When I visited Maybelline counter a week
back to buy the newly launched “the colossal liner”, I was surprised to see
another new launch! Maybelline kohls have been launched in another 3 shades. I
saw no publicity for them from Maybelline. I guess they are going Aamir Khan way
for publicity i.e. the name is enough! And, I think it is!
I brought home this shade and here are my thoughts on
it:
-
Maybelline the colossal kohl comes packed
in a retractable, bright yellow packaging. The shade name is mentioned on the
product itself.
-
“Smoked silver” is a pretty dark silver
shade with blue undertones. The silver doesn’t looks stark on my warm skin
tone.
-
The texture is moderately smooth.
-
This time too, the pigmentation is
average. And, since this is quite a subtle shade, I require around 3-4 swipes
for it to build full opacity. I read the reviews for “Turquoise” shade
(previously launched) on plethora of blogs and all had a problem with
pigmentation part. It’s the same case this time.
-
The staying power is good. I have worn
this for more than 8 hours. It never got transferred to my crease area. It
smudged only a bit from the inner corners and the intensity had faded only a
bit.
-
It does not stain my eyelids.
Maybelline The Colossal Kohl “Smoked Silver” is a
pretty shade but requires 3-4 swipes to fully show up. What makes me use it continuously
is its impressive staying power on my oily eyelids!
