Streetwear Eye Definer in Shade 08 Black Review, Swatch & EOTD

Streetwear Eye Definer in Shade 08 Black Review, Swatch & EOTD

by Chand


Hello Everyone!
There is no end for my greed for eyeliners, colored or black, I love them all. Street Wear Eye Definer in Black shade is the latest entry into my stash. Move on to the complete review to know about it better.





What does the Streetwear Eye Definer in Shade 08 Black Claims:
An eye-definer in that lovely tone you were looking for, this pencil style eye liner provides great smudge-free wear that stays on for a long time.

  • Smooth application eye definer
  • Delectable colouring that stays for a long time
  • Pencil styling, comes with a top


Price & Quantity: Rs.165 for 1.14 g


Shade: 08 Black


Shelf Life: 18 months


My Experience with Streetwear Eye Definer in Shade 08 Black:


Packaging: The usual styled pencil made of wood and a black colored pencil tip. The whole pencil is colored silver with details printed in black. There is a portion at the end of the pencil colored in black, I guess to indicate that the eyeliner is black too. The pencil has a clear see-through plastic cap to cover the open end of the pencil.



Colour, Texture and Staying Power:
The color of this eye definer is black as mentioned in the title before, but however it is not the exact black that any one would want. It is a sort of faded black. This eye definer does not give that heavy jet black around the eyes, I do not think that my eyes catch any attention with this eye definer.
               The texture of this eye definer is smooth, but not creamy enough to give the color in one shot. It glides well on the lash line (I have tried it only on my upper lash line). The pencil is not hard on the sensitive skin of the eyes. Repeated swipes on the lash line did not hurt my eye lid.
            Staying power is just about 4 hours with some smudging observed on my eye lid. I usually apply my daily cream on my eyes before using any eye product. I believe it is because of the cream, this eye definer smudged on my eyelid. Else, this product is not creamy enough to get smudged.

How it works: Drawing a line with this pencil around the eyes is just very simple and easy. No much talent required as it will not go around messing the look. But it requires quite a few swipes. After about 4-5 swipes on the lash line there is some amount of black visible, But by then my application turns out to be real thick and broad. And then I will have to again shape the line I drew, which will subsequently make my eyeliner more thick. Well, sometimes I like this brad thick eye liner look when I am in no make up mood for my eyes. No tugging or clumping of the product on the lash line.
       It is easily washed with plain water, a little rub with the fingers and it is gone. But if at all it gets into the eyes it stings very badly. I had this experience. It pricked for about 4-5 minutes. I have not come across any eye product which behaves so badly on the eyes. Street Wear Eye Definer looses all its points here.

Blush Blush...

Having been a fan of making up my eyes for effects ranging from sheer drama to pure innocence, I decided to experiment with other parts of my face... Now you see I have been gifted with really thin lips and so experimenting with them isn't really a welcoming idea to me. So I zeroed in on BLUSH. Yes yes yes blush that makes you look "oh so fresh", "oh so rosy", "have you just been pinched" pink... And it sure did turn out to be a good idea :D

I am not ashamed to say that I did try being cheap and initially used a pink eye shadow as blush. And voila! It turned out to be a success. BLUSH actually suited me! So I have finally gone ahead and have bought a propah blush for myself. It is STREET WEAR Smoothwear blush, the shade being "Pink Blossom". I bought it for Rs.190/-. It is turning out to be pretty ok, nothing very noteworthy, well what did I really expect out of Rs.190? It imparts a pink flush to my cheek and that's about it! Oh but yes, it is extremely long stay :)

The brush applicator that comes with it is now worth mentioning. It's horrible! It's a plastic flat brush which is extremely rude to my skin and so I have been forced to use a proper blush brush... I like the sound of it! The BLUSH BRUSH!

How do I apply it? Well.. All I do is make a fish face and apply the blush to my cheek bone all the way up to the corner of my face.

I plan to go blush shopping today to check if I can get my hands on some "ooh" "aah" inducing blush :)
Wish me luck! ;)
