I don't know why I love black eyeliner so much. I grew up in the 90's and black eyeliner was really 'in' with the girls in my circle. But even now some years later I can't leave the house without some form of eyeliner. I have branched out and tried different types of liners; pencils, liquid, and gel. I also use different colors now; blue, green, purple, brown etc. However, it doesn't matter what liners I have in my collection because I always come back to black.
For a long time I was using L'Oreal Lineur Intense eyeliner, I loved it, I thought it was great and for the price you can't beat it. I later switched to Lancome Artliner after hearing it was better than my beloved L'Oreal Lineur Intense. Now some months later I have ventured out again and bought Dolly Wink Liquid Eye Liner, I have been using Dollywink Liquid Eye Liner for a few weeks now. With the addition of Dolly Wink to my liquid liner collection also came the question: Which eyeliner is better?
Lancome Artliner
The Lancome Artliner has a felt tip applicator which makes it a little easier for people who are not use to liquid liner. It lasts for a good 6-7 hours before you see any sign of fading or smudging, however after 6 hours the liner does start to flake. The color is very black, yet dries matte. Lancome Artliner must be shaken before used and retail for about $30.
L'Oreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner
This liner has the same felt tip applicator as the Lancome Artliner, both eyeliners have to be shaken before used. The felt tip applicator of the Lineur Intense also is great for new liquid liner users. Lineur Intense last for 6-7 hours before it starts flaking, or smudging. In my opinion the L'oreal Lineur Intense is very black, it's darker than the Lancome Arliner and retail between 4-7 dollars depending on where you buy it and what promo's or coupons the drugstore has.
Koji Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner
The Dolly Wink liner has an ultra fine point tip, the fine point tip makes it easier to make a precious line. The color is very black but dries matte. This liner has a longer staying power than the other 2 liners, I have found I can wear this liner between 8-12 hours without seeing any fading, smudging, or flaking. This eyeliner is waterproof, and dries quickly once applied. This liner can be found on a few different websites and can retail anywhere between 12-17 dollars depending on where you order it from. I'm not sure how I feel about using an eyeliner that comes in a pink tube with polka dots, but I guess I just have to get over that. This liner might be better for someone who has a little more experience with liquid eyeliner.
You can see the different tips here in this photo.
Here you can see how both the Artliner and Lineur Intense flake. I gently rubbed my finger over all 3 liners, Dolly Wink is the only one that didn't budge.
One swipe of makeup remover, all liners come off easily, no need to rub of tug on your lids.
Overall, I have to say I think my Koji Dolly Wink Eyeliner beats the rest of the eyeliners I use. I know there are other brands of eyeliners I haven't tried but for now I'm pretty content.
So ladies, what's your favorite eyeliner? Have you used any of these liners?

I used Lineur Intense before I discovered gel liners - have not looked back since! But I still want to try out Dolly Wink. Japanese liquid liners are the best!
(&I quite like the packaging of Dolly Wink!)
dollywink is my favourite too!
my favorite ATM is k-palette's tattoo eyeliner also known as the 24h liner. ^^
@Sugar sugar, I have been wanting to try the K-palette eyeliner forever, I use the K-palette eyebrow pen and love it so I'm sure the eyeliner is great too.
whoa i still want to try the dolly wink one !
i love the dolly wink liner! i think it's the easiest to use, the others i just make a mess =(
dollywink is my hg! i think mine is drying up since i've been using it like every single day lol makes me want to try out more dollywink stuff
hands down - dollywink is my go-to-everyday deep black eye liner. great review. great pics and swatches too x
Out of these 3, I've only tried Lineur Intense but I didn't like it because I found it flaked too easily and if my eye got just a little bit watery, it'd flake off -_- And I actually think the packaging for the Dolly Wink one is kind of cute :) My favorite liquid liner is definitely MAC Superslick Liquid Liner in On the Hunt (the black one). Have you tried that one?
Thank you soo much for making this review!!!I really want to get into these liquid pen eyeliners but I don't know what brand to get. Was thinking of the dollywink one but I don't want to bust 18 bucks and have to wait for it to be shipped to me couple days later (im very impatient lol)il try the Lineur Intense for now since its cheaper..then maybe branch out.
Ooh, I feel like getting the Dollywink one! They all look so black! Me like ♥
The L'oreal you just tested here is my favorite. I don't wear liner very often and this gets the job done at a good price.
