Essence I love Glam Powder Eyeliner And Eye Shadow Review

Hi!

When I came across Essence brand at a chemist and beauty store in Mumbai, I was shocked to see their prices. I bought a lot of their products, some are good and some really sad.

My Experience with Essence I love Glam Powder Eyeliner and Eye Shadow:

I have been using this since November 2014 and a review is long overdue. The powder eye liner and eye shadow duo is from the “I love” product line by Essence which is a German company.

So let’s start with the positives, I just love the color of this powder liner cum shadow. It is the blackest of blacks and ideal for creating the perfect Smokey eye look. The powder is highly pigmented and has lovely shimmer to it. Has a mix of blue and silver shimmers. Its applicator is called a flock applicator which is very soft, flexible and bends as I want. I struggle with liquid eyeliners and am someone who hates to waste time on applying makeup. For me everything should be under 10 minutes. So this definitely helps me with quick eye makeup.

The applicator does most of the job, applies very efficiently and smoothly. I am someone who sometimes likes to apply eye shadow over the pencil or gel liners to lock in the product or to create a natural looking soft liner.

As an eye shadow, I don’t find any con and works lovely. It blends easily and again very easy to apply. I have used it for a maximum of 4 hours and it faded away a little but the product was quite visible and didn’t spread around. I have used it always used it with a primer but I guess without a primer, it might be here and there.

On the downside, I found the applicator to be a little messy because whenever I apply it, I end up with black loose flakes over my nose, cheeks and under the eyes. So I need to be a little slow and use some tissues to wipe off the excess whenever I use this.

To counter this, I also apply this first and then do rest of the makeup. If applied as eyeliner, within a few minutes I could see a line on the crease of my eyes. I had to wipe it off and this is such a big turn off. I finished the rest of the look and again found a line on my crease but much lighter. It’s not that I had picked up a lot of product, I have tried it with little product on the applicator as well and I face the same issues.  It does not work too well on the lower lash line, maybe because it’s powdery.

Pros of Essence I love Glam Powder Eyeliner and Eye Shadow:

  • Blackest of black.
  • Lovely shimmers.
  • Ease to apply.
  • Highly pigmented.
  • Love the applicator.
  • Dual purpose.
  • Not tested on animals.
  • Very affordable.

  Cons of Essence I love Glam Powder Eyeliner and Eye Shadow:

  • Product fall out is a nuisance.
  • Does not work well on the lower lash line.
  • Product is leaves a crease on the eye when applied as an eye liner.

Would I recommend/repurchase Essence I love Glam Powder Eyeliner and Eye Shadow?

I do recommend it if you can manage the fall out. I wouldn’t repurchase it as I like things to be simple and can’t put in so much effort for eyeliners.
