Colored eyeliners have always intrigued me.
All you need to do is line your eyes as per usual and you have a pop of color
and a different look altogether. I wanted to try out something from Colorbar
and eyeliner being the most used product in my kitty was an obvious choice for
me to try. So I went ahead and bought a colored eyeliner from Colorbar’s I-Glide
eye pencil range.
I went with the shade “Electra” (Thank You
Colorbar for naming these and not only numbering) out of the 10 shades which
were available when I bought this. They came up with 4 new shades, apparently.
I will swatch those for you soon. But
first, let me tell you about Electra!
Shade
–
Electra is a
beautiful deep royal blue which has no shimmers. The blue is pretty bright so
it kind of pops out, but in a subtle way.
Texture
and pigmentation –
This is the smoothest eye pencil I have
EVER tried! It literally glides on my eyelids and I haven’t felt any tugging
till date and I have been using this for over 6 months.
The pigmentation is intense! One swipe is
all you need, so this is perfect in case you want to put on liner in a hurry.
Packaging
–
This comes in a pencil which has to be
sharpened and the pencil has a cap. Since you have to sharpen there is a
certain amount of product wastage, but for me this is better as the twist up
packaging is not really my best friend. I tend to break the whole product lid
from the twist and thus wasting all of it.
Plus this has 1.1 g of product as compared
to 0.35 or 0.4 g of product which you get in twist up packaging. The only
competition in terms of weight of product is the Faces Canada eye pencil which
is 1.15 g for around 300 INR.
My
experience –
I love using this. It’s easy to use, lasts
ALL day long for me. Doesn’t smudge and is waterproof! The matte finish it
gives is like a cherry on top! The only thing you need to keep in mind is that this
settles down very quickly so if you mess up you have to clean it very fast.
I will get one color from the 4 new shades,
because I really like one out of the four.
Price
– 499 INR for 1.1g
Likes –
Literally glides
Creamy texture
Satin-y matte finish
Very long lasting
Easy to use
Highly pigmented
Beautiful shade
Doesn’t smudge
Dislikes –
Product wastage due to sharpening
Sets too quickly
A wee bit pricey
I would definitely recommend you to give
this a try because this will last for a very long time and you can select from
a wide variety of shades! And I think it is totally worth the money!
Let
me know if you have tried this in the comments below?? What should I try from
Colorbar next??
Loads
of love,
