Diorshow art pen

Tip
The art pen has a very thin tip, which makes the painting very easy. It's also super handy to make a winged eyeliner: stamp the tip in the corner of your eye, so you already have the line in the right place. Then fill in the blank space and you're finished!

Tip

The tip of the Kiko pen is a bit shorter than the one of the Dior pen. It makes it a bit harder to draw your line, but it stays easy pie.

Pigment
With this pen, I have to go over my line for around 2-3 times to really have a nice, black line. 
When a apply eyeshadow under my liner, the pen picks up some of the powder and it gets harder to draw the line.

Pigment
This pen draws like crazy. It's probably the blackest black I've ever seen next to the thick Blockbuster pens I use for smokey effect. 
I only need one line, but I always draw 2 times just in case haha :)

Lasting effect
The liner stays right where it has to be for around 5-6 hours, then it starts fading a little bit. Does the trick to me...
I always have some trouble in my inner corners because I touch my eyes sometimes. 


Points
8/10

Lasting effect
The line really stays black black black for around 6-8 hours. 
It also has a slight waterproof effect when going into the water. It will not run out. 
The inner corner trouble stays the same with this liner.

Points
9/10

conclusion

If you're a true artist and you can draw your liner like it's nothing, i totally recommend the Kiko Ultimate pen. It's very affordable and you can achieve the same results with it as with any other art pen. 
If you're new to the eyeliner pen concept, I would start with a pen like the Dior art pen, because it's so easy to use. it's like it was made for beginners to practice (and definitely to try out the winged liner). There's a huge price difference though...

Verrassend dat Kiko beter uit de test komt want Dior is een super goed merk! Ik ben benieuwd om de pen zelf uit te proberen.
