KIKO MilanoDefinition Waterproof Eyeliner | Liquid Eyeliner With Water-resistant Formula

My review was number one on here for this eyeliner for years because I tried and and reviewed more than 8 products but now that it's possibly being discontinued, I am noticing third party sellers on here charging over more than double or even TRIPLE the normal price. Kiko Milano's website showed it was out of stock until today, and I notice they have doubled the price of the eyeliner and it's now $21.99! It's still a drug store grade product so if you are going to pay that price, the only other eyeliner that was better than this one was Mac's Liquid Last. Don't get gouged! The problems I have had with the liner was that it would dry up and the consistency became gloopy after about 2-3 months. The only way I found to remedy those problems was to clean the brush one time with make remover and to use disposable mascara wands as needed. It does waste some product, but it would last longer and not be thick or gloppy. It was superior to all I had tested (except for one) and I bought this for years for $12.99. Now, they have priced it the same as Mac's so I have decided to switch brands. Here is my original review for those interested." I have worn Make Up Forever's Pro Liner for the last decade. It's been discontinued and so I have been searching high and low for a suitable replacement. It has to be waterproof, long lasting, matte and not thick! I also have to use a brush, not a felt tip thingy because I am old school. First one I tried, Mac Liquidlast but it was soooo thick that it was impossible to get a smooth line without globs. Second one, Thrive Causemetics. Not matte, not waterproof so off the list. I was very disappointed in that one. Easy application for a beginner but it didn't stay on well either. Third, Blinc. This one rolls right up into a little ball when dampened and with a light amount of rubbing. Maybe that's what they designed it to do. But, I live in humid Florida and work outside so that one didn't make the cut. I did like the brush, the color and the way it applied but I don't believe for a second it would be a long wearing eyeliner (which isn't that the point?) The fourth one was Kiko Milano. This one is in a class by itself. This one isn't coming off without using a remover and an eyewipe (which I have, so not a problem!) For me, this one is the winner thus far. It's a little bit thick but so much thinner than Mac's Liquidlast that I'll adjust. You might need a makeup brush dipped in remover until you get used to the formula. The fifth, and the biggest loser in the race is Wunder 2 Super Stay Liquid eyeliner. I am really mad I bought that. I knew their pencils were junk (you cannot sharpen them at all because the pencil is plastic and the liner itself is extremely soft.) If you complain, you will get the answer "You need to use a professional pencil sharpener." Yeah, right! Whatever that is! This liquid eyeliner comes right off, it isn't matte, it has a weird felt tip thingy, and it's not even a nice rich pigment. I will be testing more before I settle on Kiko Milano for sure but so for, it's the closest thing to MakeUp Forever Proliner (not to be confused with Make Up Forever Aqua liner...which I don't like.) The next one tested (and the most expensive was Guerlain at $38) ouch! Useless as far as being waterproof. I found it useful in a way though because the eyeliners that are waterproof sometimes go on uneven because they are thick. Maybe some of the others can be used to even out the thicker liner when it doesn't go on as easily. The final two are Bobbi Brown and a stage make up called Ben Nye. Neither compared to the Mac Liquidlast or Kiko Milano but Bobbi Brown's comes in third thus far. I hope this helps someone. Feel free to ask questions. I am 56 and have worn eyeliner since my teens. I am a tour guide and a retired fitness instructor so I know what stays and what smudges, runs, or disappears. I wish these make up companies would quit putting shine in everything. Eyeliner that looks like patent leather looks garish on women over 35!"

This Kiko Milano eyeliner is a real winner! The formula is super smooth and glides on effortlessly, making it easy to create sharp lines or a subtle smudged look. Plus, the waterproof claim actually holds up – I've tested it through tears and humidity with no smudging whatsoever. It's become my go-to for everyday wear and special occasions.

This is the best! I used to wear eyeliner on a regular basis back in the 70s, when it was a cake you wet with the brush. It was good stuff and glided right on. Recently I tried one of the felt tip versions, and it skipped across my aging eyelids, and was a big mess. This brand, Kiko Milano, has the actual fine point brush, which makes all the difference. So much easier to apply. And this kind is super waterproof and almost permanent. It's not going anywhere until I decide it comes off. Love it!

If you need a LOWER LASH EYELINER that does not flake off or fade off, THIS IS IT. That is ME holding it in the photo.I have been DISGUSTED by every single eyeliner I've ever gotten for my lower lashes. I've tried those in little pots, all sorts of pencils, Revlon liquid with tiny brush, even a dry powder eyeliner--you name it. They ALWAYS had loss of the eyeliner by early afternoon. ALL of them. And I don't need that, as my eyes and lashes are pale and I need definitionI finally heard about this one: KIKO definition WATERPROOF eyeliner and started using it over a week ago. And it does NOT come off. It looks exactly the same before I go to bed. I am not exaggerating.And I just did a test. Three hours after I put Kiko on on my lower lash line, I took a shower to wash my hair. And when I got out, it was STILL THERE. You know what was under my eyes?? The pencil eyeliner that was on my upper lashes. NOT Kiko on my lower.So I strongly recommend it if you are also tired of eyeliners that say "water resistant" (hardly) or "waterproof" (not).Also note that I put it on very close to and hopefully "in" my lower lash line, and I have to wipe excess off with my fingers underneath to keep it thin. And it stains my fingers! Ha. So I use Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup remover on my fingers to get it right off. I also use the same thing to remove it at night. I soak a cotton pad, close my eye tight, and it comes off.I highly recommend if you want a TRUE WATERPROOF eyeliner.

Waterproof and smudge proof, yes indeed! I wish the handle of the brush was more precise, it was hard to draw my wings, I had to go over the lines few times to get the jet black effect but overall the eyeliner works great and last all day.

If you found this product looking for a replacement for Milani Infinite - the funeral-proof eyeliner - give it a shot. At first I thought "no, no, this just isn't the same!" But about 3 applications later, the pros became evident. This eyeliner is fairly more expensive than Milani, but the major benefit is that after purchasing it at least 3 months ago, it has yet to develop that goopy, gluey consistency that plagued it's predecessor, so you'll get a lot more mileage out of it. The brush is thinner and less frayed as well. Definitely worth the few extra bucks AND it's still just as funeral-worthy.
