Colour Chameleon - Ögonpenna

Must Have for Eyeliner!

Glides on effortlessly, makes my hazel eyes pop, and stays on all day! Not easy to blend, but I use it as an eyeliner, so I am okay with that.

The colour is beautiful, I saw this on instagram and it looked amazing. Reality is that it does not blend out well at all and ends up looking patchy. Creases like crazy. Basically unusable for me sadly.

Just go with the Eyes to Mesmerize pot shadow…

Pros: Beautiful color, doesn’t budge once set! Cons: Dries super fast, making it extremely difficult to blend. Application was very difficult and ended up patchy. I bought this because I love the pot shadows and thought this pencil would be convenient, as well as $5 cheaper. Spend the extra 5 bucks and get the pot - so much easier to use!

Has potential but way too dark

Ugh I wanted to love this. The idea of the perfect olive golden stick eyeshadow by CT was too much temptation. I knew it was going to be dark but hoped I could sheer it out. Nope. I mean you can, but all the shimmer goes with your finger and you’re left with a reddy olive grayish color that’s still way too dark for us fair girls. No idea how this is considered the day look. Now, on deeper skin tones, this would probably pop and look great! On initial application, it’s a beautiful shimmmery sheen of olive-bronze, but any playing and you will lose sparkle. So this could work if you like the deep color and are good at just sheeting edges. I found the formula creamy and easy to apply but can’t say anything about lasting power. Another CT disappointment—why do I keep coming back!! Oh because everything’s gorgeous. Just not necessarily for me. Boo.

not great

I had high hopes for this considering I really like other eyeshadow sticks. This was very hard to blend, dries almost instantly. Nothing special in terms of color selection. Back to my Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier sticks.

Use a sharpener!!!

I'm writing this primarily for all the reviewers who seem to have missed that this a PENCIL that needs to be SHARPENED. It does not twist. That being said, it's pretty good!

Not a Great Shadow Pencil, Better as a Liner

I'm honestly not in love with this product. As an eyeshadow, not great. You can get better quality & performance from Nudestix. It works as an eyeliner...but there are better & more affordable options for lining out there. I purchased the shade 'Golden Quartz', which is unique & I am going to keep as a lower lash liner...but FYI for those considering this shade...it is VERY sparkly (another reason I don't love it as a shadow).

I gave it a one star bc it’s very pigmented. But it DOES NOT blend what so ever

Beautiful color you can wear as a soft accent or quite boldly. Also works as a liner. Best if you smudge and blend with your finger, which can be messy on your fingertip, but just be prepared with a wipe. It’s worth it.

great for oily skin

This is the first cream product I’ve used that doesn’t crease on my oily skin/ eye lids. I don’t even need a eye primer with it. Great for creating a quick eye look. Can easily be blended with fingers or a brush.

can’t sharpen

You can not sharpen these! So very little product! Do not recommend!

Golden Quartz is a Phenomenal Color for Hazel Eyes

Golden quartz is the most amazing, gorgeous eye shadow for my coloring: hazel eyes & tawny blonde-streaked hair. The sparkle is key. With it, the color picks up on my irises, makes my eyes look huge, makes me look leontine. I love it. I would only buy this eyeshadow, and use it every day, except the applicator is subpar: a hard-to-sharpen pencil. As an absolutely hopeless non-pro, I waste a lot of the color, and sometimes scratch my eyelids a little as I try to maintain and keep using the pencil. I know I should use brushes more, but I'm not a makeup artist, and I will never approach Youtube makeup diva devotion. As a half-hearted makeup wearer, how I wish this beautiful eyeshadow came in the Make Up Forever Aquaresist applicator.
