AQUA RESIST SMOKY SHADOW

MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Resist Smoky Shadow is one stick that covers three jobs — kohl, liner and shadow — in a waterproof formula the brand rates for 24 hours of wear. It is vegan, ophthalmologist-tested, and cleared for use on the waterline, which is unusual for a cream shadow.

What it actually does

• Three tools in one barrel. Use the point as a kohl, draw a line with it, or flatten it out into a full wash of shadow.
• Colour that does not crease. MAKE UP FOR EVER describes the payoff as blendable and creaseless once it has settled.
• Holds up to water, sweat and rubbing. The brand lists it as waterproof, sweat-proof and smudge-proof.
• Sharpener built into the cap so you can bring the tip back to a precise point without a separate tool.
• Suitable for sensitive eyes — it is ophthalmologist-tested and safe to take along the waterline.
• Vegan formula with 24-hour wear claimed by the brand.

How to use

1. Draw the stick straight onto the lid where you want the depth.
2. Work fast — take a flat brush such as the Artisan Brush #226 and soften the edges immediately.
3. Push the colour upward and outward so it fades away into the crease.
4. Move on. You have only a few seconds of blending time before it locks down and stays put until you remove it.
5. For a kohl effect, run the sharpened tip along the waterline instead of the lid.

Questions

Can I really use it on the waterline?

Yes — MAKE UP FOR EVER states it is safe there and has had it tested by an ophthalmologist, which is why it is described as suitable for sensitive eyes.

How much time do I have to blend?

Only seconds. The formula is built to move briefly and then set, so apply to one eye at a time and have your brush ready before you start.

Does it need a separate sharpener?

No. A sharpener is included with the stick so you can keep the tip precise enough for liner work.
