4 AVON Eyeliners: Review + Swatches


Today I'm going to review four different AVON eyeliners for you. Each of them are either bad, or good, in their own way. Swatches are below as well as detailed descriptions of the liners themselves. All are roughly $5-$8 from an AVON representative or shop.avon.com 


From L to R:

  1. AVON Feeling Fine Ultra Thin Eyeliner in Topaz Jewel - I absolutely hate this eyeliner. As you can see from the swatch its tiny and would be great for thin lines, if it were pigmented at all. Its hard, not creamy whatsoever, and basically works as well on eyes as a kids colored pencil. It literally hurts to apply this liner and try to make it visible. Swatch above shoes 6-7 strokes on my arm...
  2. mark. Eye Marker in Enchanted Forest - These liners are sold by AVON and are really nice. Its very pigmented, the swatch above shows one swipe with the liner. This shade is what i like to call "jade" or "forest green", it pairs well with similar shades of eyeshadow and gives a fresh, different, dramatic look. 
  3. AVON Glimmersticks Diamonds Eyeliner in Black Ice - This is by far one of my favorite eyeliners. Its black, creamy, opaque/pigmented and has tiny specks of silver glitter to give your eyes just the right amount of shimmer. It can be used as a thick or thin liner, applies really smoothly and lasts all day.
  4. AVON Glimmersticks Diamonds Eyeliner in Brown Sugar - This is also by one of my favorite eyeliners. Its brown, opaque/pigmented and has tiny specks of silver glitter also. It can be used as a thick or thin liner, applies really smoothly and lasts all day.



I also own a few other AVON brand eyeliners in different shades but they're mostly variations of black or brown, and this review gives you a good idea of the quality you're getting.
