My eyes don’t look wide compared to my wide face, but they are still wider than the average person’s eyes. My upper lashline is very rounded and few lash bands can accommodate such a high arch. I’ve also realized that my particular eye shape makes things more difficult.
ELF INSTANT LIFT BROW PENCIL SWATCHES UPDATE
I will update this post if any issues arise! House of Lashes Iconic Lite Lashesįalse lashes have been a struggle for me to use for years! They still aren’t easy for me, but I’ve finally gotten a better handle on them in 2019. At the same time, I’ve admittedly not worn it during the Summer yet. I’ve been using this for several months and haven’t had any issues with it yet. However, I tested it with water and it holds on well, as long as it remains untouched. That same benefit is also a downside because it can smudge if you rub it. It’s super soft, easy to use, and easy to wipe away with my finger if I’m rushing and make a mistake. I am in utter disbelief that this brow pencil only costs $2. I hope you all are doing well!ĭeep Brown (the darkest shade currently available)
I have one review scheduled for next week, but my consistent return to Monday postings will not begin until September 13th. I don’t know if it was just a fluke or if that tends to happen with the Ultra precise, but since I loved the Instant Lift anyway (and it’s cheaper and I know I can use up the entire pencil without issue), I decided the Instant Lift deserves the crown and I’m now on brow pencil #2. Then one day, when I went to use the Ultra Precise, I don’t know if it dried out but the whole product just slid right out. I liked how thin and easy it was to draw those realistic brow hairs, but I still missed the Instant Lift after I used it up. There still a few things I haven’t made up my mind about, such as Makeup Geek eyeshadows (which I will officially review at some point this year), and Viseart shadows after being unimpressed by the Dark Mattes Edit Palette in my last Viseart purchase, but I need a bit more time with them in order to decide.Īs a sort of honorable mention, I can say that the ELF Instant Lift Brow Pencil has reclaimed the top spot as my favorite brow product over the ELF Ultra Precise Brow Pencil. It would have been nice to end this post with a list of five products in total, as five is a nice number, but I could only think of these four. Even in reviews I watched where people said they liked it, to me, their under eyes did not look as nice as usual. Mixing the new and original concealers together improves the performance, but the combo is still worse than if I used the original on its own. The original leans golden, which I like, but the ultra creamy leans pink. Even the original 53N Deep and Ultra Creamy 53N Deep have different undertones despite them both being labeled neutral. The only thing I find similar about them is the packaging. The finish is nice, but it provides way less coverage than the original, creases significantly, and is not long-lasting. The main downside to Shape Tape is that it can look dry, so the Ultra Creamy version seemed like the perfect remedy. My love of the original Shape Tape runs pretty deep because I practically need Spackle to cover my dark under eye circles. Other than this Instagram post, I haven’t shared my finalized thoughts about this concealer until now. This powder fills and smooths it over so that you can’t even see it! After several hours it starts to be visible again, but the fact that it can make this dramatic of a difference at all is amazing to me!
ELF INSTANT LIFT BROW PENCIL SWATCHES SKIN
I’ve grown to love this powder so much and wholeheartedly recommend it now because I think everyone has those moments when we just don’t have time to make things as smooth as possible, which this powder helps with, assuming it works with your skin type.Īll foundations eventually settle into the smile line on the right side of my mouth. This has saved me so many times from having to restart a makeup look. However, it’s when I’ve been in a rush to put on makeup that I have noticed a dramatic difference! The blurring effect is so much more noticeable from blending out harsher lines of bronzer or contour, toning down a blush, adding some life to a look that’s too flat or dry looking. I initially didn’t notice that much of a blurring effect because if I take my time blending and concealing all my problem areas, the powder doesn’t make much of a difference except adding a flattering sheen. I remember saying that for my personal needs, I wasn’t certain if this powder was worth $40.
