Milani Shadow Eyez and Liquid Eyes Pencils Review and Swatches

Today I’ve got Milani Naturally Chic Shadow Eyez and Liquid Eyes (both types) pencils for you. After searching through countless stores to buy the LE Milani Shadow Eyez pencils in Tampa and coming up empty handed, I broke down and ordered them from Cherry Culture’s website. I received the Liquid Eye pencils a while back from PR. I figured I would combine them for today’s post. You can see my previous Shadow Eyez review here.

Milani Cosmetics is cruelty-free. They’re available for purchase from CherryCulture.com, Amazon.com, Milani.com, and Drugstore.com as well as in stores such as CVS, Walgreens and Target. Unless you live in Tampa, and then you won’t find them in Walgreens or Target.

Price
$6.99 per pencil (but price varies depending on where you purchase)

Milani Says This About the Shadow Eyez
Get Naturally Chic with these big and blendable 2-in-1 color rich nude pencils that can be used as shadow or liner. Creamy smooth, long-lasting, water-resistant, crease-proof and Paraben-free formula. The next generation of shadows that you sharpen.

Milani Says This About the Liquid Eyes
Sometimes the best choices are the ones you never have to make. With Liquid Eye, there’s no need to sacrifice a smooth, easy application in achieving that bold, liquid look. Color glides on effortlessly and stays in place for smudge-proof, long-lasting wear. Here at Milani, that means up to 24 hours! And because it’s naturally 100% paraben-free, you can be sure your bold look is also a gentle one.

This collection has 5 shades and I received 2.

Extremely smooth eye pencil with the application and feel of a liquid liner. Delivers true color payoff in an all day wear, smudge-proof finish.  Automatic propel tip requires no sharpening.

This collection has 5 shades and I received 2.

Milani Naturally Chic Shadow Eyez Pencils
Almond Cream – peachy beige matte
Sand Dunes – shimmery beige with a hint of gold, almost like champagne
Golden Bronze – golden bronze shimmer
Espresso Line – deep dark chocolate brown matte
Black Ink – carbon black matte

Milani Liquid Eyes Pencils
Perfect Purple – purple with violet micro-shimmer
Graphite – charcoal grey with silver micro-shimmer
Brown – dark cool brown matte
Black – black matte

Just like the original Shadow Eyez, the colors are richly pigmented. They apply easily and once set they don’t budge until you go to take them off. They’re not waterproof, so if you get wet and rub at them they will come off. I love that there are some matte shades! I especially love that there’s a matte black, as it’s a great base for other eyeshadows. I’m honestly puzzled as to why these colors aren’t part of the permanent collection, considering that they’re shades that the majority of people would reach for on a daily basis.

The Liquid Eyes eyeliners are just as pigmeted as the Shadow Eyez eyeshadow pencils. They set in the same fashion and don’t smudge. I really love the Perfect Purple and Graphite, as both are gorgeous. These colors don’t appear to be Limited Edition, either, so you don’t have to rush out to buy them.
