Sephora Black, Lavender, Sea Green, Lime Green Matte Ultimate Gel Eyeliners Reviews & Swatches

Black Glitter Sephora Black Glitter Ultimate Gel Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil ($13.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a medium-dark black base with neutral-to-cool undertones with flecks of silver sparkle. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that was drier and ragged along the edges due to the texture being stiffer and thinner, so it was hard to get a fluid, even line of product on my skin. I found that layering it helped somewhat but never fully. This shade stayed on well for seven hours on my lower lash line.

Victoria Beckham Beauty Blonde & Midnight Lid Lustres Reviews & Swatches

Blonde Victoria Beckham Beauty Blonde Lid Lustre ($36.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a bright, white gold with subtle, warm undertones and warmer, yellowy-gold shimmer and sparkle. It had a moderately-dense, slightly thicker feel in the pot, but it was soft, silky, and blendable when applied to bare skin.
