SHISEIDO Micro Liner Ink (03 Plum)

Recommended by a beauty advisor, this was my first time purchasing a liner other than black or brown. It's soft and smooth, applies beautifully all the way to the outer corner of the eye, and doesn't smudge easily, making it the perfect retractable eyeliner. I was a bit hesitant about purple liner, but it actually blends in with my skin and doesn't look flashy. I use different ones depending on the color and mood of my eye makeup.

I purchased the SHISEIDO Microliner Ink 02 Brown after getting a touch-up at the Shiseido counter. I actually wanted a highlighter, but I was told that it would dry out my skin as I get older. It looks better if I avoided applying it to the sides or undersides of my eyes, which are prone to age-related concerns. It's best to apply it lightly above or around the blush, creating a spot-on effect. I see. I had a touch-up, but I gave up on the idea of ​​buying a new one just for the blush. Since my blush already has a highlighter, I thought that would be fine. When asked, "What was your purpose in wanting a highlighter?" I explained that I was struggling with eye makeup at the time. I thought it would be good to incorporate highlighter and blush effectively. They then touched up the eyeliner and eyeshadow, and I was so pleased with the results that I purchased them. The shade is 02 Brown, but it's a bold shade that looks almost black. I didn't plan on using the entire eyeshadow palette, but instead recommended using just two shades sparingly and finishing with eyeliner. I was feeling frustrated by not being able to change my old makeup routine, so I decided to buy some eyeliner and eyeshadow. I told them I wasn't very good at eyeliner and didn't know how to use it. They then taught me by actually lifting my upper eyelid and dabbing it on the base of my eyelashes, on the mucous membrane, which I was impressed with. They said it's best to wait until the mascara has completely dried before drawing the line on the mucous membrane. The Shiseido staff are always so patient and teach you the basics, so this was a great purchase. As an aside, they said that as I get older, my facial lines are starting to lose their definition, so they really recommend eyeliner. They repeatedly told me that I could use the bright colors I already had for eyeshadow, but the one they gave me for a touch-up was so good I bought it. Highlighters are good, of course, but they recommended that I reevaluate my skincare routine and aim for moisturized skin, and I agree. I'll work hard on my skincare routine.

I bought the navy color. It's a stylish color that's not as harsh as black, but still makes your eyes pop. The color stays on well into the evening, and it applies smoothly. It might be because of the way I apply it, but sometimes what I apply to my upper eyelid bleeds onto my lower eyelid in the evening, and because it's navy, it makes me look unhealthy, which is a problem. I wonder if blending it with a brush right after applying it will help prevent it from smudging? Once I get the hang of it, the color lasts well, and there's a wide variety of colors, so I'm thinking of buying other colors as well.

As I get older, my eyes start to sag, and I feel like my deep-set double eyelids are gradually becoming single-lidded... I've been looking for an eyeliner to enhance my eyes. Liquid eyeliner doesn't suit me because I get dry eyes and my eyes water, and while pencils work on my hands, they don't draw neatly on my eyes. This one is a gel, so it's easy to apply. The only problem is that once you apply it, you can't put it back in. Well, it's soft, so maybe it won't break if you apply too much? There are so many different colors, so it's fun to change up your makeup depending on your mood.
