The Gist
The Daiso Stylish Brush Pen Eyeliner Brown is a liquid brush-tip liner packaged in a slim pen applicator. The formula sets into a film texture and dries quickly; users report it grips to skin without budging through heat and humidity. The brush itself is noticeably thick and stiff—better suited to bold strokes than delicate detail work.
What Korean reviewers say
Daiso shoppers rated this 4.7/5 across 737 reviews, signaling strong real-world reliability. Korean beauty blogs highlight its standout waterproofing and exceptional longevity for the price point; many users report 3+ years of repeat purchases and note it outperforms significantly more expensive competitors. The main honest criticism is the rigid brush tip, which reviewers say hampers precise inner-corner work and delicate line-drawing—a real drawback for eyeliner beginners. One minor note: the formula can form a membrane inside the cap, occasionally restricting ink flow, though daily users report this is manageable. The brown shade reads warm and heavy, which one reviewer found dated for cooler undertones.
Bottom line
At $2.22, this is a smart buy for anyone who prioritizes waterproof staying power and doesn’t mind a bold, graphic line. Skip it if you want a soft, feathered, or barely-there everyday liner—the thick brush and dramatic formula are genuinely mismatched to subtle application.
