Review and swatches: Essence – Smokey Eyes Set – Punk Vibe + quick EOTDOpis in ocena: Essence – Smokey Eyes Set – Punk Vibe + hiter EOTD

I’m really impressed by the Smokey Eyes Sets by Essence.

There are two different sets. One is black and the other brown. I showed you swatches of both in THIS post.

The set comes with a gel liner, eyeshadow and an applicator (sponge, brush). The packaging is OK. Not fancy but useful, robust and quite easy to handle. The eyeshadow is well pigmented, which I like very much. It’s soft, maybe at times to soft. The gel liner isn’t pigmented enough for me. It’s good to use it as a base, but not quite pigmented enough to use it as a liner. I can’t write anything about the applicator because I don’t use such applicators.

I can’t remember the price, but as far as I remember these sets are worth every cent. :yes:

I made a quick make up mainly with the Punk Vibe Smokey Eyes Set so you can see how it looks like on the eyelid. I also used The She Space eyeshadow (in the inner half of the eyelid; I can’t remember which shade I used) and some highlighter (also don’t know which one). I usually apply eyeshadows directly over a cream base, but this time I applied a neutral eyeshadow over cream base and then applied the Punk Vibe eyeshadow. I used this aproach manly because the Punk Vibe eyeshadow is dark and very well pigmented, but I didn’t want a very dark look. :yes:

Here are the pictures of the very simple look …

I was very clumsy at applying mascara. Sorry. :blush:

Hope my review was useful. I would love to hear your thoughts about this product or some other products you like for smokey eyes. :cute:Nad Essence Smokey Eyes Seti sem res navdušena.

Obstajata dva različna seta. Eden je v črni barvi, drugi v rjavi. Fotografije obeh sem vam že pokazala v TEM prispevku.

Vsak set vsebuje črtalo za oči v obliki gela, senčilo in aplikator (gobica, čopiček). Samo pakiranje je OK. Prav nič posebno. Čisto v stilu Essence proizvodov. Je pa uporabno, robustno in dokaj enostavno za uporabo. Senčilo za oči je izredno dobro pigmentirano, kar mi je zelo všeč. Senčilo je mehko, na trnutke morda premehko. Gel črtalo je meni premalo pigmentirano, da bi ga uporabljala dejansko za kot črtalo. Je pa super za podlago, ki celoten izgled še potemni. O aplikatorju ne morem napisati čisto nič, ker priloženih aplikatorjev ne uporabljam.

Cene se ne spomnim, vendar sem prepričana, da je set vreden nakupa in cena ni previsoka glede na kvaliteto. :yes:

Naredila sem hiter “make up”, pri katerem sem večinoma uporabila senčilo iz opisanega seta. Tako si lahko predstavljate, kako senčilo izgleda na veki. Poleg Punk Vibe seta sem uporabila še senčilo znamke The She Space (na notranji polovici veke; odtenka se ne spomnim) in osvetljevalec (ne spomnim se katerega). Po navadi nanesem senčilo direktno na krem bazo. Tokrat pa sem čez krem bazo najprej nanesla nevtralno senčilo in šele nato nanesla Punk Vibe senčilo. Tega pristopa sem se lotila, ker je Punk vibe senčilo precej pigmentirano in temno, jaz pa nisem želela preveč temnega look-a. :yes:

Pri nanašanju maskare sem bila popolnoma nerodna. Se opravičujem. :blush:

Upam, da je bil moj opis uporaben. Zanimajo me vaša mnenja o tem proizvodu ali pa katerekoli drugem senčilu, ki ga uporabljate za smokey eyes. :cute:
