I’m Kiran Ahmad , crazy about creative art and design and a die hard Shakira Fan. I love exploration, reading magazines, sketching, photography and blogging. I don’t think I can ever have enough of makeup and I love sharing what I know.
Company/Brand Claim: Ideal to smoothly define the eye. Intense wear, high coverage.
For Skin Type: –
Packaging: Basic, small eye liner pencil with a plastic cap.
Product Coverage: Full
Finish: Metallic
Texture and Feel: I wouldn’t say is it very smooth as it takes a little effort to get good color payoff. The tip isn’t ultra soft like I expected it to be.
Color: Basic emerald green but shows turqouise in bright lighting.
Fragrance: None
Application: Use it like a regular eye liner pencil on the top and/or botton lashes. Reapply for a bolder look.
Result: My purchase of this eye liner was accidental. I didn’t find it interesting at the counter and told the sales lady I’ll skip it. To my surprise she slipped it into the paper bag, which she left at the payment counter and I came to know of it when I got home. For those who have been to Naheed Super Market must know how the billing system for cosmetics works. So there was no way I could have known about the trick over there. Anyway, emerald desire which is a rich green with a metallic finish. It takes a little effort to get a darker color payoff because the pencil does not apply smooth. I wish the tip was a bit softer. It can be used on both the upper and lower lash line and doesn’t transfer on the eye lid, plus, it doesn’t stick to my lower lashes which is a big relief. Doesn’t smudge or bleed off but it’ll stain your fingers upon rubbing the eyes. Sharpening will eat off some tip, which is something I literally hate about pencils. It is essential to carry around and doesn’t literally melt under warm temperature.
Staying Power: It tends to lighting within a few hours if worn alone. Stays on longer if used over eye shadow or primer.
Times Tested: 5 times use
Cons: Color range. It doesn’t come in black. It is also expensive.
Anything Else: –
The DMGM Color Explosion eye liner comes in 6 dazzling shades and each pencil contains 1.22 grams of the product.
