Majolica Majorca Perfect Automatic Liner

Majolica Majorca's new Perfect Automatic Liner is the 3rd generation of these liquid brush eyeliners. These new liners are formulated with a inky black base to which various color pearl pigments are added to create the individual shades. And indeed, GR604 Emerald Black applies as a intensely blackened emerald shade in just a few quick strokes.


However, being a watery liquid, the application process is trickier compared to a soft gel eyeliner, which does not dry as quickly. The twist/click dispensing mechanism of the Perfect Automatic Liner means that the amount of product in the brush tip is also a bit unpredictable. If there is too much product dispensed, you risk glooping it all over your lashline or ending up with a much thicker line than intended. The trick is to go slow and dispense one click at a time, then add more if necessary. It does take some time to perfect getting a straight line without any bumpy edges. In that respect, I still prefer gel eyeliners as they are much easier to control and blend/smudge compared to a liquid liner, where the mistakes tend to be more obvious.


The eyeliner is waterproof and lasts quite well over several hours of wear. I haven't tried the previous versions before so I can't say how the Perfect Liner compares to its predecessors. It has received fairly good reviews on Cosme.net, with an average rating of 4.4 stars out of 7 stars. Overall, I still prefer gel eyeliners (such as those by Maquillage and Coffret D'Or) but the Perfect Automatic Eyeliner is a good and more affordable alternative, if you can get the hang of how to apply it. When using it for the first time, do flex the bristles to separate them before clicking the end to dispense the liquid, otherwise the bristles stick together in a stiff bunch.
