Rouge Bunny Rouge Raven Glaze liner and the New Nocturnal Ink Satin eyeliners

Rouge Bunny Rouge have just brought out a new eyeliner called Nocturnal Ink. The Satin Eyeliner is available in three shades,
Friesian – Soft black with satin finish
Dark Bay – Deep ebony brown with satin finish
Blue Roan – Midnight petrol blue with satin finish

To say I don't get on with pen style liquid liners is an understatement, I've tried many, even those supposedly mistake proof 3 dots ones that Clarins/Bourjois brought out, but there are only a few I've found able to use. I love the look of them on others but I find the majority smudge, transfer onto the top of my lid, have too wet a consistency that bleeds out, and I can only get a really thick line that is extremely uneven.

So though I was extremely grateful to be sent the eyeliners to review I did think that having someone like me use them was testing them to the extreme. I am also going to review the Raven Glaze liner, a regular in the range but I thought it useful to compare the two formulas.
Swatched below L-R: Blue Roan, Dark Bay, Friesian and Raven Glaze

All the liners come in a slim-lined pen style and the Nocturnal Inks have a textured section to hold onto so there is no slip. The applicator tip is slim and flexible which allows you to create fine or more dramatic lines. There is a lot to like about both formulas, they are all quick drying (though the Raven isn't quite as quick) with a very long wear (I have watery eyes and would say these seem water resistant). They do not transfer, nor do they smear/smudge. The Raven Glaze liner has a more fluid texture and in some ways I find the satin liners more easy to apply, as I need to work quicker with the Raven, that said the Raven gives such a intense inky black colour that I do think it will warrant a place in your collection.

However good a liner these are the fact that I cannot hold my hands steady means I will never get a perfect line, however these are the best liquid liners I have tried, and I would say the Nocturnal inks allow you to play around more allowing them to be more mistake proof.
I was very surprised by just how comfortable these are, I am actually able to use these as base on my sensitive /dry lids, with no tightness nor unevenness, as shown below with Blue Roan used all over the lid with loose glitter pigment in Spun From Sunny Seawater and Sleeping Under a Mandarin Tree dabbed over (unblended) and then a mix of Raven Glaze and Friesian in a heavy line.
