Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil - #604 Up & Down Tan 1.41G

The makeup pencil is a great concept for a multiuse product. I was really excited to try it! I received the Endless Cacao shade, but with my olive complection and purpleish lips, the color was a muted and cool brown. On my lips as a liner, it looked cute but subtle. I tried it as an eyeliner but the color didn't contrast my skin enough to be noticeable. It is well pigmented, but probably just not the right color for me specifically. The pencil tip did crumble as i was lining my lips which was a little dissappointing because that means it needs to probably be sharpened often but it didnt come with a sharpener. I also found the formula to be dry like eyeshadow not creamy like eyeliner or lip liner. It was very interesting to use because the texture is good for ... MoreThe makeup pencil is a great concept for a multiuse product. I was really excited to try it!

It was very interesting to use because the texture is good for precision, but the product has a little room for improvement... maybe if it was retractable with a built in sharpener it would be easier to use and crumbling would be less of an issue. I kinda would recommend u choose a color better suited for your complextion than i did, or to just opt for a creamier more usable product. My go to of this kind of product was 80% cheaper than this so that also factors into my opinion. Other brands only charge about $6 for a eye/lipliner while make up for ever is charging $30...seems steep for the quality of the product...

Honestly, this box generously sponsored by Influenster and Makeup Forever, in exchange for my honest review, could not have come at a better time. It came a few days before my birthday and it contained a full sized black eyeliner, something I regularly use, that I was already running low on. Perfect timing! Plus, with the festivities of my birthday, Halloween, and my anniversary, I had even more extra opportunities to wear note my feedback of this eyeliner. As with the few other Makeup Forever products I’ve tried, the quality is very good, the black colour is very nicely pigmented, as I have shown in the attached photos in different lighting, and it did not bother my sensitive, contact lens wearing eyes at all. The pencil is quite soft, and super blendable.

The pencil is quite soft, and super blendable. Very easy to work with. I did take one star off because it did wear off a bit after about 8-10 hours of wear, but that was during Florida heat, while running around Disney Springs all day. Since I was reviewing the product, I did not stop and do touch ups, as I normally would. So all, in all, that’s quite good! I did cry at one point, and it smudged a bit, naturally, but not really too badly, considering. Will I buy this product again? Definitely! I want to try this in a green and a purple colour next.

So I tried the JLO lip look from her YouTube tutorial today and I honestly love it but while I’m at it let’s review these three items, make it four…… For reference my lips are in pretty decent condition considering the harsh cold I’ve suddenly been experiencing here in CT, they are a little dry but not at all cracked or peeling. I did not prep my lips prior to the application for the purpose of seeing how it sits alone. I have normal skin that is just a little dry in the winter months and the only other product I am utilizing here is my concealer. I have light neutral skin and very heavy hereditary dark under eye circles. Product One 👁️: URBAN DECAY Stay Naked Correcting Concealer in Color: 40CP - light-medium cool with a rosy undertone.

I have normal skin that is just a little dry in the winter months and the only other product I am utilizing here is my concealer. I have light neutral skin and very heavy hereditary dark under eye circles. Product One 👁️: URBAN DECAY Stay Naked Correcting Concealer in Color: 40CP - light-medium cool with a rosy undertone. This is a great concealer, I have extremely sensitive skin and eyes, my eyes water often, and as I mentioned before I have really dark circles. This concealer does not budge when my eyes tear up, it does not cause irritation, it isn’t drying or cakey, it doesn’t crease, it retains a more natural texture and offers great coverage that is long lasting. It is creamy and spreads easily, and has no fragrance, I highly recommend giving it a try. Product Two ✏️: Makeup Forever Lip Liner in 508 Totally taupe, this is a very creamy lip liner with excellent coverage and color! Applying it heavily or more lightly will render a difference in shade. A brush will feather and blend the color out just as long as you do it while applying because once it dries, it sets. It is long lasting and truly doesn’t fade out in the way that many of my other liners would; in fact I have not found one comparable. Product Three four 👄: Fenty Gloss Bomb Cream in 03 Honey Waffle 04 Cookie Jar: these colors are gorgeous, I applied the cookie Jar color all over my lip and the honey waffle color in the center, Jlo mentions in her video that she applies the shade fenty glow as well when she is more pale in complexion (I have not tried this shade considering this is the lightest I’ll get and I get pretty dark in the summer with just the sun.). This is not resistant to ANYTHING! It transfers, but if you love a good gloss it shouldn’t be a problem. It is glowy, smooth, and ridiculously hydrating…..your lips will look immaculate, you lips will look full, and healthy, and thank you.

Hey everyone! Today, I'm super excited to share with you my thoughts on the Makeup Forever Artist Color Pencil. This pencil has been an absolute game changer in my makeup routine. First off, there's a shade for every look. I've been using it for a few weeks now and I'm impressed with its versatility, and decided to share my first use of it. Whether I'm lining my eyes, defining my brows, or adding a pop of color to my lips, this pencil does it all. The creamy formula glides on smoothly without tugging and the pigment... wow, it's rich and long-lasting! What I really love is how blendable it is, making it perfect for creating subtle looks. And it stays put all day, no smudging or fading. For those of you looking for a multi-use, high-quality makeup pencil, I can't ... MoreHey everyone!

