Like most women, I absolutely hate drama. So when Lancome let me know that they were sending over a bag full of Drama I was ready to turn Mary J Blige on and let them know there’d be no Drama in this here dance soiree. Of course, I completely changed my tune when I saw that the drama they sent over was actually a bag full of the new Lancome Drama Liqui-Pencil in 16 gorgeous shades.
The Lancome Drama Liqui-Pencil ($23) is described as an extreme, long-wear, high-intensity color liqui-pencil eyeliner. This eyeliner is the perfect mixture of a high-intensity color liquid liner and the smooth application of a pencil. Featuring a creamy, instantly blendable formula, it sets quickly for 24-hour wear without budging or fading.
I fell in love with these gorgeous shades as soon as I laid eyes on them. Though I mostly stick with my boring black liner I was ready to switch things up a bit, especially with this collection having that eye-popping yellow.
My overall goal is to try out every color so that you all can see how each looks on the eyes, but with 16 colors I knew swatching on the eyes all at once would be a bit much so I gave you all a preview swatch below. While I was playing around with the LANCOME Drama Liqui-Pencil, I noticed a couple of important things that I felt needed highlighting.
- These pencils are unlike other pencils in that the liquid-like formula makes the tip really soft. I found that some of the points easily broke or left a small chunk of the tip behind when in use.
- You can’t sharpen these with a regular pencil sharpener and hope to achieve the point. After breaking a couple of points when doing swatches, I attempted to resharpen the pencils using my regular everyday sharpener. Instead of sharpening it basically just ate away at the pencil. When I switched to my MAC COSMETICS sharpener, which is a more precise sharpener, I was able to get a nice point again.
- Work quickly! These liners go on silky smooth, but dry super fast making them smudge proof. To fix a mistake, you will need to use a makeup remover as they will not come off with water.Stay tuned to my Instagram (@Being_Melody) as I plan to feature all 16 shades of the liners The Lancome Drama Liqui-Pencil are available exclusively at Sephora and retail for $23 each.

The swatches are very nice, I’ve wondered what they look like on brown skin. I’m so invested in UD 24/7 eye pencils and I have over 30 of them. If you have any, could you do a comparison. I still think UD’s are more sparkier and vibrant…not to mention cheaper.
I just bought this product and absolutely love it – it’s amazing and the colors are beautiful!! I was having issues trying to sharpen them so I thank you for the tip on the MAC sharpener. I just ordered one from their website – can’t wait for it to arrive and I’ll definitely be buying more colors of the liner too!!
