These days there’s so much makeup to choose from and smaller makeup companies opening everywhere. It’s like if you went to your favorite makeup store once a week, you’d find something new and exciting. From foundation, a new mascara, and eye palette or even a new highlighter, it’s so hard to choose just one. For me I get super excited and need to try out the new colors. But amongst all the makeup that comes out, you need to find something that is just for you. You may like everything you see that you have to be a little selective and see what will fit into your wardrobe of makeup if you have something like that ‘cause as a makeup junkie I know I do!
My black eyeliner was finished, so I was on the hunt for a new pencil when I happened to see a limited edition Shu Uemura and which featured the super Mario brothers! I was so excited and I think a part of me was nostalgic when I purchased this product. I literally was hearing the theme song of the video game in my head. It is very interesting how something like a makeup collection can make you feel and act like a kid again.
But this article is not me as a kid playing super Mario brothers, it’s about the trend these days and that trend is about being nostalgic and fairy tales. These days you can look like an 80’s star or look like a fantasy fairy princess and wear all the highlighter or glitter you want. In this article I will be reviewing the eyeliner pencil.
Limited edition Shu Uemura black eye pencil
I know it’s but just an eye pencil like any other eye pencil but when it’s part of super Mario brothers collection and if you remember yourself when you’re playing the game as a kid and you hear the theme song to it, it’s obviously calling out your name. Plus it was a chance to finally you something from this line that I’ve heard great things about.
This eyeliner is not only an eyeliner but can be used as an eye shadow as well. It is very soft in texture but if you’re using as an eye shadow be quick to smudge it as it sets pretty quickly. It comes in four different colors, pink, orange, brown and the one I picked black.
For $28.00 the package it came in was not what I expected as it was only in a plastic bag like package. But the actual pencil was all black embossed with the flowers that were in the game that when collected you grew. (at least that’s what I think it did) you can correct me if I’m wrong about this as I haven’t played this game in such a long time The actual pencil when you used it, glided on smoothly and the pigments in the pencil are great as they were bold in color.
I do have oily eyelids, but this pencil stayed on all day and did not smudge at all. Wearing it on top of eyeshadows, it did not bleed into the colors and wearing it on the bottom of my eye it did not smudge. You can get a soft winged look, but for sharper lines definitely use a liquid or sharper eye pencil as this one can be used as an eye shadow, the lines are very soft for an everyday look which is exactly what I’m looking for.
For me, I don’t wear a lot of eye makeup except for my mascara and eyeliner. So picking out a great eyeliner that stays on all day and dozens smudge is exactly what I’m looking for. But however you pick your next makeup item, just be sure you’re doing it because you absolutely love it or can’t live without it or your nostalgic like me. Have a good day my beauties!
