Faces Eye Magic, Transforming Eye Gel Review

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.
"My mommy says I'm special."
Here are some swatches I did with it:

My chalkiest shadows: Right has the Eye magic
Random shadows: Eyemagic on the left

Same as above, rubbed hard with towel.
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

Fresh make up

Make up after laborious house work
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:

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!
