Miss Claire Eye Liner & Lip Pencil Review

Hi girls, have any of you heard about this brand called Miss Claire? I hadn’t heard about it on any beauty blog and so when the SA showed this to me, I was very very skeptical. However, it was cheap. Dirt cheap! And that was the time I was beginning to experiment with colour. After a brown and a black liner, I wanted blue. So I said, what the heck, let’s just try with this one first. It is a twist up pencil in a beautiful midnight blue (or is it navy?) with such fine shimmer that you see a shine to it, but cannot make out the shimmer particles. For 140 bucks, I think Miss Claire is worth every paisa!

After I’d used Miss Claire for a while, I was happy with it enough to try another colour / product from the same brand and I ended up getting a lip liner. Now, I normally do not use a lip liner. But I bought this one to arrest the bleeding of my few dark lippies (again, thanks to the beauty bloggers, I now know this). The shade I bought is called Nude Wine, a dark berry colour. It cost me just 75 bucks. This is what it looks like–

And Finally, the pros and Cons of both –

Pros of Miss Claire Eye Liner & Lip Pencil

1. Both the pencils are quite pigmented as you can see from the swatches. The swatches as well as the eye pic are a single swipe only.
2. They are very creamy and do not tug at the skin. This is very important because the VoV pencils I have used do tug at the skin
3. The eye pencil is smudge proof and fades very little. I have super duper oily lids and even Colorbar i-glide fades on my lids after a few hours. This one did not!
4. The colours! Have I gushed about them yet? OMG, they are pretty!!!
5. This one is for the eye pencil only which is a twist up. No wastage and no messy sharpening.
6. I have used the lip pencil underneath a gloss. It worked as a nice lip colour
7. The lipliner is of decent length. You get a lot of product!
8. Once I am bored with the lipliner, I can use it as a Sindoor, it is the perfect maroon to use in summer when I do not like to use the liquid sindoor which will flake off with sweat.

Cons of Miss Claire Eye Liner & Lip Pencil

1. There are no testers available and it is a bit of a gamble.
2. The pencils come packaged with a cellophane wrapping. No ingredients or manufacturing date mentioned
3. No Expiry date either. This is a big con specially for the eye pencil
4. The lip liner is a wooden pencil and I hate to lose product while sharpening.
5. Since the eye pencil cannot be sharpened, you do not have a pointed tip after a few uses. I can’t make a fine line with it. But that just maybe my lack of skill
6. I can’t make a sharp defining line with the eye pencil, but can with the lip liner.
7. They may not be easily available everywhere.

Overall, I am happy with both products. I think these are very good for beginners who are experimenting with colours and are not yet sure what will suit them. Even college going girls would like these. There are a host of colours available right from green to blue to purple to gold along with the regular blacks and browns. Even the lip liner had quite a few shades to choose from. They do defy the notion that quality always comes at a very high price. Sometimes, you get good products that don’t burn a hole in your wallet. As someone who gets bored of her makeup and shows some product love and ignores it for a long time, these are just perfect. My heart would ache if I were ignoring a MAC! Wouldn’t yours???

My Ratings

Eye Pencil: 4.5/5
Lip Liner: 3.5/5
Are you game to try these?

  1. h anks ..yes i have tried a few products of this brand.
    i had a lip liner but forgot the shade now,was a plummy one. and it was quite nice.I also had a black liner which is in acake form ..you need to wet the brush and apply it on your eyelids.gave a mattish look….have lost both the products though:(

      1. Hey Rati, same here….I love MAC eye shadows and all base products like primer, foundation and powder….actually those are bit cheaper than most high-end products like Makeup Forever, Sheisido etc. but for rest of others ( brushes, lipsticks, blushes, eyeliners)…..I try to look into other brands….mix and match keeps me out of guilt thing na….but I always make it a point to return anything I dont like…specially if I am spending big bucks….. :haanji:

        1. No idea darling… i don’t shop at Gurgaon… but u won’t find this in a mall or something. This product should be available in beauty shops or fancy shops as they are called out here. i bought both these during a vegetable run!

      1. hey anks..i was jus chkin ur review on MIss claire..n it sum hw striked dat i too might have same brand eye-pencil in green and brown..and guess wht ..voila..i rummaged my bag n found my Miss claire Glimmer stick for eye in Deep Brown #E-12 pensil..guess i forgot abt it :p..and i jus hav applied dat on my upper eye line…:):)..and this brand is easily available in local beauty shops..u can fyn des colored pensil at POS counters (point of sale) in des shops..i got it from Malviya nagar(south delhi)..:)

  15. Hey can you give me a list of places where i could get it.. irla is a traffic nightmare.. so ne other places ka suggestion is superwelcome.. i am thinking of buying 2-3 eye pencils from this brand,one brown, one green and one matte blue…

    also any idea about the cake liner.. and if it comes in colours..

    1. No idea about Mumbai Supriya. I haven’t done much cosmetic shopping from Mumbai. Check out your neighborhood beauty store. Even if they do not have it, they must have heard of it and can probably get it for you…

  16. hey anks..i was jus chkin ur review on MIss claire..n it sum hw striked dat i too might have same brand eye-pencil in green and brown..and guess wht ..voila..i rummaged my bag n found my Miss claire Glimmer stick for eye in Deep Brown #E-12 pensil..guess i forgot abt it :p..and i jus hav applied dat on my upper eye line…:):)..and this brand is easily available in local beauty shops..u can fyn des colored pensil at POS counters (point of sale) in des shops..i got it from Malviya nagar(south delhi)..:)
