Sometime back Maybelline created quite a buzz when it launched the Hyper Glossy liner in black. The stuff was sold out on shelves and even online shops were out of stock. I guess I was not the only one who wished that a liner retained the glossy wet look that was just so intense and pretty. They really hit the mark with that one and now they are taking it up a notch. New colors have been introduced to add that “Pop” to your summer look.
I was sent over this sample by the team for review and I got the shade Tangerine Orange which is a bright neon-ish orange shade. In all honesty, I would have never picked up this shade if I had seen it in the counter and would have purchased the teal one as that is more to my taste. But something about this color is interesting.
Ok let me go over some basics of it first before we break down some looks. It comes in a small shiny black plastic bottle with a long cap and the whole thing is about 3-4 inches. There is a nice fine brush attached to the cap which, if you are so inclined, can help you create precision lines and do some creative work. The product is odorless and looks shiny even on drying. I didn’t wear it for too long yet so don’t know how much it will last. My only iffy-ness with it is that it is fast drying (though a good thing I guess) and you have to sort of dip in the tub again to finish your eye. Smudge proof but not water resistant. Price is Rs. 350/- for 3 gms of product.
Coming to the looks, I think my most preferred way of donning this would to pair it with a thin black line. That helps to accentuate both the bright color and the eye. It can be worn by itself but the black just adds an extra dimension to it which is quite eye-catching. I felt that when I wore it by itself it made my eye appear smaller but pairing it helped to define my eye shape and it helped to accentuate the eye color. I tried pairing it with another colored liner but didn’t like the result as it became OTT. How would you like to pair this bright color?
I did notice something, once it dries it feels like it is hard on the skin (especially when I had the cat eye on) and a little tuggy, you know how sometimes the natural liners feel……and when I went over it with the black one the orange color lifted from the area where I was sort of working in the black. When I try to put it on top of another liner it does not translate out so well how it does on bare skin and looked kinda weird.
I’m excited to see how the teal one will look on me. Have any of you tried it yet? Which one is your fav? Do write in and let me know. Take care – Bye!
