Glam Azure

Glam Azure is an intense teal. When you first put it on it is a quite bluish teal, but as the day goes on it becomes more greenish.

For the first time, I have found a product that lives up to every claim it makes. Yes, these liners are vivacious. Yes, they shimmer. Yes, they are incredibly long-wearing. And yes, application is smooth and straightforward with the brush.

These liners go on very thin and watery, but once you let them set they are waterproof, smudgeproof, and nearly transfer-proof. Not entirely transfer-proof, I accidentally took a nap in this liner and it transferred a bit, but this hasn't happened whenever I was just wearing this normally. This doesn't even fade!

It's such a great, long-lasting product that unfortunately if you wear it on bare skin it will leave a stain. It comes off eventually, and the stain is a lot less noticeable if you wear a primer/base or eyeshadows underneath, but staining is still a threat.

CONCLUSION

I love these liners for summer. A nice selection of bright colors combined with an amazing formula, this product is a summer staple.
