Makeup Monday: Kanebo KATE Super Sharp Liner

February 11, 2013

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a safe, fun weekend - those of you out on the East Coast, hope you're alright and not covered head to toe in snow! Today we're switching things up and celebrating Makeup Monday, cause I'm so excited about this eyeliner!

While I was in Hong Kong last summer, I knew that my holy grail Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner would need to be replaced soon. But instead of picking up an identical one, I decided to discover some of my options, and the Kanebo KATE super sharp liner stood out at me when I was visiting Sasa one day.

The size and structure of the eyeliner is very similar to Dolly Wink, in that the packaging is very sturdy, and the cap fitting tightly to ensure the product doesn't dry out. Similarly. the the pen is very fine, flexible, and capable of drawing both thin & thick lines. Upon application, the product dries readily, and does not smudge or budge all throughout the day. It works so well that its difficult to remove, and can leave a bit of a stain on your eyelids if you don't take the time to thoroughly wash it off!

For the time that I need to be wearing the product for (8+ hours), this liquid liner is awesome for me. The applicator tip is precise, and the colour is just as intense at the end of the day as it is at application. Serious perfection. It also is a little cheaper than the Dolly Wink liner, and goes for about $10. I highly recommend this eyeliner, so do try it out if you're in the market for something new! It's available via Amazon & Kanebo.

  6. Well, it looks like I'll have to give this a try! I have never been good with liquid eyeliner. I use the gel, since I feel like I have more control over the brush. Practice makes perfect, right. Happy Lunar New Year, Andrea!

  7. The snow here in Ontario was crazy!! Its not as bad now though, we have warmer temps and rain now.
    I have a similar liner to this, it's the essence felt tip liner and it was only $2.99. It doesnt say waterproof, but dang is it ever hard to remove.

  14. I might give this a try if I come across it. I've tried a super-thin tip before and it didn't give me the thin, straight line I wanted. Or maybe it's just that I'm more used to the regular eyeliner pencils.

  16. Oh I love the Kanebo Kate eyeshadows!I've bought like 3 in the past. My sis is using their liquid eye liners as well. As i use eye liner pencil, i've not tried this little gem. I'm soo bad with liquid eye liner as they always smudge when i apply it to my eyes, haha

    Happy Chinse new year to you, Andrea! Wishing you all the best in the year of the snake:D

    1. I actually think its JUST like the Dollywink liner. Works equally as well and actually has longer staying power. Only downfall is that it's harder to remove.
