# Wing-Assisting Liners L'oreal's Infallible Flash Cat Eye Liner Provides the Perfect Guideline By Riley von Niessen | Published 2019-04-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flash-cat-eye References: [popsugar](https://www.popsugar.com/beauty/Loreal-Infallible-Flash-Cat-Eye-Review-46023079) & [lorealparis](https://www.lorealparis.ca) Getting the perfect winged liner can take a lot of trial and error, even for some of the most seasoned beauty lovers, which is what prompted L'oreal to launch its Infallible Flash Cat Eye eyeliner. The black liner has a fine pen tip, which gives consumers plenty of control when applying the product. While it can be used to create virtually any eyeliner look, what makes it really stand out is its removable stencil. The stencil can be placed near the eyelid while the eyeliner is used, preventing any bumps and slips in the process and revealing a perfect line that flows with the eye's natural shape. The pen-tip eyeliner is available beginning May 10th from major beauty retailers for just $10. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Stencil Eyeliner:** The use of removable stencils in eyeliner application provides a new level of precision and convenience for users. - **Pen-tip Liner:** The fine pen tips of eyeliners give users greater control over application and allow for intricate designs. - **Innovative Beauty Tools:** The development of new beauty tools serves as a potential disruptive innovation opportunity within the beauty industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Cosmetics:** The cosmetics industry can benefit from producing innovative beauty tools such as stenciled eyeliners. - **Retail:** The retail industry can capitalize on the demand for innovative beauty tools by providing a wider variety of products to consumers. - **Manufacturing:** The manufacturing industry can benefit from investing in the development and production of new beauty tools that offer greater convenience and precision for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [24-Hour Liquid Liners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/247-ink-liquid-liners.md) - [Eyeshadow-Liner Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquideyes.md) - [Peel-Off Lip Liner Stains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sacheu-beauty.md) - [Cushioned Grip Lip Liners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easy-way-lip-liner.md) - [Long-Wear Stage-Proof Eyeliners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stageproof-eyeliner.md) - [Smudge-Proof Brown Eyeliners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tubing-eyeliner.md) - [Dual-Tipped Brow Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loreal-paris-faux-brow.md) - [Versatile Multi-Use Cosmetic Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-tattoo-eye-stix.md) - [Soft-Blur Lip Liners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refys-blur-liner.md)
