Formula Overview
$30.00/0.4 oz. - $75.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "16-hour" wear and "40 seconds" of playtime "before setting to a budge-proof, waterproof and fade resistant finish." The brand also advised that if layered, the time it takes to set will be longer. As you might expect, the texture of the pencils was quite creamy and emollient, though I was surprised it didn't want to migrate as it was setting.
If you love being able to smudge or blow out your eyeliner, then this formula could be an excellent option. I didn't feel like I had to smudge or really "wait" before moving onto other areas of my makeup or just moving on with my day, though, despite it having a longer setting time.
The shade range was quite pigmented in a single layer, and the creaminess made the pencils comfortable to work with in the lid and lash line without pulling or tugging. They wore well for 10 hours on me before fading/thinning with about half the product still visible after 16 hours of wear.

I really love the application of these pencils as they do not tug on my eyes at all. I don’t find that they completely set for me and am just wondering why? I know other’s have said they completely set down and do not budge. I get some transfer to my lower lash line and since I mostly tight line, I was hoping they wouldn’t transfer. I have hooded eyes so I don’t use liner above my lash line unless I am going to smudge it out. I do love the colors and hope that she comes out with more shades. The Renaissance Gold is my favorite and I do mostly smudge it out.
These look very promising! I wonder how they compare to my favorite pencil eyeliners ever, Victoria Beckham’s Satin Kajal.
Even though I would never use matte eye pencils, these are really good quality.
Ground Coffee looks like the perfect smudged liner to use in conjunction with the eventual release of Huda’s yearly BIG palette, Pretty Grunge. As much as I look forward to getting it, I completely respect her reasons for why she’s holding off for now.
