Review: Tonymoly Backstage Gel Eyeliner in #8 Khaki Black

Hello lovelies!

I’m finally back with another review for you! Today I wanna talk about one of the products that a got on the opening of the official TonyMoly shop in Rostov. I think I talk about TonyMoly products pretty often :D But I swear, I have many products of others brands to review :D


Description

“This gel eyeliner applies smoothly on the skin and does not smudge. A waterproof film formed on the skin increases the lasting of makeup.”



The color payoff is great, there over 15 colors I believe:




There are also limited edition colors:



#6 Sweet Pink
#7 Turkey Blue
#9 Orange Pop
#10 Yellow Pop


Gel liner. I have never got any gel liner in my life before this one, so I didn’t know what to expect when I got it. And I still don’t really know if I like this type of eyeliners :D Maybe I should try another ones to compare but now I just wanna tell you my thoughts.

Packaging





I think TM was the first band that made this kind of…  jar… I don’t know how to name it :D It is very handy and good for traveling coz the brush is included and if it is dirty it is inside the jar and you don’t need to worry about any dirt. But OH MY GOD it is sooo hard to store with this “tip”. You can not put anything on top or it is too high to keep it in drawers. Hopefully I have very deep drawers haha




The brush can be twisted up and it adds 1.5 cm to the length! Handy, right? ^^ Surprisingly, the brush isn’t bad. Quality is good, it doesn’t lose hair after washing and takes the product well. But some hair on the edges can look to the different directions lol





Color


I have mine in #8 Khaki Black. It is a dark brown color with lots of gold shimmer (glitter?). I freaking love the color, believe me, it looks incredibly on eyes! Especially when these little gold things catch the sunlight… Sparkle sparkle sparkle!! Don’t think I’m a crazy sparkle lover :D It just looks awesome…

Texture


It seems a little bit chunky and applies not very well. The consistency definitely is not “gelly”. This is very pigmented product so you can draw a very intense line easily.







The eyeliner smudges very easily. Maybe because I’m a loser or something else but every time when I read reviews on this product (other colors) and see “it is smudgeproof, waterproof and blah blah blah” I am just “meah?! What the fuck”. So yes, it is waterproof if it means that the eyeliner doesn’t slip off after the splash of water. But if you rub it just A TINY LITTLE BIT hello panda yes T.T I have oily eyelids and if I don’t touch my eyes the entire day late at night it is still on my eyes. But without the wing and with lots of mess. I know, I’m a loser :D

Swatches





Overall

5/10 

I’m not a big fun of this eyeliner. It smudges and doesn’t stay on very long. So I won’t repurchase it.

Where to buy


I got mine in official store but you can buy it in any online shops, for example Cosmetic-Love, ibuybeaty or Jolse

Thanks for reading and

  2. The colour is really pretty! I shy away from anything that isn't black or brown eyeliner, but this gold khaki shade is really compelling me. Too bad it isn't as "Waterproof" or "smudge proof" as other reviews say.

    Nice to meet you Alexandra, I'm Sandy from Beautifan! I hope we can get along ^___^
    Just followed you, I was wondering if you could follow back?

    Have a lovely day :-)

    Mine smudges too. i try to like this product but i can't. too bad, i just can't find the hype about it out there goes the same with me. i purchased the pearl brown shade. i wonder if the other shades beside black or brown that aren't smudge-proof or that our oily lid that kind of sucks><

    guess that our oily lid has same problem with eyeliner, would you recommend eyeliner that works best in oily lid?
