MIZZU Eyeliner Pen Review + GIVEAWAY!

Growing up, I think the most important make up tool for me was none other than Eyeliner. I remember borrowing my mom's pencil liner and using it every day after school, admiring how lovely it made my eyes look: bigger, rounder and livelier. I would happily apply it on my eyes, no matter how smudgy* it was.
*Pencil liners tend to smudge easier than liquid ones.

That being said, I tried using liquid liners too, but believe me, those brushes are no beginner-proof. At first trials, you may end up brushing it too thick / too much / too messy and because most liquid liners are kinda tricky to remove, once it goes wrong, you must remove it and start all over again until you get the perfect lines you want.

Along came MIZZU Eyeliner Pen~~~
I WISH it came out earlier, so I wouldn't have to deal with all those eyeliner miseries up there. Oh well, better late than never. At least NOW I get to abuse it. ^^v

See the pen tip up there? It makes applying liquid liner much easier than using the usual brush because it's steady, yet the ink glides easily when applied. It's like drawing with a spidol instead of a watercolor brush. Beginner-proof: check!

The pigmentation is pretty good, not 100% jet black at first application, but it's buildable. The only problem is, if you have done applying it and it's already dry, you don't wanna reapply the liner on top of it because it would wipe the previous layer. So my tip is: apply a single thin line on your eyelid, and if you think it's not enough, quickly reapply and reapply until you get the look that you want, then let dry.

Two days ago, I wore it alone (no mascara, eyeshadow, etc) on my eyes to really see its staying power. It was a very hot and humid day and I was too lazy (or stingy) to turn on the AC but surprisingly, MIZZU stayed on for the entire day! No smudging, flaking, etc, except on the inner corners of my eyes, where it often gets teary.

Despite all that, it is very easy to remove (it takes me only a few drops of eye makeup remover on a cotton pad and I don't even have to rub. I'd just wipe gently and it'll take off completely), so your eyes won't feel the torture of cleansing afterwards lol. I find this a super plus point, because the skin around your eyes are the most fragile, therefore excessive rubbing and pulling can easily cause eye bags and wrinkles.

The market price is IDR 25,000 - 50,000 (USD 2.5-5) for a piece (2ml). Totally affordable for such useful tool, right? I can hear eyeliner newbies cheering out there lol.

One more thing, MIZZU is 100% Made in Indonesia. Yep, you can check out its BPOM number here. Isn't it nice that our local products keep improving their quality, yet they still make em affordable to us? ^^

Done with the review, it's play time!
I created three looks using MIZZU Eyeliner Pen for this post. Here goes!

// MIZZ Schweet //
I applied very thin lines on my upper lids to achieve that innocent-sweet-girly look. Pulled the lines a bit longer and downward to make my eyes look droopily larger.
Pastel Striped Sweater: GOWIGASA

// MIZZ Chic //
For this look, I simply recreated the MIZZ Schweet look and added tiny triangles at the outer corner of my eyes. This is an easy-peasy way to add a stylish and playful look for your eyes.
Cross Sequin Asymmetrical Long Shirt & OBEY Blue Snapback: GOWIGASA

// MIZZ Smokin //
For this sharp and sexy look, I lined both my upper and lower lash lines. The point of this look is the lower lash line: you want to leave the inner corner of the eyes unlined for a slightly softer look, and make sure that the lower lash line connects with the outer corner of the upper lash line.
Leopard Studded Washed Denim Jacket: GOWIGASA
