PR SAMPLE

Imagine the situation, you are wearing a pretty colored eyeliner and after an hour it starts transferring to your lids and everywhere else. Such an annoyance, right?

I reviewed the Gel liners from Anastasia Beverly Hills on Summer 2015, this summer I thought, “let’s feature pencil liner which will actually do it’s job and not wander around the eyes.”

And that’s why I am going to review and swatch 14 shades of Lancôme DRAMA LIQUI-PENCIL™ Longwear Eyeliner pencils today.

WHAT DOES THE BRAND SAY:

This is An extreme, long-wear, high-intensity color liquid-pencil eyeliner.
This eyeliner has the high intensity color of a liquid liner and the ease of application of a pencil. Glide on smooth color while giving eyes maximum color intensity and all-day wear. Featuring a creamy, instantly blendable formula, it sets quickly for 24-hour wear—without budging or fading.

PRICE & AVAILABILITY:

Each pencil retails for $23 and can be found on Sephora.

SHADES:

I have skipped the shade Noir Intense (deepest black) as it’s a common black pencil liner and I am almost out of it.

Pluie: Grey, more like a medium taupe brown.
Brulee: Chocolate brown.
Macaron: Bright medium cool toned pink.
Baroque: Matte lavender
Ampoule: Metallic purple
Parisian Night: Metallic midnight blue
Minuit: Matte midnight blue
Cote D’Azur: Bright cool toned cobalt blue
Pacifique: Matte sea green
Embrase: Metallic Grey with a hint of khaki green
Soleil: Matte bright yellow
Lame: Metallic white gold
Lumiere: Metallic light silver
French Lace: Matte white

MY THOUGHTS:

First of all, the color selection of Lancome Drama Liqui pencils is truly amazing. You can get almost all the colors which you will *need* for your creative process.
As the eyeliners are really creamy, they are very easy to use but you will have to be quick if you want a smudged look. Because they set pretty fast.
And also, use caution while sharpening the pencils. They are soft and you will smush them if you apply too much pressure.
The matte ones performed a little bit better than the metallic light colors.
