Benefit Cosmetics Magic Ink Liquid Eyeliner

What it is:A jet-black, liquid eyeliner with maximum staying power.What it does:This highly pigmented, smudge-proof liquid liner is not for the faint of heart. With its tiny, tapered brush, liner goes on smoothly for precise application and drama that lasts.

I have been using liquid eyeliners for years and all I tried were Japanese / Korean brands because they are easy ang with high ratings .
Saw the reviews online , I purchased this one . And hands down the best one ever . Way better than any of those Asian ones . Easy to apply and long lasting !
Highly recommended

Jet black eyeliner from benefit
-05.04.13
Quick Take: long wearing, very black easy to apply, price is expensive but i think it's worth it
It is a luxurious black and it goes on really well. The brush Is Thin so it is easy to work with. This product can hardly be found in stores and doesn't seem to stay on the shelf long. It stays on well and it comes off fairly easily. It's my all-time favorite.

Not a fine enough line for me!

Quick Take: long wearing
I brought it back and exchanged for the sephora high precision eyeliner, which was an even thinner line.

This eyeliner is amazing - it literally does not smudge once it goes on your eyelid.
The only thing I still struggle with is learning to use its super thin brush. It's been about 3 weeks now and I still can't get it right :(

Quick Take: waterproof, long wearing
Tried a little bit on my hand in store then walked around a while, it stayed on through two very thorough hand washing's, so i ran back to the shop and bought two! The stay power is incredible and although it applies very thin, i prefer it that way.

Long-lasting; Brush is too thin
-03.06.13
Quick Take: long wearing
This liner is really good if you want to be super precise. The brush is very thin, so creating a dramatic (or really any more than a small line) is more difficult. I'd still recommend it, but I like a liner with a thicker brush.

I feel like it could be blacker. The tiny brush makes it really easy to use, a good everyday, fast, on the go product.

Great Liquid Liner but...
-01.20.13
I love the Benefit Cosmetics Magic Ink Liquid Eyeliner, it dries very quickly but despite what is printed it is not smudge-proof, one mistaken eye rub and you will need to reapply. But the easy of application and the fact that it dries quickly, will have me continuing to buy the product.

Good enough
-01.11.13
In the past I was wary of liquid eye makeup because they would run into my eyes and would also make my eyelid burn. Resulting in a hot mess around my eyes. This eyeliner goes on with no runny mess, does not cause irritation to my eyelids, and the wand makes the cateye look easy and precisely.

Quick Take: long wearing, easy to apply, fast drying, black, good pigmentation
Easy to use. Probably the only eyeliner in the store that is still a brush/felt tip dipped into a pot and not a pen. This is what you want if you don't like the pens, which I don't. Excellent formula and color.

Just okay...

I love how thin of a line it can make but it isn't dark enough. I like stilas waterproof liner much better.

Good eyeliner, okay brush
-01.07.13
The consistancy and actual look of the liquid eyeliner is great on, but the brush is frustrating ! I tried it on my hand in store, and it seemed to go on smoothly enough but it often strays when applied on the eyes.

awesome product
-01.06.13
Quick Take: waterproof, long wearing, smudgable
Love this eyeliner - goes on incredibly smooth, and stays put all day. No flaking. Takes a little time getting used to applying the product, but once mastered works like a dream. Wish it also came in a dark brown color. I would buy both.

Great Liner
-01.06.13
This was my first time purchasing this liner and I got it because of the thin tip that would allow me to get as close to my eyelashes as possible and create a straight sharp line. And, it did just that. I love it!

BEST EYELINER EVER!
-12.13.12
Quick Take: long wearing, easy to apply
I wore this eyeliner 9 hours at work yesterday and then 6 hours more at a holiday party and it stayed perfect all day!!! The brush is wonderful because it is so thin you have the ability to control the line a lot better. Like everyone else said, the black pigment is fantastic! Highly recommend this.

Love This Eyeliner
-12.11.12
Quick Take: long wearing, pigmented
It is so long wearing and I like how pigmented the black is. It really does come out as a rich black, and is dries pretty quickly. I love the size of the brush as well. I can do a very thin line to a very thick line, it just allows for any person to achieve the desired style. It also has lasted a long while now and has not dried up, even though I use it everyday.

nice liner
-12.01.12
Quick Take: long wearing, saturated
I've been buying this liner for the last 3 years and all I can say is that it's a quality liquid liner, gives a very saturated jet-black color, it has a really good staying power. Oh, and the applicator is pretty good too!

Wanted this to work...
-11.22.12
Quick Take: challenging to apply
I usually use Bobbi Brown's gel eyeliner. I was looking for an easier application and after trying Stila's felt tip pen, thought that Benefit's Magic liquid liner would be my solution. I actually thought that it was the hardest to apply of the three types. The liner would also get on my lashes during application and was difficult to get off. I decided that Bobbi Brown with a better brush was the easiest application in the end and sent this eyeliner back. Overall, Benefit's Magic liquid liner was a pretty good eyeliner that had staying power once finally on. It was also easy to remove with makeup remover.
