I guess I took a hiatus for a bit too Long and I felt so guilty. So now that I’m back, I can’t wait to share with you my thoughts on this newly launch product from Fenty Beauty. When they first launch this thing, I got skeptical. I got a lot of questions such as:
1. Longwear of the pencils
2. Will it smudge?
3. If I sweat, will it move?
4. Is it as lasting like my favourite Nudestix?
5. Can I smudge it like Nudestix before it dries down and stays there throughout?
Well, now, let’s see the product.
Fenty Beauty launch this flypencil and came up with 20 shades. However, Singapore’s Sephora only brings in 13 shades in total. Let me show you the full range of the product.
I have to say I’m tempted to get the full range but I didn’t want to be overly eager in case they didn’t meet my expectations. I end up picking shade Purple Stuff and She A Problem. I won’t lie. I tested out almost all the shade in Sephora that is available and I started falling in love. As mentioned, Fenty’s flypencil comes out with 20 shades with a selection of matte, shimmer, metallic and glitter shades. They are highly pigmented and they pack a punch of pigment just with one swipe on your skin. They don’t tug on your skin or feels dry at all.
The flypencil comes in a triangular pencil which makes it easier to control (Purely my preference). It is not a retractable pencil I should say. It is the sort of pencil when you need more product, you twist the pencil and the product will come out but there is no way for you to push the product back in into the pencil if you twist it more than needed. That’s just something I feel that you should know in case if you’re the type of person who like to release a lil too much of the product than needed.
The flypencil glides smoothly and it doesn’t feel tug to your skin at all. It feels buttery when it glides on my skin and you have a few seconds to smudge it before it stays budge-proof. I would say this product is smudge-proof, budge-proof and water-resistant (provided you don’t rub it forcefully). Depending on my mood, at times I love to smudge it and on other days, I love having it as an eyeliner with the harsh line.
When comparing it to Nudestix Magnetic Luminous Eye Color, I would say that there’s only a slight difference to it which is the shade range. Nudestix have much lesser shade range as compared to Fenty. Nudestix have a range of mostly gold based and greyish shades while Fenty is more on those bold colours which I’ve been waiting for any brands to come up with. Also, Nudestix is on a price range of $41 SGD while Fenty is selling at $33 SGD. I would conclude that Fenty is selling way cheaper. This only means I SHOULD GET THE FULL RANGES OF SHADES 😈
Below is one of the days that I tested out. I’ve been using it daily ever since I bought it earlier last week. I am obsessed with it I would say.
As you can see from the photo above, they are taken on the same day, just different timing. I had it on since 7.30am when I head to work and 11.30pm when I came back from meet up with friends. When you zoom in and take a closer look, it still looks the same throughout the whole day. That’s how amazing this Flypencil is! Totally budge-proof and sweat-proof too I would say. Just as Long as you don’t start crying, as I never test them with tears before 😅
Above picture is one of the other examples of how I loved using this flypencil. With the flypencil, you smudge it with smudge brush to smudge the harsh lines. After that, taking a maroon mix with brown eyeshadow, smudge it on the liner to create that smudged line. Last step is to clean the mess with concealer and we are good! 👌🏼
With that, I shall end this post here.
Catch me on my next post! 💖
