The Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Collection set features five travel sized Aqua Eyes liners that comes in a neat tin container for $35. This is a great starter set for anyone looking to try the Aqua Eyes liners. Don't let the travel size fool you, last a long time.
Aqua Eyes liners are incredibly smooth with good staying power. Quick thoughts on the shades and swatches below:
- 0L - Black: Black is always handy to have
- 21L - Dark grey: A nice grey with a touch of shimmer to it
- 12L - Blue with green highlights: A pretty blue, the most vibrant shade in the set
- 4L - Shimmering plum: This plum isn't as shimmery as I would have liked. Plums are difficult to work with, sometimes it'll appear bruise like
- 23L - Champagne: A Lovely highlight shade with pearl like effect. A good alternative to white which may appear too drastic at times
It was interesting to see that the shades have different levels of staying power. When I tried removing them with makeup remover the black shade came off first and the blue shade was the most resilient.
Do you have a favorite color from the set? I'm loving the Champagne!
You can purchase the set from Sephora

ReplyDeleteI am waiting for mine now. But I am a bit upset to hear that black comes off first.

I want this set :) I won't save up for it though but if I see it one day and decide to pick it up I will.. it doesn't look too special, but I won't ever finish the full size of the colored ones so maybe this is better?
