CLIO Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner review




I remembered the time colored pencils were a thing in the Blogosphere.  Everyone wanted the most colorful liners!  I remembered hoarding from brands like NYX, Urban Decay (247) then Make Up For Ever!

The love for colored liners died down for the past years and I found myself opting for the subtle ones --- blacks, browns, grays and beige!  

Then the Korean craze arrived our shores and the colors are coming back!  As much as I used to love colored liners, I feel most of them don't last and tends to smudge!  So thankfully, I found an alternative!  The brand that came from where else?  K-pop land!  The CLIO Gelpresso liners are not only eyeliner pencil pens --- they are GEL in a Pencil Liner format!

I got 5 shades to try, they are mostly shimmery because --- ahmm.... K-POP?

Let's talk about the packaging, I LOVE the packaging of these pencils!  One of the cutest to date!  Let me tell you why.

The cap looks exactly like a sharpened eyeliner pencil!  I originally thought there wasn't any cap and the pencil was exposed!

On the opposite side is the smudger brush.  I like how these pencils can be used as eyeshadows (not just eyeliner pencil).  The smudger brush will be a helpful tool to blur out harsh lines.

Then, there's a cute secret!  A sharpener to help sharpen the tip of your gel liner pencil.  By the way, did I mention it's retractable?

Let's talk about the product itself.  Does it work?

Firstly, the pencil can stay put on oily lids for hours without smudging.  It even works on the lower lashline!  The only thing though is that, it COULD FADE when you have droopy eyelid.  Though the shades are shimmery, the glitters aren't big so it is very subtle and natural to look at.

The pencil glides on pretty smoothly, I like the pigmentation on how true to the color from tube to your eyes!  

Swatches

I personally love to use these as a subtle eyeshadow on the upper eyelid and use the Pink Shine on the waterline because it can brighten up my eyes like no other!

I can easily create Korean-style "fluffy eyes" using these products.  I just wish they come in more MATTE shades, but if that's the case, it's not K-Pop beauty then!
