You know what really stands out when I read the name of this product? MAGIC. Yes, it really is! Just from that, you know this review i going to be a really positive one. LOL! Seriously, this stuff is aah-mazing! But wait, you're probably thinking WTF is this stuff? D: So, let me explain:
Eye Magic is *supposed* to be a gel that turns all your liners, shadows and pigments into water proof, smudge proof liners. THAT is the main objective... BUT, I didn't think it was magic for that reason, it does that reasonably well but something like Duraline by Inglot looks much better.
What this baby is amazing for, is for being a seriously, super kickass eyeshadow primer!
Yes, at Rs.315, it is the cheapest and the most "magical" primer you will find.
Here are some swatches I did with it:
Not bad right? But wait some more! Yes, I know I sound like a salesperson on TV. -__-
Anyway, the ULTIMATE TEST!
I did my eyes and then spent the next hour and a half scrubbing the bathrooms.. So water, detergent, sweat was everywhere! Lets see what happened then. :D
It didn't crease, spread or disappear after scrubbing LOOS! What other reasons do you need? GO AND BUY IT! LOL!
Even the swatch on my hand still remained after scrubbing.
Even though I say buy it and I will totally buy it again, I'm going to do a pros and cons list:

Even though I say buy it and I will totally buy it again, I'm going to do a pros and cons list:
Pros:
- Good for priming eyes
- No creasing
- Doesn't let make up spread or disappear
- Makes colours more vivid
- Great value for money
- Bottle will last forever, you only need a drop.
Cons:
- Not available everywhere, I've seen it at the Faces store, not at counters, you might if you're lucky.
- Not a good transforming gel. I.e. Not so great at turning your eyeshadows into liners and such.
Verdict: Will definitely buy again if I have to!
If you liked my eye look, it was one I did for a wedding a few days ago, if you want to know how I did it, check out my tutorial. Bye!
