I wear eyeliner on daily basis. Specially pencil eyeliner because they give soft definition to the eyes. Since I am not good at drawing straight lines I prefer pencil eyeliners over liquid eyeliners because they are more forgiving and give room ro correct mistakes
Today I am reviewing these newly launched Mellow Gliding Pencil Liner from Holika Holika.
Eyeliner comes with 5 different shades, helps create delicate and sharp eyeliner without smudging. In a creamy texture that glides on eyelids and waterline smoothly without caking. Presents oilproof and waterproof effect to offer super long-lasting adherence.
The packaging is really nice. I love the color coded aspect of these eyeliners makes it super easy to locate in the makeup bag. There is sharpener attached at the bottom which makes it super convenient and space efficient
#01 Greige: Cool tone gray brown
If you are like me and like subtle definition to your eye makeup you are going to like this one a lot. The color is a beautiful cool toned gray which is great for natural no makeup look or to define the lower lash line
#02 Cacao Nibs: Cacao-like brown
A regular brown color with hint of reddish tones. I reach out for this on daily bases. Looks less harsh then black eyeliner.
#03 Caramel Cropple:
Warm tone soft brown. Beautiful caramel color to define the eye makeup. Can be used as an eyeliner or as all over the lid for a wash of color.
#04 Coral Brulee:
Natural coral brown that can also use as a shadow after blending
I find this to be a nice warm coral shade that is perfect for a monochromatic makeup look.
#05 Pure Mellow: Champaign gold glitter
Fine champagne glitter to emphasise the inner eye corner . It can be a little patchy and the nib feels a little soft and malleable so apply it with light strokes. Blending the liner with flat brush or fingers solves the issue
These eyeliner pencils glide on smoothly. The formula is smooth and non patchy. It is also transfer proof, smudge proof and sweat proof. You don't have to worry about the drying time as these dry down within few seconds. You can easily maneuver the line with a brush to create shadow and depth. The lead does not break off easily. I have oily lids and many pencil liners transfer to the top part of my brow after some time but this stays put the whole time. You can remove these easily with cleansing oil/ balm. Overall I really like the slim sharp eyepencils. They are very precise and the color range is very versatile for work and college
