okay i know i still have my gel eyeliners from bbia and tony moly, but that didn't stop me from buying more eyeliner. i have to try some famous japan eyeliners. so i grab the one that has the cosme best sellers sticker on them. actually there are dolly wink and one other brand, but i decided to try k-palette first. and although the famous one is their black shade, i bought the brown one since my bbia gel eyeliner which is also in brown, is almost finished and starting to dry.
this is the description from jpcosme.com: designed to stay smudge-proof and tear-resistant throughout busy days and nights, this cutting edge formula applies smoothly and dries quickly, producing a weightless, lasting finish that is predictably worry-free. packaged with k-palette's patented micro-fibre brush for precise application. benefits: smudge-proof and tear-resistant formula, one of japan's top selling eyeliner, easy to use for quick morning touch-ups and dramatic evening looks, patented micro-fibre brush for precise control, does not penetrate your skin.
the packaging: it comes in a plastic bag with a small booklet inside. everything at the back is in japanese, but luckily they write the shade name in english (unlike other products that even the shade name is in japanese, which is troublesome since i have to google it). the eyeliner itself comes in pen shape. each one has the color of the shade. since i bought the deep brown one, the pen also comes in brown.
the color: mine is deep brown, which is basically brown. and i have to say i'm quite disappointed since i thought it will be like dark brown, but it's more like reddish brown. too light for my preference. on my lid though, it's darker than my hand swatch but it's still brown. so it's suitable for daily use. not too dark and not too light.
the product: the applicator, at one glance, looks like felt tip. but when i swatch it, i was surprised since it was brush! and i have to say the brush is amazing. even though it's not super rigid like liquid liner brushes, it maintains its form when being used. since it's a brush, it's easy to draw line in various thickness, from thin to thick. fyi, there are 4 shades available, super black, black, brown black and deep brown. mine is deep brown.
the result: at first, i was confuse. there's a picture at the back that gives illustration about the eyeliner. there's also a text saying "shut out" and "easy off". i was confuse what that means. then i found out that this eyeliner is waterproof but easy to wash off. quite contradictory right? turns out, it means that after it's being set or dry, it's supposed to be smudge proof or waterproof. even though you cry or splash your face, the eyeliner won't budge. but you don't need separate eye makeup remover to wash this eyeliner. just warm water will do. when i tested it, i didn't wait for it to dry and i smudged it. on my lid too. you have to be careful. don't open your eyes unless it's dried or it will smudge on your lid. especially if you have oily lid. but once it's set, it will be long lasting. i use it for about 7 hours and it's still there. even though i didn't use any makeup primer or eyeshadows. so naturally using primer or eyeshadow (especially the powder one) underneath will make it more long lasting.
so definitely love it! in fact, i don't think i'll ever go back to gel pencil eyeliner again. this one is super easy to use, even for every daily use. i can use it to line my upper eyeline easily, and draw kitten eye, cat eye.. super easy. plus it comes in brown which turns out to be perfect for daily use. beginner, if you feel you can't use liquid liner, try this and it will change your mind. i definitely will repurchase along with other brand too.. this might be my favorite for now, but perhaps trying others might change my mind. so i have to try the other too to be sure. unfortunately, i can only get it if i went to japan or bought it online. and online shops tend to sell a little bit expensive. so definitely will grab more when i go to japan again.
