Faces cosmetics Long Wear Eye pencil- review, swatches

Hi girls,
Hope you are well and happy. I have reviewed many products before from Faces Cosmetics and I'm really loving them. Today I'm going to review another product from Faces Cosmetics and this time it's their Long Wear Eye pencil which is very nice in quality and it can prove to be quite useful in this festive season so take a look at what I have to say about it-


Faces Long Wear Eye Pencil
 Faces Long Wear Eye Pencil is a soft pencil eye liner which is really good in use & long lasting.


What Faces Cosmetics says
Soft gentle pencils in a rainbow of shades. Use them to enhance your natural eye color for dramatic effect or give you that bright-eyed glow. Gentle and safe for sensitive eyes.

Weight
1.15 g.

Price
Rs.249

Packaging

 

 The packaging is simple and cute. It comes in a pencil shape with a black cap.

Shade
 It comes in many beautiful shades. The shade I'm reviewing is gray which gives a soft, smokey look to my eyes.

Texture
It has very soft and creamy texture and glides like a gel liner.

Lasting power

It stays for really long hours on my eyes, very long lasting. In fact I never imagine about so long stay from it but it made me really impressed.

In the mirror of my own Experience



I had been using the same shade eye pencil from Revlon which I loved so much. To be honest, I'd never imagined of this eye pencil to be of so high quality. But after using it I was so impressed now it has become my favorite & the first choice!! It's so smooth and most pigmented eye pencil that requires maximum of one swipe for getting desired result. When I need an instant eye makeup, It's the first, I apply on my eyes first on eye lid then in my waterline, and it instantly brightens my face and give a healthy and soft look. I love its creamy and smooth texture. It's completely waterproof and the staying power is really impressive. It can stay for the whole day on my eyes. I have found every quality in this pencil what I wished from a good brand's eye pencil.

Good points
Love its soft and creamy texture.
It's one of the most pigmented eye pencil that I have ever used.
It's a beautiful matte gray color pencil.
Very smooth and easy to apply.
Gives my eyes a instant soft look.
Very useful for an instant eye makeup.
Completely waterproof and smudge proof.
Reasonable price.
Safe for sensitive eyes.
Strong staying power.


Bad points
 Ingredients list not mentioned.
It needs to be sharpened so leads to a bit of product wastage.
For removing, one needs a good makeup remover.
Availability is a problem because it's not available generaly in all cosmetic stores. 

Finally
Finally I'm so impressed about this eye pencil. It has given a hard competition to many good brands like Revlon and Colorbar. I love its quality. I would love to check out some other shades too.

Queen cosmetics Eye Pencil- Review, Swatches & EOTD

Sometimes when we want a subtle & simple eye makeup so at such times a pencil eyeliner is very useful. Not much effort is also required for applying it. All you have to do is apply it on the upper lash line, then a coat of mascara & a lip gloss and you are done!!

Pencil liners come in many different shades so today I'm here with a light green pencil eyeliner from Queen Cosmetics.


Ingredients
Palm Oil, Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Ceresin, Candelilla Wax, Ozokerite, Vegetable Oil, Pigment, Butylated Hydroxy Toluene, Methylparaben

Shades
Soft and easy to use, Queen kohl pencils come in six beautiful colors. Choose from Azure (blue), Black, Brown, Grey, Light Green and Violet. My shade- Light Green


Price
£6.75 (Rs 500-550 approx.)

In the mirror of my experience
I seldom use any colored eye pencil....so mostly it is a black, gray or brown. I even have some blues but they are just for fulfilling an interest of mine of collecting new things. But now i got a chance to try out a light green eye pencil as well which is a very elegant shade and will not look odd if applied. The shade is green but a bit unique as it is slightly dull. I came to see its pigmentation during the swatches but while applying it on my eyes, I felt its softness which was great but it there is a bit problem with this that in a warm or hot weather, I can't keep it in my purse carelessly because it can be melt easily and there always will be a fear of the tip getting broken. I mean to say that if I remain careful and keep it in my refrigerator in the hot weather, it'll be fine and safe. It's so smooth and comfortable in applying. One line on you upper lash with mascara can make my eyes a simple but lovely look. I love its smoothness, pigmentation and the dull effect.

Good Points
I love its unique shade

It's so soft and smooth in applying. I love to apply it on my upper lash line to lower even in my water line as well.
The price is quite reasonable.

Looks lovely after applying and gives a simple but different look to my eyes.
If I keep it carefully, will remain for a long time without any damage.


Bad points

Can melt easily in warm weather and the tip can get broken or dis shaped. Will have to be a bit careful for keeping it safe.
If you love shimmery shades, you can't get it here.

If you have oily skin, always apply a compact powder on your lids before applying it.

Not available in India but it ships internationally & accepts orders from anywhere.

Final thoughts

Finally I love this eye liner. It has given me an easy option to decorate my eyes with a simple look. Commonly we wear cotton T-shirts and Indian dresses in summers and monsoon as well. Applying such types of eyeliner will be pleasant feeling on these casual dresses. I love this eye pencil ♥♥
