My Experience with Kleancolor Sapphire Twist Master Strokes Long-Wear Smoky Shadow Stick:

Packaging: This eyeshadow stick comes in a retractable chubby stick form. I like how precisely color-coded Kleancolor products are! The retracting mechanism is a little loose though. The transparent cap fits just fine. It is easy to use and travel friendly.

Packaging

Color:  “Sapphire Twist” is a gorgeous metallic blue shade. I fell in love with the shade the moment I saw this one. It’s the perfect metallic blue in my opinion. It has fine shimmer particles in varying shades of blue and silver. The shimmer particles kind of add to the overall shade and enhances the beauty of the shade even more. It has average pigmentation, but can be built up to your liking. I’d say, on the first swipe, it delivers as much as 50% color and then you can build it up from there.

Texture: Since this eye pencil has shimmer, it doesn’t have a smooth texture. It feels just a tad bit gritty due to the shimmer particles. It is very light though and you don’t feel like you are wearing anything heavy. It creases on both the lids as well as on the waterline. So, if you are using it as an eyeshadow base, you might want to set with a matching eye shadow.  This pencil stick comes off very easily with a wet wipe too.

Eyeshadow stick

Staying Power:  It stays on for 6-7 hours, but does smudge easily and fades just a little bit.  A primer can extend the wear time by a couple of hours or more. Also, if set with an eye shadow, the product might last a few hours longer.
