LORAC Front of the Line PRO
I must confess.  I love winged liner.  So much so that I try my hand at it all the time.  I do not know how to do winged liner well...sniff sniff.  I know.  But in loving winged liner, I have come to look for all formulations of liner to help me achieve this look.  When it comes to liquid liner from a high end line, I look to LORAC's Front of the Line PRO.

LORAC Front of the Line PRO - Charcoal

I purchased Front of the Line PRO from Ulta for $23.00 USD.  This can be also found on LORAC's site, Sephora, etc.  The liner is housed in a plastic pen style format with brush tip.  Inside of the pen, you get 0.02 fl.oz/0.55ml  of liquid goodness.  Click on cap closes tightly and I have never had issues with this popping open in my bag.

There are a few factors that go into making a liquid liner fantastic.  Although, unfortunately, it is a not a view we all uniformly share as we all have our various tastes.  What I look for nice, solid applicator, a smooth formula, quick drying but forgiving to fix mistakes, and an applicator tip that will give me a variety of looks.  Front of the Line PRO has all of these.  The pen itself is lightweight and easy on the hand.  The brush head is the star of the show here!  The brush head consists of tiny, synthetic brush hairs that taper to an extremely fine tip.  This liner will give you the thinnest line imaginable, but is flexible enough to allow for a more thick liner.  That flexibility is money!  When you need it to be strong for a solid, graphic line, it gives that to you.  This is my 3rd purchase of this liner and I have put them through hell...never once did any of my brush heads experience any splaying of any kind.   And it does not dull...How many times have I had a tip that was plastic or fiber where after a few uses it dulls out and no longer produces a crisp, thin line?  Front of the Line PRO's formula is really nice to work with in that you get a semi wet application with a few seconds before drydown to fix mistakes.   In both Charcoal and Black colors, the dry down finish is matte.

For those that are novices or pros of the wing, this works for everyone.  The price point may seem a bit much for some, but you are actually paying for a wonderful product.  Long lasting formula, easy to use, and the product itself lasts a long time.  In no time, you will be a wing drawing PRO!
