Whenever a new eyeliner comes out in the market, I would get super interested at how good it is.
Anastasia Beverly Hills recently just launch their first liquid eyeliner. All this while, they only have their waterproof gel liner. And now, that they have their very own liquid eyeliner, I'm intrigued.
This eyeliner looks promising. It comes in a plastic glossy slim bottle which is like a pen like feel. It is slim to the touch and feels like a pen too, making it travel friendly for you to bring it out everywhere you go without taking up a lot of space. It cost $32 SGD in Sephora Singapore ($18 USD from Anastasia Beverly Hills Official website) and it consist of 2.4ml of product in the bottle. This eyeliner has a brush tip that comes together with a dipping tube. For those of you who are used to using the felt tip pen version, this might take a while for you to use this type of eyeliner. The formula is black matte and it last throughout the whole day. I always have eyeliner on from 8am until almost 11pm when i'm trying out makeup and this is one of them that works well during that time frame or longer. Anastasia Beverly Hills products are 100% Animal Cruelty Free, but they are not vegan because some of their products contain beeswax or honey.
This eyeliner claims to be:
1. waterproof
2. Highly pigmented
3. True black matte eyeliner
4. Soft felt-tip precision applicator to achieve that flawless eye look you desired
All in all, I love how this eyeliner works on me and it has not disappoint me so far despite one or two that I will cover soon below.
Now let's bring in the DUPE product that I recently come across. Milani Cosmetics are well known for their bake blushes. There's hype for their Liquid Foundation, Concealer, Highlighter palette and Blush but there isn't a single hype about their Liquid Eyeliner. I think Milani Liquid Eyeliner has been around for quite some time now, but that is only my opinion 😅
This eyeliner makes me feel very old school because I'm so used to using this type of eyeliner during my whole schooling days (age 15 until 23). If you are a drugstore person, you can have a look at Silkygirl liquid eyeliner that have similar bottle as this eyeliner just that the only difference is Silkygirl Eyeliner comes in a glossy silver bottle while Milani Eyeliner comes in a matte black bottle.
This eyeliner cost $17.35 SGD from Watsons Singapore ($7.99 USD from Milani Cosmetics Official Website) and comes in a tiny tub matte bottle. It consists of 2.5ml of product and it comes in 4 shades.The eyeliner is matte in texture and it doesn't cracks after it is dry up. I love how easy and fast this dries up after applying and it doesn't smudge at all through the whole day (from 8am until 11pm). Milani Cosmetics is 100% Animal Cruelty Free and it is also 100% vegan!
This eyeliner claims to be:
1. Smudgeproof even from sweat and humidity
2. Powerfully pigmented and matte to the max
3. Water resistant
4. Last up to 17 hours
All in all, I love this eyeliner too! It doesn't give me any problem and it always delivers whenever I draw my wing liner.
Now let's get down to business.
Milani Cosmetics Stay Put Matte Liquid Eyeliner is a perfect DUPE for Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Eyeliner. Why do I say so?
Here are the similarities.
1. Very pigmented.
2. Matte formula.
3. Dries quite fast that makes it easy to avoid smudges after applying it.
4. Soft but precise applicator to achieve wing liner easily.
5. A faint smell of permanent marker.
6. Putting it side by side, you really can't tell the difference.
Here are the differences.
1. Anastasia Beverly Hills (ABH) can be found in Sephora while Milani Cosmetics can be found in Watsons. (High end VS Drugstore)
2. ABH cost $32 SGD while Milani cost $17.35 SGD.
3. ABH have longer handle and applicator while Milani have shorter applicator.
4. Both eyeliner dries up fast but comparing between these two, Milani take just slightly a few seconds longer.
And that is all I have about these two products. All in all, I love both. I still pick and choose which should I use when I wish to go all matte but I will always end up with one on each side 😅
