Review: Mikyajy Eye Pencils

Mikyajy (pronounced Mee-kee-ah-jee) is quite a colorful brand when it comes to makeup. One of the products I use from them is a Black I eyeliner and it is the darkest, doesn't smudge and stays put for hours. So, when Mikyajy sent over these eye pencils I was expecting similar results.

I received the eye pencils in two different colors. The Intense Long Lasting Eye Pencil in 01 Dark Forest (black in color) and Marvellous Kohl Eye Pencil in 04 Blue Print (blue in color).

These pencils are part of Mikyajy's 22k collection and they come in a glam golden color.

The black eye pencil is waterproof and glides real smooth on the eyes. I did not find the need to apply two layers of this color as it is quite dark (lives up to it's name of Dark Forest).  

Nobody likes eye makeup that smudges considering the type of climate we have in Dubai (it's practically summer for 9 months every year). Since it is waterproof, I decided to put this pencil through a test.

I took a cotton pad soaked in water and rubbed it twice over the pencil swatch. You can see the results for yourself. You can also see the water reflecting against the flash of the camera. Hardly any smudging. Hurray for stay put eye makeup! No raccoon eyes, either. In case you are wondering, this comes off easily with eye makeup remover. It dissolves quickly so you don't have to keep rubbing your eye area.

The blue eye pencil comes in a brilliant blue. You can easily twist the traditional look of black eyeliner into a blue one.
