Sisley Phyto-Khol Star N Matte (No.2 Matte Tonka)

I started using it after hearing about it from a friend who is a high-ranking official in Russia! The colors are so beautiful and really lift my spirits. This brand is unusual for makeup as it varies from country to country, but the colors are gorgeous and very French, which I really like!

I received this as a gift. I love Sisley, but this price tag is a bit steep for an eyeliner, so I bought this one. It comes in a gorgeous gold package with a sharpener on the other side. It applies well. It's long-lasting, of course, and the color is a unique, exquisite shade of blue and gray. While there are plenty of burgundy and reddish shades out there, this one feels very fresh. The color makes a surprising, positive impact. It creates a mysterious, languid, yet cool impression. The tip is thick, but other reviews say it quickly becomes blunt, so I'm keeping it thick and planning to use it to line and outline my lips. Lip pencils I buy myself also wear out quickly, and because they're pencils, they need to be sharpened before they can be used, so they wear out quickly. But this one is a retractable pencil, so that's fine (lol). It doesn't come off at all while I'm wearing makeup, but it comes off easily with a point makeup remover. I've deducted two stars due to the thick core and cost-effectiveness, but I personally love it because it makes me feel gorgeous and gives me a different look than usual. This is a must-try for anyone who can afford to spend money on cosmetics or who might be able to ask for a gift.

The core is soft and the color is beautiful. It's easy to blend and gives a natural look. I have sensitive eyes, but this didn't make them red or itchy at all.

I'm using No. 4. It's a whitish gray with a hint of blue, and it's very pigmented. I bought it later after an artist recommended it to me when I went to buy foundation. Not only is the color lovely, but it's also incredibly soft and gentle on the skin. Recently, many pencils have a soft texture, but that can make it difficult to draw a thin line as desired... but this one allows me to draw the crease to the outer corner of my eye as desired, is easy to fill in between my lashes, and is very durable, so I can use it with confidence even on days when I tend to tear up easily. I also like that it's a retractable type, and so far it hasn't broken. I touched up other colors, and the overall pigmentation was good, and the glitter version was cute, so I'd like to try the glitter version next time.

No. 4 Matte Graphite. This versatile gray eyeliner has the chic feel you'd expect from a French brand. The beautiful bluish gray color and velvety texture make the whites of your eyes appear clear, which is one of the reasons I love it. Curiously, the gray nuance seemed to change when I lined it on the back of my hand compared to when I applied it to my eyes. The shade may look different on different people. I also liked the soft application that doesn't strain the eyelids and the fact that it doesn't smudge. No. 5 Matte Peacock, which a senior makeup artist recommended to me, was a lovely color that's typical of Sisley, and I'm looking forward to collecting more Phytocol Stars. Currently, I enjoy pairing matte gray eyeliner with warm eyeshadows, like coral and orange, which have a subtle shimmer.
