Hello everyone! I'm April♥ and welcome to my new blog!!
I'll be making makeup/product reviews, tutorials, and healthy skin care routines~ so stay tuned!....first off let's review Play Pencil 101 by Etude House!
These super adorable, multi-functional pencils have been released by Etude House for some time now with limited edition colors here and there. With over 50+ colors, these lovely items can be used as eyeliner, eyebrows, eyeshadow, lipstick, blush, concealer, and so much more.
I want all, I want! (✿╹◡╹)
It's a really nice chart that gives you an idea of it's texture, color, and usages. I think this is one of the most accurate color charts I've seen, where the real life color is basically the same.
Heres some of the colors I got!
They come in these cute, long tubular boxes with it's color matching the box.
Price: $5-12
It really depends on where you buy it. Koreadepart/TesterKorea/Ebay are all relatively cheaper.
Texture: Creamy, smooth, and easy to put on.
The pigment is very nice and the color last for 10+ hours. It doesn't smudge easy which is one of the best qualities of this product.
Application: It's very gentle and very easy to blend.
It can be used for all areas of the face, but theres about ~30 seconds of flexibility time to blend it (before it dries and stays put)
The colors I got where: 1, 5, 8, 12, 15, 22, 25, 28, 46, 48, 50
All the swatches on my arm in natural daylight. See how they're all really soft in color and all have a matte finish. Not super extreme in colors and nor really bright or fake.
Colors under flash:
So if you're going out to party or other special night occasions, the colors won't be crazy and actually looks nice under flash.
Here are the individual swatches separated by color tones:
From left to right: 46, 48, 50, 1
46: This works better as a eyeshadow. Its a light golden-brown with a shimmery feel. I like to use it for my lids and 3/4 of my outer bottom line.
48: This could work as both a eyeliner and and eyeshadow. It's meant to be a glitter base but its really subtle- making it work well with other glitter and matte colors.
50: My favorite eyeliner! It's a very natural, subtle brown and looks great with any light/pink shadows.
1: Perfect as an eyeliner or water-liner! It has a deep black shadowy feel but doesn't smudge easily.
From left to right: 22, 25, 12, 15, 28
22: Really pretty lip color! Its a deep pink/red tone and makes the lip stand out. It would be too vibrant for an eyeshadow and blush.
25: My personal favorite. It works as a lip color, blush, and eyeshadow. Although the color is bright, the more you blend the color, the softer it is- which is why it makes it well-rounded.
12: Bright red with a hint of a orange tone. Great lip color- but it's a little bright so I would use it as a lip color only.
15: I personally think this works better as a blush more than anything else. The color doesn't really work as an eyeshadow and is too creamy and light for a lip color.
28: A light pink thats most suitable as an eyeshadow. Complements 48 really well.
From left to right: 5, 8
5: Love, love, love this for an under eye shimmer! Its great for the inner aegyo sal and in my opinion, really makes a difference.
8: Great under eye concealer or face/spot concealer. I also use this to line my lips to give it make my lip color stand out more and define my lip shape.
Overall Thoughts:
This is honestly such a great all-in-one product. I know it's a headache choosing the colors but its great to start out with some basics (you can't go wrong) such as brown, black, or pink. They're very affordable and lasts for a long time so all in all I give it a 5★.
Here's a makeup I did using 22, 25, 1, 5, 8, 48, and 50
I used 25 on the inner 1/4 of my eyelids and made a soft pink, and used 25 on the outer 3/4.
#1 for the eyeliner and winged it out a little bit, and then used #50 for the bottom liner.
#5 for inner 3/4 of my eyelids, and #8 under the aegyosal to create a brighter eye area (which makes a big difference)
mixing #48 and #50 for eyebrows to create a more natural brown to match my hair
Lastly #8 to line my lips and using #22 as a lip color.
But Pony is probably my biggest inspiration to even use these play pencils and here are some of her looks to get a different feel ^_^
Thank you all for reading through and I hope you all enjoyed my review/tutorial!! ^_^
