When I received the new I Nuovi Metallogy Metallic Liquid Liner<\/strong>, I was quite hesitant to try it. I’ve NEVER had a good experience with liquid liner which explains why you never read about it here. I just have no idea how on earth to use it!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anyway, to challenge myself, I took it with me on my Chinese New Year holiday and it was the only eye liner I took. Imagine if I botched up – I’d have to redo my eyes every single time! (I did too \ud83d\ude1b )<\/p>\n The I Nuovi metallic liquid liner comes in a little tube with a long pointed handle. I used to wonder why liquid liners came with such long covers – now I know. Its so you have a better grip while lining your eyes. I’d prop my hand on my cheek and angle the brush on its side to draw a quick line and it worked for me.<\/p>\n The applicator is a thin firm pointed brush and when you pull it out of the tube, it tends to “stick” a little, rather like mascara does. So if you aren’t careful, you can spatter some liquid on your hand but its not all that drastic as I make it out to be. <\/p>\n Here’s how I ended up doing my eyes to prevent the liner transferring to my eyelid.<\/p>\n Tilt your head up so you are looking at a downwards angle at the mirror. Rest the side of your hand against your cheek for stability and in a quick motion, draw a line close to your eyelashes from the inside to the outside. Wait a while for the liner to dry before dropping your head back down or blinking. I found that when I kept my head up, the liner did not transfer even when I blinked gently. However don’t try opening your eyes too wide – it can still transfer.<\/p>\n The ink takes a while to dry which can be a hassle if you are short of time. The water based liner did not fade although I was out in the hot sun taking photos of a pink dragon dance \ud83d\ude42 and neither did it run. The sparkles aren’t all that obvious on your eyes are they are on the back of the hand. So it depends on what you like – for me it suited me just fine because its not so glittery to distract and I can wear this to work (yes I have a very relaxed dress code \ud83d\ude42 ) I had no problems removing it with my regular eye makeup remover.<\/p>\n There are 4 colours available – Black Diamond, Midnight Rust, Liquid Crystal and Gold Shimmer. I’m not sure why the names on the website don’t correspond to the name of the product I have. Also, the box says Metallogy EyeLiner while the tube itself says Metallogy Dipliner. Names aside, I think it a pretty decent product if it could just dry a tad faster.<\/p>\n A 2.5ml tube retails for RM65 (S$35\/ US$28.50)<\/strong>. I Nuovi is available worldwide and you can find your nearest store here. In Malaysia, you can find I Nuovi at Sunway Pyramid, selected Parkson and Metrojaya stores and in Sasa stores throughout the country (I failed to find it in Sasa MidValley Megamall though).<\/p>\n Pros: Nice dark black, Understated glitter<\/p>\n Cons: Takes a while to dry so be careful not to blink, A little pricey<\/p>\n [rating:3.5\/5]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When I received the new I Nuovi Metallogy Metallic Liquid Liner, I was quite hesitant to try it.

\nThe I Nuovi metallic eye liner applies a dark black with silver sparkles <\/strong>(my colour is Black Magic). Its a nice black unlike then thin dark greys you sometimes get in a liner that try to pass for black. It was not as hard as I thought to make a thin line but I would get frustrated because I’d blink before it dried and then the line would transfer to my lid. I had less problems with my left eye. Strange.<\/p>\n
