocolate! (○´∀`○) ❤

The Pencil
Simple pencil eyeliner with the same rich colours~ It's easy to indicate the colours of the line with just looking at the cap & end~
12 Month Last & indicates the auto twist & sharpener~❤
You twist the brown part to twist up the eyeliner & the black part is the sharpener!
The sharpener is to sharpen the lead to a point for more precise, fine lines when drawing~❤
The sharpener is easy to pull out! You don't have to tug with all your might ヽ(o`皿′o)ノ❤
The Eyeliner
Wow. Sorry for the blur! <丶´Д`> Pencils are the hardest to focus on!
The colour is a rich brown (It looks a tad darker in real life) & is not too dramatic like black~❤
Already from looking at the tip, you can see how creamy it is~❤
Swatches
Oh my gosh, this pencil glides on the skin sooo smoothly!❤ It does apply like a cream gel liner! It makes a huuuuge change from rough, solid pencil liner that hurt to use. Be careful not to put to much pressure on the pencil when drawing because it could be broken easily.
It doesn't even pull the skin & the colour is such a rich & vivid matte brown! I love it more than black!❤
Note - This is my first brown eyeliner ^▽^❤
The left swatch is two strokes & the right is one stroke~ The colour can be easily intensified for a stronger look~❤
Smudge Test
The liner settles very quickly (seconds it takes!) & after it settled, I rubbed it quite hard ^^ Only a small amount of product flaked off - It's still pretty strong in colour! You could easily get away with this~
It's pretty smudge-resistant!❤
I wore this for about 5-6 hours & it was still looking fresh like how I applied it in the morning!
Yay! ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ❤
Water Test
I ran the tap on fast & put my swatched hand under the jet of water - It held really well! ❤
I was wore a terrible pencil liner in the pouring rain while walking home from school & I looked TERRIBLE - a drowned rat with racoon eyes - Ratcoon? heh.
But at least with this Auto Pencil you can still have pretty eyes while looking like a drowned rat! ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Water Smudge Test
I rubbed the swatches after I soaked them. . . Yeah. They died. They do good in the smudge test & having water poured on them . .
So you have will have pretty eyes like looking like a drowned rat in the rain - just don't rub them! LOL
This eyeliner claims to have water-proof functions against water & perspiration - It doesn't ㅠㅠ
This eyeliner may not do too well on oily lids - But it's a try-it-for-yourself-to-see ^^ So don't take my word for oily lids, because I'm not sure (´・ω・`)
Patted dry with a tissue |
Directions Dot along the lash line as if filling in gaps between lashes. Due to its soft & creamy texture, keep the lead short about 2mm to avoid any breakage when using.
To sharpen the eyeliner, twist up the built-in-sharpener at the end of the pencil. Use water-proof makeup remover to cleanse.
On my Eyes
Yeah, I'm bad at applying cat eyeliner <丶´Д`> I rarely use pencil eyeliner so it's hard for me to reach the lash line properly - I'm sooorry!
But damn, does the pencil apply so velvet-like!(ノ*^▽^)ノ❤ It's very easy to use & great for beginners. It does not hurt to use on the delicate eyelids & does not tug on the eyes - I cannot stand eyeliner that tugs my eyes! It just like a gel liner!❤
The brown colour is still quite rich & has a slight reddish hint to it when applying on my lids.
I love the colour though! It's much softer than black & suits my skintone more than black! (○´∀`○)❤
It's super easy to control how thin/thick you want the line to be & you can make the lines even sharper by sharpening the lead~❤
The creamy-gel formula dries pretty quickly - Within seconds! So if you want to smudge a line - be quick!
This pencil can easily applied to waterline without irritating your eyes too! I applied it directly under my circle lenses to bring attention to them:-
& I also drew the liner from the outer corner & out - Then smudged it into my eyeshadow!:-

Overall
I love this eyeliner!❤ It's my first Face Shop product & brown liner & I love it! It's super easy to use without hurting/pulling my eyes & delivers a gorgeous rich yet soft brown that can easily be intensified for a strong look! (○´∀`○)❤ It has become my everyday liner with its gel-like creamy formula that settles very quickly & lasts-long (5-6 hours for me) - as long as I don't rub my eyes or my eyes water I don't rub my eyes with makeup unless somethings gets in my eyes & my eyes are not very sensitive to water throughout the day (´∀`)❤
It's not as waterproof as the product claims but works well enough for me! ❤
There are millions of eyeliners out there that might be better than this Face Shop one but for now, I'm very happy with it with money well spent!~❤
