Fenty Beauty Baeside Vivid Liquid Eyeliner Trio Review & Swatches
Baeside
Fenty Beauty Baeside Vivid Liquid Eyeliner Trio ($35.00 for 0.39 oz.) contains three, matte liquid eyeliners: coral (quite unique–there really aren’t many coral eyeliners!), lime green, and periwinkle blue. I had good luck with pigmentation and application with the two richer shades, but the pop of lime green was prone to cracking as it dried down and was much harder to work with.

Papaya Mama
Papaya Mama is a deep, pink-coral with warm undertones and a flat, matte finish. It had rich color coverage in one stroke, which applied evenly and smoothly over my skin. The color dried down to a transfer-resistant finish, and it did so without pulling into my fine lines. The consistency was fluid but didn’t seem watery, so it had good spreadability without losing its intensity. This shade stayed on well for 10 hours without fading or flaking on me.

Formula Overview
-
The formula is supposed to have "super-smooth precision and glide" with a "hyper-vivid pop of color" in "one stroke." The pigmentation ranged from shade to shade, but most shades were semi-opaque to opaque in one stroke with deeper, less pastel-neon shades having better coverage. The formula was very fluid (almost too fluid, as some shades seeped into fine lines as it was drying down) paired with a very thin brush-type applicator that had some flex but didn't seem floppy.
Some of the lighter, more pastel-neon shades appeared streaky or "cracked" as they dried down. They can take a bit longer to dry down, which might have been why some of them settled and spread into my fine lines. Once they set, they didn't budge or move around. They do not claim to be waterproof, and they are not waterproof, but some of the deeper shades--like the blues, greens, and plum stain.
I tried using the included applicator as well as separate, eyeliner brushes (brush-type and angled) to see if applicator improved, but it was about the same; using the included applicator often ensured better pigmentation but just as easily could over-apply product. I also tried some shades as eyeshadow bases/cream eyeshadows (particularly when they didn't seem to work that well as a one-stroke eyeliner), but they often proved problematic with sheerer, uneven applicator or were just hard to diffuse along the edges. They didn't take eyeshadow layered on top of that particularly well either, so I don't find they were particularly usable as bases either.

Lime Feva
Lime Feva is a bright pop of lime green with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. I found this one to have a chalkiness to it, which seemed to come through with how it cracked when dried down as a single-stroke eyeliner and in the slightly powdery (like literal chalk) consistency when I tried to blend out a larger block of it (to see if I could get more even application). It had semi-opaque pigmentation in a single stroke, though it did not apply evenly and was hard to build up due to the uneven surface. Once it dried down, it was set in place and didn’t show any signs of fading or flaking over 10 hours of wear.

Skinny Dip
Skinny Dip is a bright pop of periwinkle blue with strong, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff in one pass, which adhered evenly to my lower lash line and was fairly easily to maneuver along the curve of my lash line. The texture was smooth and fluid, though I felt like the applicator allowed for a bit too much product to get loaded onto it, so I did experience some of the color spreading and drying down in fine lines when I used the included applicator. When I used it with a separate brush, I had better precision and was able to apply a bit less and not have it get into my fine lines. After the eyeliner dried down, it wore well for 10 hours without fading or flaking on my lower lash line.

I wish these weren’t a trio, I LOVE periwinkle and it’s so difficult to find in makeup (still can’t find a single dupe of Lime Crime Venus 2’s Filter) but the other 2 shades I wouldn’t even touch.
Meanwhile I only want the papaya color! Yeah, I’m bummed that they’re sets, too.
Ditto! I love the periwinkle and would never wear the other two.
Sad to see that Lime Feva really didn’t preform well, but I’m happy to see the rest of the trio prevailed. The periwinkle blue is beautiful with the green in that look!
Your “Pop of Purple in the Tropics” look is killer! 🙂 How do you think the blue eyeliner would hold up on eyes that tend to tear up?
My eyes weren’t watery while testing, so I don’t know, but they aren’t waterproof (they don’t make the claim either)!
Ok, thanks, I will avoid these. The outside corners of my eyes tend to tear. I’ll stick to my MJ Highliners.
Since I only love the the quite perfect periwinkle shade Skinny Dip, this is a hard pass. Additionally, after watching Raw Kristi Beauty’s tutorial where she used this periwinkle, she also used the turquoise from one of the other trios and said it was making her eyes burn! No bueno! ???
Wow, no dupes! That’s pretty unprecedented as far as I know of your blog.
I wish these were sold separately. I love the coral and periwinkle. I’m in love with your “Pop of Purple…” look! The colors and their placement is gorgeous!
I think i’d want all of these, if my skill level were better. Going the CP route.
I hope that Fenty decides to release these eyeliners as individuals as the blue and the coral are fairly good shades, with the green being problematic. They are certainly vivid shades and I don’t think there is a dupe for the coral shade (which is almost unheard of in the beauty world).
These are really fun. I really do love Skinny Dip. I’m just not sure I have the skills to pull these off.
What mascara are you wearing, Christine? Great length and volume!
I have a few in rotation but don’t keep track of them specifically by day, sorry!
I wish Fenty would have gone for more saturated colors, like a vibrant orange and a cobalt blue, instead of these pastel hues. And I’m just not sure if trios will appeal to a lot of people either.
I’m just going to wait for the Baeside set to go on sale… I really love the periwinkle and coral liners. But to have a crappy one included and at $35 dollars? Nah. At $20-something, I’d go for it.
Just hope the discount comes before the summer gets into fill swing and I have time to enjoy them….
My eye liner skills are not the best and I fear even a well reviewed liner would just play up my lack of skill. I do much better with a pencil as I can smudge it out if it goes wonky. I will pass on all of these trios.
Angela Bright, an influencer on YouTube, had much difficulty trying to get Lime Feva to work for her as well. She had the same issue with cracking, and she also had issues with the product burning her eyes. She said it began with a tingling sensation, then her eye became watery and red. Aside from that, she created a really beautiful eye look! Please check out her tutorial on YT. Based on your reviews, even though Lime Feva was subpar, I still think I will purchase this set! Your eye look was AMAZING, Christine!
