Review of Clinique Quickliner for Eyes

Company: Clinique (USA)

Automatic eyeliner pencil twists up. Glides on. Smudges to a smooth blur of colour with the convenient smudge tool on the opposite end. Needs no sharpening.

Silky formula is always ready to line and define with ease. Stays on all day. Ophthalmologist tested.

Price: $29.00 to $32.00 (SGD)

Ingredients:

Cyclopentasiloxane - synthetic beeswax - disteardimonium hectorite - arachidyl behenate - microcrystalline wax - bht [ /- iron oxides (ci 77491, 77492, 77499) - titanium dioxide (ci 77891) - mica - blue 1 lake (ci 42090) - bismuth oxychloride (ci 77163) - chromium hydroxide green (ci 77289) - yellow 5 lake (ci 19140) - manganese violet (ci 77742) - chromium oxide greens (ci 77288) - carmine (ci 75470) - aluminum powder (ci 77000) - ultramarines (ci 77007) - ferric ferrocyanide (ci 77510)]

Directions:

Swivel up only 1/8-inch (pencil does not retract to avoid exposing formula to air, which is drying).

Line eyes.

Use the smudging tool on the opposite end to gently smudge colour to desired effect.

Allow color to set for 60 seconds to ensure transfer-resistance.

Recap securely after using to protect the silky formula.

Can be used alone or over eye shadow.

Remove with your favorite Clinique eye makeup remover.
