Review: Milani Eye Tech Extreme

Black eyeliner is a staple in my make-up collection. Since I have super oily lids, I am very picky with eyeliner. My everyday eyeliner needs to be pigmented, easy to apply and long lasting. Up until I found Milani Eye Tech Extreme, my go-to eyeliner has been MAC's Fluidline in Blacktrack. I still use MAC Fluidline, but gel liners require a brush. Using a brush requires time and unfortunately in the mornings, I don't have that kind of time. So I was super excited when I found Milani Eye Tech Extreme. It's a felt-tipped point liquid eyeliner, waterproof and super convenient to use. The most amazing thing about this eyeliner is that it stays on my lids without smudging and fading throughout the day, with or without primer! I've tested this eyeliner on cold days, hot days, humid days, etc. It stays intact in any weather.

Here is how the packaging looks.

Felt-tip applicator.

As I've mentioned, the staying power is absolutely amazing. This product will definitely not budge (unless you rub it, of course), but is easily removed with makeup remover. As far as pigmentation, I would have to say the Blacktrack is much darker than this product, however you can definitely layer this product to intensify the color. It dries to a semi-matte finish.
You can achieve thin or thick lines.

I recommend this product to anyone with oily lids! I also wanted to mention that this product does not irritate my eyes. I've used this product for 1 month. The product started to dry out a little bit after 3 weeks of use so I have already purchased and am currently using my second Milani Eye Tech Extreme.
