I love putting eyeliner. I think it adds a certain oomph to the overall look especially since I am not a fan of applying thick makeup when I go out. To me, a very minimal makeup is better for an everyday, “natural” look. And for somebody like me who doesn’t want to bother with all the contouring that is an on-going trend in the makeup scene these days, adding an eyeliner is the way to go.

Back in the day when I was struggling to apply eyeliner, I prefer to have more variants of eye shadow so I can mix-and-match the color of my eye makeup wit my clothes. But now that I sort of “mastered” or at least, able to apply eyeliner decently on my eyelids, I love having more eyeliner colors instead. This way, I only need to have the basic neutral color of eye shadows and only be a bit playful with the eyeliner to change my look a bit.

I have only one eyeliner pencil and mostly have gel eyeliners. I used to only have gel eyeliners in small pots but now, I also buy Korean gel eyeliner pencils. I don’t know why but I prefer the look of gel eyeliners not to mention I find it longer lasting than the pencil counterparts. I never carry a retouch kit with me when I go out so it is safe to say that my makeup needs to last the entire day without retouching.



I wanted to try using other eyeliner colors apart from the traditional black or brown. Way before, I wanted to have other eyeliner colors but realized that it is not too common with “pharmacy brands” such as Maybelline. I resorted to Bobbi Brown (my top-pick for makeup products) but then, the price tag for each gel eyeliner pot is just too much for me. I then discovered Korean makeup brands and love they have cheap-ish gel eyeliner pencils in various colors to boot!

When I was starting to buy Korean makeup products, the Liole Glittering Eyeliner in Glam Bronze (No. 7) was one of the first products I bought from Jolse. I thought that since summer was approaching, I can play around with my makeup colors and add something a bit more shimmery to my eyes.

It is the first time for me to buy Liole products. But because it was reasonably priced ($4.72 for a 1.2g pencil), I gave it a try. I applied a dark brown eyeshadow to my eyes and decided to pair this bronze eyeliner to add a bit of glitz. Since it is a pencil, it was very easy to apply on my eyelids without the hassle gel eyeliner pots sometimes has. It glides smoothly on my eyelids and very pigmented. I actually have to be really careful applying so to avoid putting too much of the product.



It is a shimmer eyeliner but noticed that the “glitters” are smaller than the Holika Holika gel eyeliner pencil I bought from Jolse. Apart from that, I also noticed that this one actually dries and sets in my eyes, too. So even if I “accidentally” scratched my eyes, there’s not much of it that gets in my fingers as a result.

Overall, I am really happy with Liole Glittering Eyeliner and love the pop of color the bronze variant gives the “traditional” brown eyeshadow brings.
