A blind test is where one receives a collection of products without any information about the product to have a neutral perspective and an unbiased review. This is the 2nd blind test I am taking with Wishtrend. Let’s see how it goes!
These are the 3 eyeliners given to me to perform the blind test on. Swatch test time!
Love that they have these sparkles in it :P So from top to bottom, we have white + black tape’d eyeliner, then the black tape one, and the white.
Our criteria for testing these eyeliners will be based on:
| Criteria | White + Black | Black | White |
| Wearability
(smooth application) |
★★★☆☆
Application is a little clumsy. The line drawn may not be solid if drawn with a light stroke. Not for beginners to Eyeliners.
|
★★★★★
Easy to control tip for precise drawing. Great for beginners to Eyeliners. |
★★★★☆
Goes on well and precise drawing is possible with skill. |
| Swatchability | ★★★★☆ | ★★★☆☆ | ★★★★☆ |
| Longevity | ★★★★☆
I think all eyeliners did a great job in terms of lasting throughout the day. |
★★★★☆

★★★★☆
I think all eyeliners did a great job in terms of lasting throughout the day. |
| Waterproofness | ★★★☆☆
I don’t really like this. If I close my eyes too soon after drawing the eyeliner on, some of the eyeliner will stain my upper lids. :< |
★★★★☆
This is great. Stays on all day. |
★★★★☆
This also tends to stain my upper eyelids (which are admittedly oily). |
| Cleansing Ability | ★★★★★ | ★★★★☆ | ★★★☆☆ |
To test on ease of cleaning + waterproofness, I did up the following test.
– On the left of the eyeliner swatch, I smudged it using my hands and water. You can see the 2nd one perfomed the best. And the 3rd one is the one that is most likely to stain your lids.
– On the right I used a eyeliner remover and likely wiped through thrice. The ease of cleansing results are pretty clear.
CONCLUSION:
To be honest, I think all 3 liners were good. But if I had to rank them, it would be as below:
I like White the best despite it being less easy to clean and tend to stain upper lids if I’m not careful. For me, precision and ease of application is the most important factor when it comes to choosing eyeliners. And the White one performed the best in both these criterias.
Black came a close second having good qualities like the White one but, I think it can go on a bit more darker when applying. Cos you have to draw it over a few times before it comes dark enough to my satisfaction.
I like the White + Black liner the least because it’s not as easy to apply. But the colour is pretty good. Love the gold speckles in it and the black is not really black, it appears slight green under bright light. Special.
So what are these brands that I tested on? Stayed tuned for an update here to see as I reveal the brand in a week’s time!

About WishTrend – Organiser (Facebook | Blog)
The majority of consumers have the tendency to research about a certain cosmetic product before they make the purchase. In the process, beauty bloggers played a large part, providing the necessary information for the consumers, for them to make their decision. However, reviews have been manipulated to act as a brand’s PR strategy. Therefore people started doubting the credibility of the results.
Here is where WishTrend comes in. Their intention is to provide bloggers with products, without any prior knowledge of the product, so that they can review solely on content. This is an opportunity for brands to publicize their quality products. And may I just add that only brands who are VERY confident of this product will likely attempt this way of review.
As this blind test is done by several Korean and Singaporean Bloggers, it will be interesting to see the end results. It will be publicized through WISH Trend.com and provide unbiased information so that consumers can base their decisions on objective facts. :)
Well, hope you enjoyed this new way of reviewing products! :D
