If you're like me you need all the help you can get when trying to create that classic ~impossible~ cat eye flick. So theses two liquid liners dueled it out and here are my verdicts.
The Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper
I have to say this liner is incredibly easy to use and that's coming from someone who manages to get mascara on her nose more than she would like to admit. I think it has to do with how incredibly thin the tip is. The tip is made of tightly packed bristles similar to a calligraphy pen. This allow the tip to contour slightly to your eye shape as you draw your lin, but will still easily draw a straight line when drawing your flick. It does last all day but I must say it lacks in color intensity. I personally prefer something that is jet black if I'm doing a bold liner.

The NYC liquid liner
I've heard several great things about this liner in particular from Tati aka Glamlifeguru on YouTube ~seriously bow down she is queen of product reviews~ and I do agree with her that for a drugstore liner and the price ~cheap cheap~ It beats the Tattoo liner in color intensity for sure the color it gives of is inkwell black. It does last all day as well , but drawing a flick is not a breeze as with the Tattoo liner. The tip is still a brush but it is thicker on one side as opposed to the other and much more flimsy. This means lots of makeup remover and Q-tips are used when I try to create a flick.

Final Thoughts
Despite the the price difference I think the Tattoo liner is my personal favorite ~ding ding ding we have a winner~ It is just an absolute dream to use and require little effort to create that dramatic cat eye.
