This review is a long time coming, I'd had everything ready to go for my review on the Maybelline Line Stilleto Liquid Liner and then BAM! I tried out the Face of Australia liner and found 2 amazing and well priced liners! So let's compare them!
Packaging

[/caption]The packaging on both of these products is quite different. The Face of Australia holds 8mls of product and the Maybelline holds 1.5ml of product. I really like how the Maybelline tube is quite small as it makes application quite easy. However you're getting more value for money with the amount of product in the Face of Australia liner.
Applicator
I like both of these applicators. The Face of Australia applicator is very small and fine making it easy to make a very thin line (great for a daytime eye) plus I find the smaller it is the easier it is to apply and mistakes are minimal. The Maybelline applicator is a hard felt style applicator and again is easy to use but it is a little bigger then the Face of Australia applicator.
Swatch
Well they are both black! haha! I think the Maybelline provides a darker line and I find the Face of Australia liner does take a little while to dry. The Maybelline liner works great on its own with no shadow, however I found the Face of Australia liner worked even better when it was over a primer or eyeshadow colour.
On the Eye!

[/caption]Quite similar... I do prefer my application with the Face of Australia liner.
So overall they are both very good liquid liner products. I must be honest though I have been leaning more towards the Face of Australia one of late as I find it gives me a more precise and thinner line which is how I like to wear it with my everyday makeup. You also get a lot more product with the Face of Australia product and we all love a little bang for our buck right?
As for price you can pick up the Face of Australia Liquid Liner for a measly $8.95AUD and the Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner will cost approx $13.95AUD.
Now for something fun! Something i've always wanted to master and i'm really crap at is the Lauren Conrad wing...well Lauren launched her beauty site not too long ago http://www.thebeautydepartment.com (I actually really like the website) and on the site was a tutorial of how she does her liquid liner... want to give it a go? Here's the video :)
