My Experience With Wet n Wild Idol Eyes Cream Shadow Pencil E135 Graphite:

The eyeshadow comes in a fat and chubby crayon pencil with a transparent cap. The pencil is sharpenable but then that the product wastage is comparatively minimal. Initially I thought that the size of the crayon is little less than others but looking at the shelf life, I will be able to use it up completely. The eyeshadow is travel friendly, easy to apply and fits easily even in your clutch! The shade Graphite, when swatched on the hand looks exactly like the graphite texture with micro-shimmers (not glitters) but the same shade swatched on the eyes looks like greasy dark steel with shimmers. Although both the times there's not a much varied difference in color. The color seems to be a good option for jet black as many people do not prefer to go bold with black.

The pigmentation is good because with just two swipes it gives you an opaque finish. But the color hardly shows up on waterline. The texture is creamy and not greasy which is easy to blend on the eyelids without pulling or tugging. Due to its good texture, there is no question of fall out. The color can be a great base for silver or black eyeshadow and in that way it looks like a bomb! The only issue I have with this product is that it creases on oily eyelids. You have to make sure that the primer is set properly with a pressed powder or else the eyeshadow will crease. The crayon is a boon for the beginners who had just learnt blending eyeshadow as it is very forgiving. The shade stays on my oily eyelids for 1-2 hours and then starts creasing but when the primer is set properly with powder; it stays on my lids for 4-5 hours intact. Looking at the price, it is a great product and a must buy for eyeshadow lovers.

Pros Of Wet n Wild Idol Eyes Cream Shadow Pencil E135 Graphite:

• Travel friendly packaging and fits anywhere.
