using The Edgiest Kohl Shadowsticks in Iced as well as Grounded from The Estée edit ($22 each)
I don’t understand if I’d phone call these “The Edgiest,” since I don’t see Khal Drogo or Robert Smith, who are in my mind two of the edgiest makeup-wearing peeps around, rolling as much as a Sephora as well as making a beeline for The Edgiest Kohl Shadowsticks from The Estée edit (I see them a lot more as NARS guys), however I’d definitely phone call them “Edgier Than Most,” or “Somewhat fairly Edgy…”
I mean, they aren’t so edgy that I feel lured to utilize them to color in my adult coloring books, which, doesn’t that noise funny? As if you’d open a coloring book as well as see, like, “adult” (airquotes) things in there? Haha, nasty…

FUN FACT: adult color books are really just routine coloring books, except they’re for adults, as well as they’re currently extremely trendy. as well as yes, often I’m lured to color mine in with makeup.
But I digress…
So, these aren’t your standard-issue chunky-monkey shadowsticks, since you can utilize them on your lids like an eyeshadow or along your water lines as well as lash lines like a liner (except for the purple shade, which states that it’s only for lids as well as lash lines), so they’re two-for-one products for $22.

I’m hooked on three of the nine shades — Violet Taboo (a glittery, shimmery violet), Grounded (a pearly brown with a hint of grey) as well as Iced (a stark white).
All of them feel smooth against my skin, kinda like when you leave ice cream out on the counter for a while as well as it gets all soft as well as runny… say thanks to goodness they’re not like those difficult kohl pencils that feel like I’m poking my eyes out with a rough piece of plastic, since those are never fun.
I’ve been getting back into my makeup groove lately, however a lot of days I still only have time as well as energy to spend about 15 minutes on my looks, so these have been up in mah mix. since there’s an eyeliner as well as a shadow in each stick, they save me from having to dig with my makeup bag.
I used them the other day when I was rushing to get prepared to go to the dentist (pumped the boobs, slapped on some makeup as well as ran out the door!). I grabbed Grounded as well as used it in a half moon shape on my lids, then buffed out the edges before it set (these take about three minutes to dry). then I ran it along on my upper lash as well as water lines.
Then, I took Iced as well as dragged it along my lower water lines, as well as I was made with my eye makeup in less time than it takes to say, “Draymond Green’s game 5 suspension reeks of conspiracy. GO WARRIORS!”
Anyway…the Edgiest Eye Kohls are likewise meant to be incredibly long-lasting with a wear time of — state wha?! — 24 hours.
I’m not so sure about that, since I have to reapply them about every four hours on my water lines as well as every 10 hours when I utilize them as eyeshadow.
Now, considering that these are chubbier than a lot of skinny-minnie eyeliner pencils, I most likely won’t utilize them for fine, in-depth lines, however you could, considering that there’s a hidden sharpener tucked in the bottom of the pencil. It’s just that I believe the genuine appeal in these is in exactly how untidy you can be with your lines as well as smudging. It’s fast, fun, simple makeup.
Grounded on my lids as well as Iced on my lower water line
Of the three I like, my preferred is Iced, since it’s really, truly difficult to discover a white kohl that you can just pop on your water line as well as get a stark, opaque white liner look with just one layer. I plan to wear it on the daily.
