I've got a tonne of eye pencils all tucked away in a nifty little box. There's something so pretty about them, all the pretty colors and packaging. But black is the one colour you can not have enough of. It's most used and anybody can use it and look good. It is also enough to do an entire eye look. In a hurry just swipe it across your lids and smudge, BAM! Instant smoky eye. Then go over closer to you lash line, tight line on the upper and lower lids. Gorgeous smoky eyes in under 2 minutes. Generally speaking, you'll be looking for a formula that is matte, stays put, yet is pliable enough to smudge out when you apply it and is very very black. So does this product fit the bill?
Price: 315 Rs.
Packaging: I really like these retractable type pencils. No need for sharpening. This could pose as a problem for girls who do precise lines, flicks and such. I personally use liquid or gel liner for this purpose. I just use it for lining the inner rims or smudging purposes.
Close up of the tip
Product: Let's see; matte it is, very black-yes, long lasting-absolutely (12 hours+), overly creamy or hard and draggy- somewhere in the middle. I assumed it would be a good dupe for UD's 24/7 eye pencil 'perversion', but it's not. The closest I have found is Prestige's eye pencil in 'Deep Black.' Here are a couple of swatches of this product:
Is it worth it? Yes. For the price it's a good product.
Marks: 8.5/10
