My Experience with e.l.f. Beauty Book Smoky Eye Set:

Well this beauty book consists of all possible beauty products which an eye makeup junkie would think of starting from an eye lid primer to day & night eye shadows. My sis advised me to get few of these sets apart from previous geometric sets, to impress my acquaintances and friend circles. And I am glad that I followed her advice, as I can notice how pigmented and quality products e.l.f. delivers at insane cheap price. This beauty set comprise of smoky eye shadow shades starting from day/night highlight which are a peachy ice and shimmery silver eye shadow highlighter respectively. They are intense pigmented shades and are supposed to be worn on brow bone as per instructions. I feel the silver highlighter and icy peach are perfect for every age group and perfectly put together for both day/night looks. Their wear time is also decent with up to 4 hours when used with primer on oily eye lids, with minimal fall outs, however, they seamlessly blend on skin with no creasing.

Talking about the base shade which is another gorgeous set of rosy brown day time shade and smoky black night time shade! I simply love both the shades for their velvet powdery texture and seamless blending on eye lids. They give flawless finish with minimal strokes irrespective of using our own eye shadow brush or finger tips. They do have good wear time of 4-5 hours with eye lid primer, which is quite good considering the shades give minimal fall out with perfect finish.

Lastly the contour shades are very intense and give velvet cream finish on eyes, with no fall out and no creasing along fine lines. They stay quite longer and pair up so well with other crease and base shades.

Talking about the black pencil liner, it is intense black and quite decent in texture. It slides easily on our oily eye lids with no tugging & pulling. However I find it slightly poking on my waterline and hence I would not prefer using it on waterline. It is a smudge free pencil with decent wear time of 3+ hours on oily eye lids. However it is too small and might be tricky while applying on our eyes.

The neutral peach eye lid primer might be another tricky product for fair/porcelain skin as it may give uneven skin tone. However, it seems a perfect primer for pale/medium skin tone. I am not sure if it works for under eye circles or other issues but it certainly gives crease free smooth finish on skin provided we blend it quickly or it may dry out fast.

Overall considering few cons I feel this is still a great deal for all smoky make up lovers, especially looking at those intense pigmented and velvet powdery eye shadow shades apart from decent eye liner, which works well on any skin type with smudge free quality. The primer might be tricky though. My sis feel eye shadow applicator might be useless as she uses her finger tips and eye shadow brush for better coverage and pigmentation.

Cons of e.l.f. Beauty Book Smoky Eye Set:

  • The eye lid primer might be tricky for fair skin beauties
  • We need to blend the primer fast or it may dry quickly resulting in uneven finishing

  • The eye shadows are powdery and swirling brush might cause fall outs from palette which may lead to wastage
  • The eye shadow applicator is meant for touch ups unlike flawless make up application

Would I Repurchase/ Recommend e.l.f. Beauty Book Smoky Eye Set ?

Well looking at the price and contents of beauty book I feel we should not concentrate on cons rather enjoy this beauty treat. We cannot expect anything better than this beauty book for 5 bucks to be frank. I will definitely consider these beauties every time in my gift list, though personally it is a skip for me, since I am an amateur for eye makeup unlike my sisters & friends. I would recommend it to all Smokey-Eye Makeup lovers.

    1. true kadamabari.. even am tempted to get one for myself even though i hardly wear blusehs and eye shadows but they luk so so gorgeous that i wanna play with them.. πŸ™‚

  2. It has awesome versatile shades Neetu πŸ™‚ it sounds like a good n worthy product.. I wish they had given a retractable liner or may be a gel one.. I m always scared to use such pointed ones πŸ™

    1. true parmita.. the price is wt makes them worthy and one time try especially for beginners who r learning and experimenting with their eye make up.. πŸ™‚

  3. Ha, I just bought this the other week (although I paid $11 because we just pay heaps more for things in Australia :S)
    I found the eyepencil rather hard and it tugged a little – you’re right about it being difficult to use because of its size. The eyeshadows are ok.
    I do dig that primer though πŸ™‚

    1. yeah comparing eye pencil to branded ones it will seem bit tugging pulling but for price its quite decent i feel. but u pay such high price in austrailia for elf.. :O is it always so highly priced?
