Indians and warm skin tones go hand in hand!And Gold is the most flattering color for warmer tones as Silver is for cooler ones :) And Lakme has hit it right with the Colors in the Glide on Eye color range like Henna Gold,Warm Copper,Plush Purple...
I own Warm Copper from these and Eying the Henna gold next which is presumably a shimmery Khakhi color :)
PACKAGING: It comes in a black pencil case with a transparent cap which is d only way to know the color.Packaging is very simple but could have been better and sturdier for the price.It retails for 275/- rupees.This one is definitely a "Handle with care" type!
TEXTURE: It is definitely a plus.The tip just glides dreamily.So creamy and No tugging.Just a smooth application.I am blown by this.It does tend to smudge but since it is so smooth no complaints here!But be careful while sharpening it crumbled when I tried to sharpen it.
PIGMENTATION: Pigmentation is great and similiar or even better than the Faces eye pencils.A single swipe is enuf to brighten up ur eyes but I like going over again to make it more popping.
COLOR: The color is a gorgeous gold color..to me it looks like pure gold..the way new jewels shine!Not the dull gold color.U can use it all over the lid for last minute party eye makeup and line ur upper lids with a shimmery brown liner or an olive eyeshadow or liner.
I wanted to show u how pretty the shade looks when paired with purple :)
LASTING POWER: Lasting power is average compared to Faces liner..lasts on my lids for 4 hours.It tends to smudge too.I tend to compare all my liners to Faces one unintentionally :P Wish Faces had a gold one!
Pros:

Pros:
- Fab shade which will compliment warm skin tones
- I am pretty sure it is waterline safe as it didn't sting me.
- One of the few gems that our Desi Brand Lakme has produced
- Creamy and well pigmented.
- Smudges a lot
- Pricey for the quality.Faces eye liners are waterproof and last more than 8 hours.
- Packaging could have been better.
- Sharpening is tricky.
RATING: 3.1 out of 5
RECO: If u already own a gold shade u can skip this very well!
The shade is really pretty..too bad it smudges..ya hope Faces comes out with a similar shade :D
ReplyDeletethe shades look pretty, esp together.
ReplyDeleteI have henna gold, plush purple and aqua green And i love them. Nice review
ReplyDeleteI have four of these pencils and even though they are not smudgeproof, I simple love them for the high pigmentation. Honestly, I am still pretty impressed.