(Incentivized) I was so happy to be receiving my very first Voxbox from Influenster and Makeup Forever of the artist color pencil in up and down tan! I’m so glad I received the color I did because not only did it look great as a lip liner but it also worked as a full-on lip color as well if you shade in your lips completely which is super easy because the formula is super rich and creamy which I love. One more trick is you can also use it as an eye color! I did it and it looks amazingly different but beautiful, I will be doing my eyes like this in the future and I will be repurchasing this artist color pencil from Makeup Forever. If looking for a great pencil that doesn’t tug and is super long wearing.. look no further!!

If looking for a great pencil that doesn’t tug and is super long wearing.. look no further!! This pencil is beautiful, highly pigmented, long wearing, doesn’t dry out, you literally can’t beat this pencil it’s worth every penny. Oh my swatches are Stripdown by Mac on the left,then Up and down tan by Makeup Forever, and then on right is Nyx matte lipliner in sandstorm, for color comparison. I feel like this Up and Down tan is a staple because it goes with so many lip colors and looks good alone or with just gloss. Go get your color today and feel like a real artist!

I received this product for free from Influenster in exchange for my review. As someone who prefers liquid eyeliner, I was quite surprised by its performance. Firstly, the pencil is made of very durable wood and it's super easy to use. I wanted to try an eyeliner color, so Whatever Black #100 was the obvious choice. It's typical of most new pencils by providing a very precise tip, which made it very simple to apply. It glides fairly well without the need to apply much pressure. Unlike most pencils that require a few touch-ups before creating my preferred look, I only had to apply it one time. Considering I always have a battle with loose skin around my eyes, this was definitely a Win Win! It also does a decent job of staying put without smudging throughout the day. ... MoreI received this product for free from Influenster in exchange for my review.

Although liquid eyeliner will always be my go-to, I will definitely continue to use it, especially when I'm rushed for time. Considering how well I liked it, I'm very interested in a few other colors, particularly lip liners. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

A+

The best multipurpose liner.Wherever Walnut looks gorgeous as a lip liner and blush and blends smoothly! The formula is buttery, yet long-lasting.If your lips are more on the mauvy side like me, don’t sleep on Wherever Walnut. It has the perfect undertone whereas Anywhere Caffeine looks fake on me, too orangey.As I have fair skin with pink undertones, lip liners and lipsticks that are often advertised as nudes (think of Charlotte Tilbury) don’t suit my natural lip color because they have a warm undertone. It is also the case with bronzers. The liner may seen a bit intense in the picture, but when you compare Anywhere Caffeine and Wherever Walnut in real life, there is no real difference in pigmentation except the undertone.Don’t buy into the Anywhere Caffeine ... MoreThe best multipurpose liner.Wherever Walnut looks gorgeous as a lip liner and blush and blends smoothly!

Incredibly versatile

I received this product for free through Influenster and Make Up For Ever in exchange for my honest review.This pencil is incredibly versatile and is perfect for travelling or minimizing your makeup routine. I primarily use it as an eyeliner, but it could also work as a cream eyeshadow, lip liner, lip color, or contour. It could even be an eyebrow pencil if you set it with powder, even with my dark hair. If applied lightly, it's a great neutral color for defining the aegyosal.The product is very creamy, but not enough for the tip to break when applying. There's plenty of time to smudge or blend out the product before it starts setting down. It's not drying, but that means it won't be super long-lasting if your skin leans toward oily. I like that it's a traditional ... MoreI received this product for free through Influenster and Make Up For Ever in exchange for my honest review.This pencil is incredibly versatile and is perfect for travelling or minimizing your makeup routine.

There's plenty of time to smudge or blend out the product before it starts setting down. It's not drying, but that means it won't be super long-lasting if your skin leans toward oily. I like that it's a traditional pencil since that seems to add to it's ability to be creamy without breaking like some retractable products. There is a slight smell from the pencil wood, but it goes away after application.Overall, I would highly recommend this pencil to anyone that's looking for a highly versatile product that is high quality and pigmented.

Rich & pigmented.

This product was gifted to me in exchange for my honest review.I love pencil products and have used my fair share of them; not all are created equal so I was very excited to try this one out since it’s allegedly multipurpose. I received the color 100 Whatever Black, and was very impressed with how rich the pigment was! Despite the deep black color, it can easily be blended out for a smokier or more sheer look, or left as is for something bolder. The formula is very smooth and creamy, it glides right on with no tugging or dragging like some other pencils do which makes it much easier to work with. I’ve used it as eyeliner, a sheered out shadow, and even a lip liner with an ombré red look and it worked incredibly well for each task. Overall it’s a great product!

The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because it did crease on my lids, but I also have slightly oily hooded eyelids so this tends to happen a lot regardless, but I feel like it could still be an issue for others regardless of lid type. I’d honestly consider buying other colors as well though, because the ease of use makes this a great option for quick, effortless makeup.
