I was all set to say that the Lancome Grandiose Liner doesn’t make anything any easier if you’re as rubbish at freehanding a liquid line as me. But, actually, it does. We’re talking margins here, because it hasn’t made me good at lining, but I did manage much better with this than almost any other I’ve tried. I think it’s because where you hold the handle feels much more natural – a long wafty wand piled with black ink is terrifiying – but I could do a sort of pencil grip on this which was helpful.
So, you can go thin or thick – or accidentally both – but I have to say I have rather a superior looking thick line on my lid right now. The formula dries matte and doesn’t budge. The finish feels waxy and when I tried to remove from my hand, it rolls away (don’t do this on your lids though.. they’re too delicate) so in fact it’s more of a coating line. If you’ve got lots of liquid liner experience you will find this a breeze – if you’re less adept, it’s a good starting point. Shades are black, brown and a deep blue colour and they’re £23 HERE. As a side point, you can use it to create your own written body art – I made the word ‘love’ very easily because the flow is good.

Thanks for sharing such an honest review! I’ve used the Lancome Grandiose mascara in the past and thought it was great so I was curious to hear some reviews of the liner! I’m more of a gel liner girl as I personally find it much easier however I’d love to try this one out to see how it compares! xx

I’ve had my eye (ha) on this ever since Lisa Eldridge popped it on her Instagram. I thinkI’ll go and have a play tomorrow. The brown is appealing to me as I have lots of black liners and only one dried out Mac liner.
Awesome post! Thank you! I am obsessed with liners so I’m totally eyeing this one!!
