"Liquid liner is the beauty equivalent of marmite: you either love it or you hate it. It's perfect for those with a steady hand, who want to create a clean, feline flick or a jet-black line to frame your eyes. The most common complaint, however, is that it can be messy to use, and no matter how long you wait to blink, it often smudges and imprints on your brow bone.
