Hi everyone! I hope you are having a great week so far.
We all know that it's that time of the year when we add some color not just in our outfits but in makeup as well. Sometimes it can be hard to create a look with bright eye shadows especially for beginners and that is when the colored eye pencils rescue us. You can use them as a base to make eye shadow pop, line your eyes, smudge it under lower lash line, use it on the water line or pop it in the inner corner of your eyes. The result will change your eye look incredibly making it springish and fun.
Last time when I went to Ulta I saw that cute little box of travel size eye liners and I thought why not to try them out since there are not just black and brown pencils in it but purple, bronzed, turquoise and other fun colors.
It also looked like a great practicing kit for beginners who doesn't want to spend bunch of money and buy pencils separate and decide at the end that colorful eye liners are not for them (also there is a way to fall in love with them).
I have to add that these pencils are not waterproofed. They can smudge easily but In my make up look I put a purple eye shadow powder over it to prevent smudging. All pencils are very creamy and applying with no fuss.
On the picture above you can see the swatches on my hand. Here are the names:
Olive Branch
Halo
Mink
Aero
Bronzed Medal
Golden Egg
Denim
Black Out
Majesty
Night Sky
I have to add that its hard to see the difference between Mink and Bronzed Medal but Bronzed Medal has a slight gold shimmer to it. Now, Black out is just regular black liner but Night Sky has a very small glitters in it. I thought that Denim was a gray liner but on the picture it seems dark blue. Lets just call it bluish gray or vice versa.
Here is my makeup look I created using purple pencil eye liner Majesty.
I have to say that my favourite colors are Aero, Golden Egg and Majesty. I am going to make more looks with every color for sure. Also I have a high hopes for greenish olive colored pencil called Olive Branch, just because I don't have green eye shadow but I really want to start using green in my makeup looks.
Like I mentioned above I purchased my box in Ulta (obviously, it is an Ulta brand).
They retail for $14 so go get you some. :)
