I’m always once for being against having smudged makeup. The easiest way to avoid having smudged makeup you may ask? Getting waterproof makeup. When I received the chance to try out MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Eyes: Eyeliner in Matte Black, I was definitely pleased to find out that it was a waterproof eyeliner.

Here’s what the Sephora website has to say about the product:

An award-winning, waterproof, smudge-proof, and fade-proof eyeliner that doubles as a vibrant eyeshadow. This best-selling eyeliner has become a favorite among all women who fear the dreaded raccoon eyes. Formulated to glide on effortlessly and withstand the most extreme conditions, it stays put on eyelids without melting for precise application and intense color throughout the day. Aqua Eyes is available in extensive range of 25 vibrant shades. Fun Fact: Dany Sanz originally created this product for performers of water ballet.

Really? It was created for performers of water ballet? I’ve never heard that before, but it is definitely a fun fact to know about! Like the description says, I found that it glided on effortlessly and stayed on perfectly throughout the day. I’m not quite sure as to how this doubles as an eye shadow yet, but I’m willing to investigate that matter out.

Here’s a swatch on my arm for the colour:

As you can see, it’s not the purest black you can get, more of a greyish colour, but that makes it seem a bit more natural in my opinion as it isn’t as harsh as pitch black. No matter how hard I attempted to smudge the eyeliner line on my arm, it didn’t seem to budge until I started using makeup remover on it. So, I definitely recommend trying out this eyeliner if you are willing to fork out the money.

Overall, I was pretty pleased at the outcome of the product. It did all it said it would do in the description and the sample size I received is perfect for taking with me everywhere I would want to go! I could even just dump it into my jeans pocket if I wanted to. Although it is quite pricely for a eyeliner pencil, I am willing to fork out the cash because of the great quality that comes with the product. Plus, there are 25 different colours to try from so I doubt I’d get bored with the colour selection.

Score: 5/5
