Fenty Beauty Chromewrecker, Bad Bride, Grillz Flypencil Eyeliners Reviews & Swatches
Chromewrecker
Fenty Beauty Chrome-wrecker Flypencil Longwear Eyeliner ($22.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a very pale gray with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque coverage in a single, fluid stroke that glided on easily over my lower lash line without tugging or dragging. The product applied evenly and was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. It was quick to dry down, so I’d recommend smudging it immediately (which might even be too late!). It stayed on well for seven hours on my lower waterline and nine hours on my lower lash line.

Formula Overview
$22.00/0.01 oz. - $2200.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "smudge-resistant, water-resistant longwear" with a "creamy" consistency and "hyper-pigmented" coverage. They lasted between four and eight hours on my lower waterline and eight to nine hours with minimal fading/movement on my lower lash line for the most part; they did not seem to be marketed for waterline usage, so longevity ratings are based on lasting power on my lower lash line. I found that the shimmer shades moved the least over time, while they were the ones that adhered least to my waterline compared to the matte shades.
The texture was smooth, creamy, and comfortable to work with on my waterline as well as my lower lash line as it the pencils did not tug. There's not a lot of time for smudging, so you'll want to work quickly and one eye at a time if that's something you'd like to do with the liner.
The pigmentation varied from shade to shade with most shades having somewhere between medium (but buildable) to opaque coverage. There were a few shades that applied best with short, overlapping strokes to get the most even, intense coverage. The creamier texture coupled with the liner's quick drydown meant that a second layer was best applied after the first layer dried down; some of the creamier shades (like Sea About It) layered poorly otherwise.
Warning: once twisted up, the pencil doesn't twist back into the holder, so make sure you don't twist more product than necessary out. I also found that some of the creamier shades could break when applied--I had this occur on the following shades during swatching: Bachelor Pad, In Big Truffle, and Sea About It and had it occur during application (to my lower lash line) with She a Problem.

Bad Bride
Fenty Beauty Bad Bride Flypencil Longwear Eyeliner ($22.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a bright white with neutral-to-cool undertones and flecks of sparkle and fine shimmer throughout. It was one of the more sparkly shades in the line-up (at least at the time of this review), and it did not apply as evenly in a single layer as some of the product built up on itself, which resulted in areas that were were physically raised and thicker and had higher coverage.
The eyeliner yielded semi-opaque coverage in a single layer. It wore well for five hours on my lower water line and seven and a half hours on my lower lash line before fading/thinning noticeably.

Grillz
Fenty Beauty Grillz Flypencil Longwear Eyeliner ($22.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a light-medium, yellow gold with moderate, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It ran yellower than a lot of gold eyeliners, but it was definitely more of a gold hue than a yellow one.
The pencil had a smooth, lightly creamy texture that glided easily across the lash line without tugging on it. It had delivered nearly opaque coverage in a single stroke, which built up well to full coverage. The formula dried down quickly, and I found it difficult to smudge this one even working one eye at a time and knowing it was quick-to-set ahead of time. The product started to fade noticeably on my lower waterline after six hours of wear and after eight and a half hours of wear on my lower lash line.

Not that any of these shades are my thing, but Chromewrecker might just be a good one to use to brighten up the whites of one’s eyes? Or maybe not? ?♀️
I vant Chromewrecker so badly…fingers tapping waiting for it to come back in stock…
Hmmm – not a fan of these shades, although the gold one is pretty.
