[unpaid/sample] My life-long quest for metallic kohls is almost over! I say almost because as yet, the Gen See Cruise Eye Liners don’t include a metallic black or brown which would be all my birthdays come at once. They’re not billed as kohls, but as eye liners. Nonetheless, I am wearing metallic shade, Fiery Copper, on my water line and not only is it staying put, but it’s highly metallic and looks awesome.

There are six shades – the first three are matte: NYC in Jet Black, MILANO in Chocolate Brown and PROVENCE in Lavender Pastel, and three metallics: MIAMI in Teal, BANKIK in Hot Pink, LOS ANGELES Fiery Copper. Gosh, if I could tweak those metallic shades, I would – give me a smouldering khaki, a deep grey, an intense navy, a glimmering black, a shiny conker brown and a deep copper and I will be happy for the rest of my life.

The mattes are lush and lovely, of course, but I want that extra intensity that metallics can bring. I’m impressed with the last but more metallic colours please – there are a million matte eyeliners in the world and hardly any decent metallic water-line liners. They’re £19 each HERE.

Hi Jane
What do you think to the Urban Decay 24 u Glide on Pencils? https://www.urbandecay.co.uk/en_GB/eyes/eyeliner/24-7-glide-on-eye-pencil/122.html
A quick search of your blog history shows you have reviewed a couple in the past. I’ve always found them very long wearing and they come in a variety of shades and finishes (including metallic).
agreed – they’re really good.
Gosh make metallic eyeliners (Sky Blue is one of my favourites – it’s a perfect dupe for the long discontinued Urban Decay Abyss, which I loved), and so do Flormar (Ultra Blue is a proper 80s electric blue).
I think what I’m really looking for is colours like Victoria Beckham’s gold that has black at the base of it so you still get a kind of smoulder. A lot of these electric shades don’t have black at the back so you get quite a stark look – they’re just a bit too bright without the tempering of black.
Kiko have some amazing metallic and matt eyeliner shades, I think you’d really like them.
thank you – will take a look x
