Drawing the perfect eyeline on your upper eyelids is never easy. Especially if you have small eyes like mine. But once you get that perfect line, it instantly opens up your eyes and makes it look more alluring.

Now, maintaining the eyeliner is another thing. For oily eyelids like mine, kolh or crayon or other type of non-waterproof eyeliner tends to smudge, and in less than an hour i’ll have panda eyes. Whereas, liquid eyeliner is just messy because of my very shaky hands.

I’m an avid reader of beauty, fashion and lifestyle women’s magazines and eventhough I lag in the beauty department delivering up-to-date information, I believe this is one of those beauty 411 informations that we all need.

Flipping through Teens or Teenage (i don’t remember which. And NO I don’t read these magazines. My younger sisters do.) I saw a short write up on Pen Eyeliners from The Face Shop and I was totally intrigued by it. Pen eyeliners would be a perfect addition to my series of eye makeup as I’ve very unstable hands. So, before I knew it I was heading down to Bugis Junction’s The Face Shop outlet. To my dismay, the shop was closed for some annual dinner function, however, sitting next to it was Missha (another Korean brand makeup store). Knowing that similar branding makeup store carry almost the same products, I tried my luck. Lucky me Missha sold a pen eyeliner (The Style Perfect Pen Eyeliner) and without hesitation I bought it.

I’ve been using the pen eyeliner for quite awhile now and it’s easier then using the liquid eyeliner. I hope the pen eyeliner will provide me with practise skills that will be useful once I decide to go back to using liquid eyeliner. The drawback on pen eyeliners is that I can never tell when the ‘ink’ will run out on me.

Oh and another thing, just after I bought my Missha pen eyeliner, I found out that In2It from Watsons carry a similar eyeliner at a cheaper price. Urgh! More research must be done before I settle for a new makeup item.

Here is a list of pen eyeliners available here in Singapore:

• In2It Long Wearing Eyeliner Pen retails at S$9.10, available at Watsons.
• Canmake Pen Eyeliner at S$10.90 also available at Watsons.
• Missha The Style Perfect Pen Eyeliner (S$11.90)
• The Face Shop Easy Brush Eyeliner (S$19.90)

Enjoy trying on these new products girls.
