TEXTURE

INGREDIENTS
Isododecane, CI 77007 (Ultramarines), Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Dimethicone, Polyethylene, Synthetic Wax, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), Mica, Polybutene, CI 77499 (Iron Oxides), Silica, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Polyglyceryl-4 Diisostearate/Polyhydroxystearate/Sebacate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, CI 77510 (Ferric Ferrocyanide), Stearalkonium Hectorite, Propylene Carbonate, CI 77491 (Iron Oxides), Tocopherol.
HOW TO USE
For best results always sharpen the eye pencil before use. It is a soft pencil, so it needs to be sharpen regularly in order to hold a sharp point.
MY OPINION
The texture of the pencil is something I do not see quite often. It has a soft and creamy formulation but when you glide it on your eyelids it almost feels like a soft gel. In addition, the point holds up a little bit better than a creamy eye pencil. Another thing I like is that even though the shade 29-My Boyfriend's Jeans is semi-shimmery, I did not experienced any fallouts.
The colour perfomed excellent as expected. With one pass and medium pressure I got a beautiful opaque line of cobalt blue. The colour looks beautiful. And let's not forget about the wide range of shades available! With 36 different colors to choose from, there's a Contour Eye Pencil shade for every occasion and every skin tone.
It is waterproof and holds up all day as Sephora claims. Once applied, the Contour Eye Pencil won't budge, even in hot and humid conditions. It's also smudge-proof, which means you don't have to worry about it creasing or wearing off throughout the day. On the other hand, it was not difficult to wash it off.
However, in my experience I found the prigment to dry down soon after applying to the eyelid. It is waterproof after all. But it is something to consider when you are doing your makeup look. So, if you need to smudge it you have to do it immediately after application.
For removing it from my eyes I used the Micellar Cleansing Water with Vitamin C by Garnier, for which I also wrote a review recently. If you want to read my opinion about it, then click on the link above.
CONCLUSION
In my opinion, the Sephora Collection Contour Eye Pencil is a great choice for anyone looking for a long-wearing, easy-to-apply eyeliner that delivers intense color payoff. Its creamy formula, waterproof and smudge-proof properties, and wide range of shades make it a must-have in any makeup collection. If you're in the market for a new eyeliner, give the Contour Eye Pencil by Sephora Collection a try.
