This eye makeup is a lighter version of the smokey eye. I like to call it a 'Charcoal eye'. When applying eyeshadow I tend to stray away from dark colors. Just because you really need to blend for a good while or else you've achieved raccoon eyes. I usually don't always wear eyeshadow. I like to keep my makeup minimal and pretty quick. BUT something shifted in me recently and I felt like wearing a darker eye look one day. So I came up with this quick eyeshadow look that is basically the sista of the smokey eye. It took me no longer than 5 min to complete my eye makeup 👍💥 The 2 in 1 Khol Liner is creamy enough to blend easily with your fingers and the new eyeshadows have passed my test because they are true to their color once you try them on. essence did it right with the new liquid lipsticks. These babies are amazing! The colors are buildable, pigmented, and moisturizing. I also loved the new packaging and oval shaped sponge applicator. It gets a good amount of product to apply as a first coat on your lips. Another reason why I'm all about the new liquid lipsticks. They're the perfect in between of a lipstick + lipgloss. *Dupe talk: I also noticed a similarity in the nude shade w. one of my NARS nude lipsticks. Both shades are very much alike which is awesome cause we all know NARS is a beauty splurge, ha ha! So for $3.49 it's a freakin' steal! Lots of new things going on for essence make up.
