Ahh, Stila versus Eyeko. My top two favorite liquid pen eyeliners.
Because I use these two liquid eyeliners so often, and pretty interchangeably, I thought I'd do a quick comparison of the two.
They are both VERY waterproof, which is something I look for in an eyeliner. I rarely use products that aren't waterproof -- because, 1) I have monolid eyes, which tends to cause a ton of creasing of makeup products that may not happen with all eye shapes, and 2) I sweat. A lot. So I don't like walking around on a hot summer day having to worry about whether my face is, quite literally, melting off. I know waterproof products can be a lot harsher on the skin (combined with the fact that more scrubbing is necessary to remove them at the end of the day), but it's just a feature that I can't give up.
Anyway. Moving on. The only significant difference between the two is the "blackness," if you will.
Eyeko on the left, Stila on the right. Do you see what I mean? [You can click on the pics for a larger, more detailed look.] The Eyeko just looks a tad bit darker and more opaque than the Stila.
They both have very little feathering on my skin, and draw both thin and thick lines virtually flawlessly.
I tend to grab my Eyeko when I'm going for a more dramatic look, and use my Stila when I don't want my makeup to look as harsh. Even though the Stila liner is called "Jet Black," it can be used in a lot of brown/copper eye looks and give a little more depth to the liner.
Either way they're both my absolute favorites! I HIGHLY recommend them both!
