Contouring is one of the most raved about beauty trends in the recent times. Several beauty brands are coming up with innovative contouring products. Contouring is when you use a matte powder, cream, or pencil product that’s two shades darker than your skin tone to define your nose, forehead, chin, and cheekbones, but it is not limited to these areas. You can contour your eyes as well. Yes! I bought this contour gel eyeliner pencil from Sephora, which is formulated specifically for the inner rim of the eye. So, let’s get started with the review.
Price: $8
Product Description:

This long-wearing, waterproof formula stays in place for hours. Unlike kohl liners or traditional eyeliner pencils, it is specifically formulated with the waterline in mind. The creamy, waterproof gel formulation glides on with ease and sets within seconds for a look that stays put—with no running, smudging, flaking, or fading.
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
– Parabens
What else you need to know:
These liners also feature a built-in sharpener at the base of the pencil, which ensures that you’ll get a precise application every time.
My Experience with Sephora Collection 03 Wide Eyed Contour Inner Rim Gel Eyeliner Pencil:
Back in 2015, white eyeliners were known for making your eyes bright and appear bigger as well. I too fell for it and bought the white eyeliner from Lakme. But, I wasn’t really delighted to have it. Rather than making my eyes look bright or big, it actually made my eyes look weird, and also, it looked chunky on my waterline so, I never used it afterwards. I was always in search for a good eyeliner pencil, which would take place for my black kohl pencils.
While browsing through Sephora, I found this pencil, which was formulated specifically for the inner rim of the eyes. I bought it in the shade “Wide Eyed”, and I’m super happy with the purchase. Sephora Collection Contour Inner Rim Gel Eyeliner Pencil comes in a retractable pencil form, which is very comfortable to use. The cap and the bottom twister bear the actual shade of the pencil, which makes it easy to identify from the makeup stash.
Whenever I wish to put on the eyeliner and skip using a black kohl, I use this nude colour pencil as it instantly makes my eyes look bigger and brighter. It stays put for around 5-6 hours and works well as an everyday wear shade too. It comes with a sharpener at the bottom, which is great. Also, the eye pencil provides a precise line on the inner rim. It is not chunky or flaky and glides smoothly on the waterline. The pigmentation is not over the top, it is average, but since I use it only on my waterline, it works well for me.
Pros of Sephora Collection 03 Wide Eyed Contour Inner Rim Gel Eyeliner Pencil:
- Smooth texture.
- In-built sharpener.
- Retractable form; convenient to use.
- Paraben free.
- Not chunky or flaky.
Cons of Sephora Collection 03 Wide Eyed Contour Inner Rim Gel Eyeliner Pencil:
- Not so pigmented.
- Average staying power.
