Guest Review by Sreeparna Ganguly Coloured eyeliners are very powerful makeup goodie to bring about some colour into the monotonous black eyelooks. A thin strip of coloured eyeliner is able to change the complete makeup-look in a jiffy. That is why, a catchy shade of coloured eyeliner would be my first choice for those lazy days when I am not in the mood of apply ample amount of makeup. Among all the colours we generally see in coloured eyeliners, brown is the most subtle shade. If I don’t want too much attention to my eyes, I go for the brown ones. Though I am more of a pencil-liner person, you will find a few liquid liners as well. Today’s review is about one such item, the Color Pop Liner from Elle 18 in Brown. Do you want to know how it fares on me? Keep reading. About Elle 18 Color Pop Liner Eye Go Vivid Tired of being plain-Jane black? Then it’s time add drama to your eyes with the Elle 18 Color Pop Liner. Get super defined eyes in just a single fluid stroke. Price Rs.85 for 5ml. Buy here. Ingredients Not Mentioned Packaging The Color Pop liner comes in a thick and transparent glass bottle with a black plastic screw-open lid. A fine liner applicator is attached to the lid of the bulbous liner bottle. The bottle bears the name of the product and company logo whereas the lid contains a depiction of a pink haired cartoon-girl. Overall, the package is quite travel-friendly, leak-proof and trendy-looking. Perfect for the college and office going girls I must say. I don’t know why, but for majority of the affordable makeup brands, nailpaint and liquid eyeliner bottles are look-alike. Elle 18 is not an exception in this matter. I have a golden glittery nailpaint from them that looks very similar to this eye liner. Texture & Smell The formula of this coloured eyeliner is liquid. The consistency is not watery; it is denser than that. It never drips off of the brush. The texture of the liner makes it easy to apply without creating mess. This kind of formula is quite desirable to me for liquid eyeliners. Pigmentation Pigmentation is very good when it comes to this particular product from Elle 18. The exact colour shows in my eyes in one stroke itself. However, it I want to darken further I do one more coat. I never needed to go over 2 coats. Variants Black, Brown, Blue, Green, Gray. Shade- Brown The shade Brown is basically a glittery golden brown. The golden tinge to it makes it appear bronzy. This is a great shade for Indian complexions. Finish This Color Pop eyeliner gives glittery finish. The shimmer is not too over-the-top because the glitter particles are very finely dusted. You can actually use it for daytime, colleges and workplaces without any hitches to look extremely made-up. Longevity It stays put for 5-6 hours in cool weather. However, in humid summer the staying power is limited to 3-5 hours if you have oily eyelids. It is not waterproof. If you splash water over it and then rub vigorously, it comes off. If you are not sweating profusely, the product will remain smudge-proof. My Experience To be frank, I am not at all good at liquid or gel eyeliners. I am still learning to do fine lines close to my upper lash-line. Kajals, specially the retractable ones are my thing because their firm tips give far better idea to ‘how close am I’ to my lash-line. I got this eyeliner to practice my hands at liquid eyeliners. You may ask ‘why is that?’ or ‘why not any basic black liner?’ Well, the answer is, to my spectacle-d eyes it is very difficult to identify the minute mistakes I make with a golden-brown liner than any other coloured liners. Brown is closest shade to my skin tone than grey, green, blue or black. Quite a hack, isn’t it! Coming to my experience, I often use it for lining my upper lids if I am opting for minimal makeup looks or daytime looks. If I want more drama, I line my eyes with it in a very thickly and then go over it with basic black liner to draw a thin line. It takes just a minute to dry down. Then it becomes smudge proof. The main con of this product is that, it is not water proof though it claims to be. But, when you shed only 85 bucks for a glitter-eyeliner you must not regret if it’s not waterproof. I am actually happy that the colour-payoff is good. The best way to remove this eye liner is to use a cream based cleansing-milk. I first apply the cleanser over the liner and wait for 15-20 seconds before rubbing it off with a soft cotton pad. Likes Nice brown eyeliner with golden glitters Good colour payoff Suits all skin tones Very affordable & beginner friendly Dislikes Not water-proof Product details not mentioned Summary-4/5 I would recommend Elle 18’s Color Pop Eyeliner in Brown to someone who is just starting off with makeup or who is in search of a budget-friendly bronzy-brown eyeliner with glittery finish.

Easy to carry and apply. Texture The texture of the kajals is very creamy. There is no tugging while applying the kajals. The kajals glide on eye lids and water line very smoothly. I also notice some very fine shimmers in the kajals. Pigmentation The kajals are highly pigmented. One swipe pays off great colour. But if I have used my eye cream underneath, I need 2-3 strokes of the kajals to get the desired color, since my lids turn little oily.

Turquoise It is another gorgeous shade from Lakme Eyeconic range. It instantly pops eyes out. Longevity Since the kajals are very pigmented, they stay put on eye lids until wiped of using a makeup remover. Just face wash can not take these kajals off completely.
