Shiseido Automatic Fine liner : I would love to love you

November 22, 2010 Paris B 12 Comments

There are some things you love straight off the bat like the Shiseido Jungle eyeshadow palette, and there are some things you try your darnest to love but fail.

review shiseido automatic fine liner black

Say hello to the Shiseido Automatic Fine Liner, which sadly falls into the latter category.

This is an eyeliner pen, which is very convenient and not very different from the many eyeliner pens that have emerged over the years, both high end and low end. However, what makes this Shiseido liquid liner pen stand out is that you have to click it to dispense the ink. Hmm… Intriguing? Let me show you.

When you first open the cap, the brush tip is a pure virgin white. The brush tip is pliable but not too soft, so you can get a very very lovely thick or thin line as you like.

shiseido automatic fine liner review

To dispense the colour, you depress the clicky button at the back of the pen, pretty much as you would a clicky ball pen. Click away… for quite a while… until you start seeing the white brush tip fill with colour. This can take a while and I got bored waiting.

But when it starts filling with colour, oh my! It doesn’t stop! So if you have been over-enthusiastic, you might end up with a dollop of black ink at the tip of your pen, which does not bode well for application.

That’s the first time. What about the second and third etc time?

I found that the ink is quite wet. So you don’t really have to click out the ink every single time you use this liner. I’ve gone for about 4 days without having to click to dispense ink at all. This is good, I guess because then it does not dry up so quickly. But its a bit of guesswork. I usually run the liner over tissue to see if there’s colour before deciding if I should click out more ink.

In terms of colour, it is lovely. It is very dark with a glossy sheen that is attractive especially if you are into the winged out cat eye, or even for a well defined eye.

However, my problem is with the texture. Remember I said it was “wet” and thus would keep for days? This is the same problem on the skin. I find that it takes too long to dry. So, if I’m not careful and blink, I’d end up with transfer on my eyelid. It bugs me because it spoils my eye makeup especially if I line after already doing my eyeshadow.

If I’m very careful, it does not transfer, but when I use my lash curler, it disappears, transferred onto the curler. This is very odd and I cannot explain it, but it bugs me.

So in summary, its in theory a lovely automatic liquid liner. You dispense colour when you need it, so it does not dry up so quickly, the colour is lovely and dark with a nice glossy sheen and it applies well with a great applicator.

But the formula is too wet and takes too long to dry so it transfers onto my lids. If they could work on that, they’d be onto a winner.

And hey! I’ve just summed up the pros and cons! 😛 So you’re going to have to decide if you really like this one for yourself.

Pros: Nice dark colour with glossy finish, Applicator is flexible and good for thick or thin lines, Does not dry up very quickly

Cons: Formula takes too long to dry, Transfers onto lid, Expensive, You don’t know when you’ve clicked out enough ink until its too late

My personal favourite thus far is the Smashbox Jet Black liquid liner which came out with the Heartbreaker collection. It too can transfer, but it dries much faster than this Shiseido one and does not transfer onto my curler. It was limited edition and mine’s drying out so it would be nice if Smashbox could kindly, pretty please with a cherry on top, make it permanent so I can buy a back up!

p/s Love to Love you is one of my favourite songs from The Corrs. Here’s the music video so you know which song I’m talking about. Enjoy! 🙂

    Nowadays, I’m even too lazy to use liquid liner. Eyeshadow + wet angled eyeshadow brush is the way to go for me!!

      I actually went through the wet eyeshadow for liner phase and gave up on it because i hated the way my eyeshadow looks when wet, and I hated the hassle of wetting the brush. But it gives such a natural line and is so easy

    i think majolica’s liquid eye liner can do a better job at a very low price!

    Try Elianto’s liquid eyeliner. I’ve tried everything from Shu Uemura to Kose and nothing beats the Elianto’s one. My friend swore by it after it didn’t come off even when she had gone swimming and I love its easy application. Dries quickly too! Do try! Only RM17

    Hmmm I’ve tried most types I still prefer the gel type. Dries up just in time and it stays put and that is coz I have oily lids. Still need eye primer though 🙂

      Come to think of it, I haven’t been using gel liners too. Its just so much quicker to use a liquid or pencil liner than to dig out the brush and gel liner in the mornings LOL! I wonder if mine have all dried up…

    The colors look lovely but it’s too bad it takes a while to dry and that clicky buttonn thingie sounds annoying. I would have expected something better and easier for the price.

      Sadly yes. Lovely product pity about packaging and drying time.

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.
