Review : BCL Makemania Data Pencil Gel Eyeliner (Deep Brown)
Thursday, December 05, 2013
Assalamualaikum and hello!
Tell me, what's your favourite eyeliner colour? I started with black liners at the age of 17, and I had a perception that only black eyeliners will help us achieve the best look. Three years passed and I finally opened up to brown liners, hehe! Earlier in September I had the chance to attend a kawaii makeup workshop with BCL and I found my first brown eyeliner love here!
Presenting, the fabulous
BCL Makemania Data Pencil Gel Eyeliner in Deep Brown!
The packaging of this eyeliner is just like all the normal ones out there. Plastic tube, super thin and definitely wallet friendly! You can even put it in your pocket if you're in a hurry and doesn't feel it there :)
Since it is a gel liner, it's lead is very soft and fragile. You must not twist out everything like the normal auto liners coz it is not retractable. Advise? Only twist out as little as possible for your use okay? Don't wanna waste the precious lead!
I use this brown liner for my waterline coz it gives me the oh so perfect look, like very natural look and I don't end up looking like a grunge kid or whatnot, hehe!
Here are the swatches. As you can see, 1 swatch gives a sheer line while triple swatch is enough to make your eyes pop. Since our waterline has a different surface than the skin on our eyelids, I usually did three layering back and forth on my waterline to get a fantastic color pop ^_^ I'm just so in love with its brown color and it has become my daily must wear!
I also tried it on my eyelids, and two swipes are enough to obtain a dark, definitely there brown line (or one heavy drawing of line would do). However, I have a different experience of staying power on eyelids for this eyeliner. I had it's cousin, the black liner on my lids and it was a whole different story. Will make a separate post for it okay?
Here's the most interesting part! The first time I wore it, I was out in the streets of KL for jalan-jalan cari makan. Our tropical Malaysian climate make me sweat a lot and I wiped my face a few times like nobody's business. Suddenly it drizzles, I got no umbrella so I just walk like nothing happened while thinking "habislah eyeliner, jadi panda eyes". But guess what? When I got home, the eyeliner at my waterlines are still there. It doesn't budge, it doesn't bleed, it doesn't transfer. So people, that's how I met my Holy Grail brown eyeliner for waterline ^_^
Refer to the above picture. I rubbed my hand very hard to test the eyeliner, and I can assure you nobody sane in this world would rub their eyes that hard like I did on my hands for this test. If you rub that hard you're certainly trying to get blind, or trying to press your eyeballs into your skull. So, no. The eyeliner does not totally disappear on hard rubbing :)
Overall, this is a perfect, must have must try must repurchase eyeliner!! If you're still searching for a brown eyeliner, particularly for your waterline, please please please give this BCL Makemania Data Pencil Gel Eyeliner a try! And drop me a comment if you tried it after you read my post okay? I'd love to know how well it treats you ^_^

Rasa macam nak try brown eyeliner gak la.. Semua eyeliner anis warna hitam.. Ok gak eyeliner BCL ni especially utk org macam anis yg memang selalu gatal mata >_<
ReplyDeleteGive this one a try Anis ^_^ kita mula2 skeptikal jugak dengan brown liner sebab bajet black liner je awesome sekali dapat ni, terus tolak black liners ke tepi. hehe, smudge proof tu yg awesome!
ReplyDeletefeewit~~~ nak satu, belanja kita~ hahaha
ReplyDeleteAlaa kak nanie, kita baru nak mintak belanja perfume satu :p hehehe
ReplyDeleteI love brown liner! It doesn't look harsh especially for natural basic daily makeup. :D
ReplyDeletetrue that Caroline! Makes us look very girly and natural ^_^
DeleteTry other colours! Sye dh ader brown and also blue, soon red haha. Fun to play with colours for liners :3
ReplyDeleteOooo red, you must be very brave! Kita ada funky eyelights from Silkygirl, warna biru dia cantik! ^_^
DeleteHaha. Red is still not too obvious, kalau green baru la berani! Yang tu je belum lagi nak try >.< hihi. oh? Terang x? My blue is Midnight Blue Pencil Liner from Avon ;)
DeleteHaa, speaking of green, I know some excellent green liners. 1 is from silkygirl, i have that as well ;) the other 1 i tried (tester pencil) was from Revlon. OMG that green liner from Revlon really make my eyes look damn pretty I'm telling you. Boleh fefeeling mermaid lepas pakai tu, lawa sangat! ^_^
DeleteHaha! Mermaid XD Ok, will surely test those you mentioned (rarely buy SilkyGirl these days). Takut xnampak je due to my panda eyes haha.
DeleteI had those Funky Eyelights since quite some time, memang tahan lama color dia :) Panda eyes? find excellent concealers! hehe
Deletewhat a great review, i never tried dark brown color eye liner yet, but i shall try
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann :) give it a try, and I hope you'll love it as much as I do ^_^
DeleteHi! Have you tried any eyeliner pens from Sasa? Looking for one tp tak tau which one is worth buying
ReplyDeleteHi Feeza ^_^ I have never tried any SaSa brand unfortunately. The only other eyeliner pens I bought from SaSa was Cyber Colors punya eyeiner (auto pen) with glitter and without glitter. They're good but I wont repurchase because of price factor, and I personally think that Silkygirl eyeliners are better and more affordable :)
DeleteFeeza maybe you wanna check Mai Sarah punya review on Sasa eyeliner here :
