BUT what you’re paying for at this price is a premium, Australian designed product that’s cruelty free and vegan, that comes with two eyeliner pens. The price $34.99 might seem a bit steep compared to other chemist brand alternatives like Rimmel’s Wonderwing Liner ($12.76) and Maybelline HyperSharp Wing Liquid Liner ($17.95). It’s great because you can do a very thin line or a thicker one, but it also means you need to figure out for yourself how much pressure you’re going to apply. If anything, the tip of the pen is flexible and can change ‘thickness’ depending on how much pressure you apply. The product is also “long lasting and waterproof”, so you won’t have to worry about it disappearing on you.Īside from the fact it doesn’t draw the rest of your eyeliner on for you (again, not it’s fault), The Quick Flick has very few negatives. I rubbed the spot on my hand where I trialled it a few hours into the day, and it didn’t smudge at all. Yes, it might take a few tries to find your perfect wing spot, but once you’ve lined it up, all you have to do is press down and voila, YOU’VE GOT A WING. Thankfully, the stamping bit was ridiculously easy. The directions say to “simply stamp where desired and use the eyeliner pen to fill in the shape”. Because the last thing anyone needs when trying to do a small, delicate line is a small delicate tool to do it with.Īfter staring at the stamp end of the pen for precisely three minutes, I went for it. It’s nice and big, and sits comfortably in your hand. I tested it out on my hand, and what do you know, it did what it says it does.Ĭan we just take a minute to appreciate wearing The Quick Flick in Modest 10mm ?

Like a permanent marker, the ‘liner’ end of the pen has a felt tip. Like you’re going to get a really intense, industrial strength wing. To my friend Jess, if you’re reading, I’m so sorry about ^^^ by the way, was just trying to be nice but, yeah. But please, don’t make the mistake I did and give away the second pen as a premature Christmas present.Īs I found out, you’ll need both of those pens to achieve the cat eye look because one’s for your left eye (marked with a handy L), the other for your right. I opened up The Quick Flick ‘Modest 10mm’ in ‘Intense Black’ to find not one, but TWO liquid eyeliner pens inside. I was pretty much sold from the moment the pink packaging landed on my desk. In the interest of public service, I took The Quick Flick for a spin around the block to see if it delivers on its promises. Sounds brilliant, right? Especially for a beauty noob like me, who also has large fingers that don’t handle delicate tasks like winged eyeliner very well. Smit claims The Quick Flick will “have you saying goodbye to wonky and uneven wings”, providing “a simple, clean and stress-free solution to nailing your eyeliner, every time, resulting in a flawless and tailored finish”.Ĭheck out this video for a demonstration… The entrepreneur from Perth dreamt up The Quick Flick, a felt tip eyeliner pen with a stamp for the perfect wing.
