Another South Korean eyeliner that really surprises me with its longevity!
You can find The Face Shop Make Me Star Waterproof Gel Liner here: http://list.gmarket.com.sg/item/THE-FACE-SHOP-THE-FACE-SHOP-LOVELY-ME-EX-MAKE/405777530
It's S$6.90 and available in so many different colours! Free shipping too, and the seller will throw in extra samples! :D
Plus point: my favourite SNSD member, SeoHyun, is the face for The Face Shop, and especially this eyeliner!
For S$6.90, this is well worth your money. I dare say this eyeliner has almost the same amount of product as Urban Decay 24/7 liners.
There's a smudger at the end of the brush, which is a nice touch especially if you want to do a subtle smokey eye.
I also realised the trick with using South Korean eyeliners. Many people always claim that these eyeliners are not as smudge-proof as they seem to be. However, that's because they meddle with the eyeliners before the eyeliners had the time to completely dry out.
I will elaborate further when I show you guys the swatches!
Also, this product lasts for 18 months after date of first usage.
I think I'm going to start labeling my cosmetics with the dates that I first use them, and the dates that they expire. I don't want to risk using expired products on my skin!
The product itself looks like the normal pencil eyeliners.
The difference is what makes the name "Make Me Star", this is an eyeliner that has glitter particles in it! It's not so obvious and not over the top, but it's good when you need delusional moments, or moments when you want to feel fabulous.

Now here's the part about the importance of waiting and South Korean eyeliners. YOU JUST NEED TO GIVE IT A GOOD 5 MINUTES ON ITS OWN, and it's good to go for the entire day.
I wasn't patient at first, and started scrubbing 1 minute or so after application, and so I got myself into a smudgey mess, as seen below.

And then I thought to myself: why not scrub some more after 5 minutes?
I got carried away. Haha. I scrubbed my hand again around 20 minutes after application, and OMG it didn't budge AT ALL, NO MATTER HOW HARD I SCRUBBED.
This is crazy.

Many of you must be thinking of the hassle, WHY NEED TO WAIT? SO TROUBLESOME.
If you want to take the easy way out, then get panda eyes lor, simple as that.
It's not a hassle anyway; I applied it, finished my makeup routine, and then blew dry my hair and changed into my work attire, and it dried up in the process. So I don't see how waiting can be cumbersome.
Pigmentation-wise - nothing to whine about. ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE. Got star some more, bling bling!
Will I buy this again?
- OF COURSE. I'm ordering some more as I'm typing now. YAY TO OTHER COLOURS. MORE MORE MOREEEEE.
