Hey guys! Ralf here! Today I want to talk about a really cheap 60 pesos eyeliner that I've been using since the 10th grade! It is the “PINKFLASH OhMyLine Eyeliner Black Evenly Pigmented Long Lasting Waterproof Cruelty Free “ eyeliner, and yes, I know, it is so cheap, it is literally a dollar! I can't verify its cruelty-freeness due to the fact that they are not in PETA or the Cruelty-Free Kitty’s databases. I'd love to give my thoughts on this product, but before I do, what is pinkflash?
Pinkflash is a popular Chinese beauty brand first launched in September 2020 in Guangzhou, China. (Fadiyah et al., 2025), It seems that the current CEO is Xing Fang (according to linkedin.com). It’s known for their cheap makeup products, as i’ve said before, their eyeliner is literally just a dollar, give or take. It is also a sister brand of focallure and ireneda according to the pinkflash.cn website.
It has a RoCkY history, with its Lasting matte lip cream and OHMGLOSS lip gloss being banned by the Philippine FDA, due to the fact that it was unverified, and it also had three of its products banned by the Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOL), and Indonesian version of the FDA, for containing K3, K10 and acid orange dye.
Pinkflash clarified in an instagram post that their factory changed the ingredients without notification, and that the ingredients did not comply with BPOL standards.
The Chinese beauty brand also said that they withdrew all the defective products and destroyed them.
It also appears that they have gotten their OHMYGLOSS approved by the Philippine FDA, their shopee page for the gloss shows an FDA certificate stating that the gloss has been approved.
No FDA Approval is shown for the Lasting matte lip cream.
Other than that, most of their products seem to be safe to me, i used their foundation, setting powder, and highlighter and have had no adverse effects, in fact i used their foundation way past its expiry and i had barely any skin reactions.
But, what about the eyeliner?
The pinkflash “PINKFLASH OhMyLine Eyeliner Black Evenly Pigmented Long Lasting Waterproof Cruelty Free” eyeliner in 01 Upgrade Black is definitely a bold liner that gives me the sharpness that I was looking for. It was easy to use but it also squirted onto my uniform? idk, all i know is that after using it i had eyeliner all over my uniform and it was crazy! it did require re-application due to my oily ass lids, but overall it held up and looked good!
I was constantly getting compliments on my eyeliner. But for me, you get what you pay for in that you have to buy a new pen every 1-3 months if you use it regularly, idk i guess im just new to liquid liner but someone else in a shopee comment section talked about how fast it dried up.
My solution to that was filling the cap with contact lens solution and pushing the pen in and out, and waiting for it to absorb it a little bit. yes it waters it out and it is sheerer, but it works!
Overall, this eyeliner did what it did, and for a dollar? I'd say it’s not too bad! it isn’t the BEST eyeliner, but it is certainly good enough.
See you on the other side!
