It’s unbelievable! I was utterly surprised. I thought the 12 hour claim would fall flat on its face when I’d put them to test but I was proved wrong. I was expecting the same result as that of NYX Jumbo Pencils BUT these turned out way better in my case. The only thing that could disappoint is the limited number of shades; I really hope Milani expands and brings out some more striking colors to the range.
Coming back to the review. I’ve got two shades. The first one, Aquatic Style is a pearly vibrant turquoise. It’s a stunning color that looks pretty much like Rimmel Exaggerate Eye Definer in Aqua Sparkle. The second, Royal Purple is a vivid matte and it’s my favorite of the two. For some reason, I am always drawn towards matte when it comes to eyes. Basically, these chubby pencils are to be used as creamy eyeshadows but I only use them as eyeliners. If you want to use it as an eyeshadow, I suggest blending it out with your finger as soon as you apply it on the lid before it sets. They’re creamy and glide on buttery smooth but I still don’t see myself using them all over the lid alone; maybe just on the inner corners or the lower lash line. You can apply them straight from the pencil or with an angled brush if you require a slim line.
Both the shades offer rich pigmentation right from the first swipe without ever tugging or pulling however don’t go over-board or it might end up chunky. You do need to build them up a bit if you’re applying them with an angled brush. After a short while they set to a solid line almost close to a gel-eyeliner. Now here comes the BEST part. I’ve tested them with no primer, no setting powder and they stayed on for good five hours without fading. You can well imagine how long they’d last with a good primer underneath. I haven’t put them on for 12 hours but I’m still impressed with the wear. They come off easily with a makeup remover not water as they’re water-proof.
All in all, Milani Shadow Eyez is a hit in my book. If you use them as eyeliners, you’d love them. I am not sure about using them as eyeshadows - neither gonna use them for that purpose - but that’s just a personal preference. Apart from that, I think both these colors are a must-have if you want to experiment with fun and bold looks.
