So many brands seem to be releasing these eyeliner 'pen' products and I haven't seen what all the fuss is about really, until now! I haven't reviewed one before because I haven't found one that I could really recommend as lots of them haven't lived up to my expectations. The new Dior Show Art Pen, however, ticks all the boxes!
The problem I have found with others in particular is that they are not pigmented enough so you are left with a watery greyish colour, but the Dior pen is really pigmented and is a brilliant intense black. It is also incredibly easy to use, the tip of the pen is so fine so you can make perfect ticks and get right into the corners, but the pen then gets thicker towards the base so you can use it for creating strong liner looks too. The other bonus about this one is that it lasts, I can put the liner on in the morning and it will be there at the end of the day just like gel liner!
The concept of these pens products is such a good idea and the Dior Art Pen totally does what you would want a product like this to do - for it to be a super speedy and easy way to creating a perfect liner look that you can rely on to last! Honestly, now this is in my make-up bag I can't see it coming out, its a great product to carry round with you.
Definitely worth a try, you can get yours here for £23 - you won't regret it!
tanya can you do a video tutorial with this, please??

Why do you ask questions such as, "Are you guys fans of liner pens? " when you hardly ever respond to anyone?! Its like twitter, you're FB, and here (blog) you hardly ever respond to anyone you just want us to follow you but you don't give feedback.

I definitely find the pen style eye liners the easiest to use, I'm not very good with liquid ones and tend to make quite a mess!! haha! I actually really like the Oriflame liner stylo which sounds like a good dupe for this one, you should try it out and see if you think they're comparable! :) Eleanor x

I found one from Pixi that is very good. First one that works and the price point is great.

This looks great but do you think that it would dry out quite quickly? xxx http://unstitchedd.blogspot.co.uk

I've always loved pen style liquid eyeliners the best! This one looks great, not sure I can justify £23 though :( Rachel xxxx

love the look of this but I'm actually loving the max factor version although you do have to top up, later in the day. what I love about it is that it almost looks patent, but that shine does go. it's about £8 ish. however I can only wear it on my lid, my eye waters on the lower lashes ESP towards the outer corner.

I have one from Shideido, but completely poked myself in the eye in it, making my entire eye turn a blackish-grey. I've been a bit weary of using it since. Instead, I've been using the D&G Intense Liquid Eyeliner and like it a lot!

I love liner pens! I've been using gel for the last few years but I'm thinking of returning to these because they're just so easy. I've tried some before but they often fade by the end of the day so I might check this one out!

I'd love to try this out, I find it so hard to get the perfect flick with gel eyeliner, this looks like it would make it so much easier!

You should try the Maybelline intense one, its pretty dark and easy to use. Way cheaper than the Dior one.

I'm a big fan of the Nars Stylo liner in black! It has a more felt-tip-like finish to it and generally stays all day.

This looks really lovely, but I'm always worried they will dry out quickly and not stay super black for long as this has happened to me with other brands in the past. What are your thoughts about that with this one? Thanks Abbie x
