Lakme Fantasy Shimmer Eyeliner Glimmer Blue Review, Swatches & Eye Makeup
Lakme Fantasy Shimmer Eyeliner Glimmer Blue Review & Swatches
Hello Girlies,
I’m reviewing an eye makeup product after a really long time it seems. More than eyeshadows, I love hoarding on eye liners and especially colored liners. Today, I’m going to review one of my favorite blue eyeliners- Lakme Fantasy Shimmer Liner in Glimmer Blue.
Product Description
Accentuate the natural beauty of your eyes with Lakme Fantasy Shimmer Liner. This gel based liner is infused with micro fine glitter particles that give your eyes stunning shimmering look without smudging and spreading. It comes with a thin long brush that allows smooth application.
Price: Rs 300 for 3.5ml
Can be bought online at BeautyKafe
Packaging
Lakme Shimmer Liner comes in tiny plastic bottle with a gold metallic cap. You can easily make out the color incase you own more than one of these. With eye liner my main concern is the brush. No matter how good the product might be but if the applicator isn’t any good then I barely end up using it. The Lakme Shimmer Liner has a fine tip which is stiff yet flexible enough to draw the thinnest of lines cleanly. Lakme sure does a great job with with its liners and their applicators!
Shade
Lakme Shimmer Liner in Glimmer Blue is a mid toned blue with fine blue and silver shimmer. The shimmer isn’t really that visible and tends to give more of a metallic sheen. Its a great eeyliner to be used for parties or a night out and will instantly jazz up your makeup and bring attention to your eyes 😀 I love wearing such colored liners over the whole eyeshadow routine whenever I’m in a hurry.
Texture
The Shimmer Liner has a slightly runny texture and takes a bit of time to dry. If you’re not comfortable with liquid liners and tend to blink you eyes alot after instantly applying it then this might be an issue for you. Upon drying the liner is smudge proof but not waterproof. This might be a con as well a pro for those who hate removing waterproof eyeliners!
Pigmentation
Lakme Glimmer Blue is decently pigmented and shows up well in 2 swipes. The first swipe is a little patchy and you will need to go over the line once more to get an opaque more even finish. Most shimmer/glitter liners I’ve used lack highly in pigmentation so I was quite impressed with the Lakme Shimmer Liner!
Staying Power
It has a decent wear time and lasts upto 6 hours after which it starts flaking. It does survive hot and humid weather but you will surely need to touch it up after 6 hours which is a bit of a bummer. Though, for the price I guess I wouldn’t mind touching up my liner!
Pros
1) A beautiful blue liner with a metallic sheen
2) Perfect for parties or a night out
3) Well pigmented and gives an opaque finish in 2 swipes
4) Smudge proof
5) Decent staying power
6) Comes with a great brush for application
7) Easy on the pocket!
Cons
1) Takes a bit of time to dry
2) It isn’t waterproof and starts flaking after 5-6 hours
HBM Rating
HBM Recommendation: Lakme Shimmer Liner in Glimmer Blue is gorgeous metallic blue which looks amazing on the eyes. It is well pigmented and smudge proof. I personally love the brush as it makes application a breeze. The liner does take a little longer to dry and tends to flake after awhile but I think its a great option for the price!
