Givenchy Kohl Couture Waterproof (04), 0.28g

When I found this beautiful color, I immediately decided to buy it! It's a beautiful lilac, and the color lasts well. It's retractable and has a sharpener at the back. As the weather gets warmer, color makeup becomes more fun, so I'm glad I bought it. It's an affordable price for a department store, and the color is what you'd expect from a department store! I'm also considering buying the cobalt blue!

It's a lovely bold color.

I bought the lilac and turquoise colors at an event. I had the turquoise applied to the upper lash line and the lilac applied to the lower mucous membrane. If you apply it to the inner lash line, it will get on your eyebrows over time, making it look like you're wearing colored mascara. It's important not to apply too much pressure. If you apply too much pressure, it will break easily. I recommend it for adding a little extra makeup. The turquoise in particular is cute and summery. It's waterproof, so it doesn't come off at all, but it did smudge on the lower lash line. Therefore, I recommend using it only on the upper lash line. I recommend using a cleanser with strong cleansing power. It remained with Orbis cleanser and Chifure cleanser, but came off easily with Shu Uemura cleanser.

I previously purchased the turquoise shade and was impressed by the beautiful color, so I bought a different shade this time. I thought it might be lighter than the turquoise shade, but it actually blends in nicely without being too noticeable. I also tried applying it under my eyes, and it went on smoothly, so I thought it might work as an eyeshadow. I tried applying a black line over the top of my eyes, and it really tightened my eyes. I'm starting to want to collect the other shades, but unfortunately they're almost all out of stock.

04: Cobalt. It's a vibrant European blue that doesn't seem like an eyeliner. However, it's not navy or turquoise. I was vaguely looking for that color, and when I got it, I knew it was this! I'd bought Chanel and Dior because I was attracted to their pearly finishes, but the price hikes have been tough. I've held off on buying them. Givenchy's unique selection and pricing, especially in this day and age, is so impressive I wanted to share it with you. It applies smoothly and glides on effortlessly, making it stress-free. Maybe it's because I haven't used a matte eyeliner without pearl in a while, but it's so easy to use! However, since it's an accent color, I first used it as a finishing touch on the outer corner of my eye. I started using it as my main eyeliner after purchasing Porjo's Eye Design Palette 07. It's called "vintage denim" and I was looking for a sheer ice blue with a hint of sparkling green pearl, but then I thought, "Oh? The indigo blue on the bottom left would look perfect when paired with cobalt!" It turned out to be a great choice. It's a blue that doesn't stand out against yellowish skin tones; the muted navy can actually make the whites of your eyes look cloudy, so I was lucky to find it. I blend it with indigo blue eyeshadow and add sheer pearl for a light finish, but it really stands out with a subtle addition of highlights or under-eye bags. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who loves denim fashion. I'm looking forward to buying the jade and lilac colors while they're still reasonably priced.
