No7 Smoky Powder Eyeliner Brown Review

Hey, there!

Boots pharmacy is my go-to store here in the UAE for my skin care products. I have tried a lot of brands that they hold – Soap and Glory, Ted Baker, Botanics, No7 and their own Boots labeled products. This time, I picked up some makeup products from their No7 brand. Today’s review is about “No7 Smoky Powder Eyeliner” in the shade Brown.

My Experience with No7 Smoky Powder Eyeliner Brown:

The No7 Smoky Powder Eyeliner comes in three shades – brown, black and sparkly black. I thought of trying the brown shade first. The packaging of this eyeshadow resembles that of an eyeliner. In fact, the product is named an eyeliner, however, in essence, it is an eyeshadow powder. I found this product to be very interesting. The packaging is all brown with silver printing – color-coded with the shade. I like its sturdy packaging. The packaging is quite compact and travel-friendly.

The unique feature of this product is its wand applicator. It resembles the wand applicator that comes with a liquid lipstick or gloss, however, it is a bit flatter and modified for eyeshadow application. At first, this applicator did not seem very useful to me since I love using my eyeshadow brushes to apply eye makeup. But this wand applicator is a dual purpose one. You can use the tip of the wand to apply the product as an eyeliner. It gives the look of a smudged eyeliner. However, if you use the wand along its length and place it flat on the eyelid, it will give the same look as we apply eyeshadow with a brush all over the lid. I found this aspect very versatile!

The shade is a deep brown or rather a brownish/black shade. It is not a warm brown shade, rather a cool brown one. I found this shade very pretty. It’s like the basic eyeshadow shade for a natural eye contour makeup look. It is all matte hence, can be used for the day looks as well as brown smoky looks for the evenings.

The texture of the powder is not very creamy as such. The eyeshadow powder is smooth and blends well on the eyelid with the wand applicator. The powder does not feel chalky either. However, the eyeshadow powder, while the application, gives a lot of fallout. You need to be careful while using this since the powder tends to fall and spread. I make sure to tap off the excess multiple times and then use it.

This color shows well on the eyelids. It gives a deep brown smoky look which looks beautiful on the eyes. For this price, this eyeshadow is a good deal and this color is a pretty shade to have which suits Asian skin tones well.
