L'Oreal Super Liner V-Sculptor Swatches and First Impressions

L'Oreal's Super Liner V-Sculptor eyeshadow sticks were launched last month, and yes, I'm only just getting around to swatching them. I wanted to blog about these because they're pretty interesting as far as eyeshadows go. These are powder eyeshadows, but instead of being in a pan and coming with a brush, these are actually in a pen form, with a cushion tip, as you can see below. The idea behind the cushion tip is that it's easier to blend the eyeshadow out to get a natural-looking application. As for the eyeshadow powder, it's stored inside the cap of the pen.

If these look a bit familiar, it's because these are basically the eyeshadow version of the L'Oreal Tint Caresse that was launched last year. Pretty much everything is the same - the pen format, the cushion tip (right down to the cushion material), the storage of the powder product in the cap. So if you've ever looked at the Tint Caresse and thought, "I'd like this in eyeshadow form", well, here we are!

There are 4 shades, but each of these shades are lovely basic neutrals that are great for everyday wear. And unlike the Tint Caresse, which tends to have a brighter shade range, these are all office-friendly. All of the shades have some amount of shimmer.

V03 Burgundy is a deep burgundy. This is as neutral as a burgundy shade can get, and has some plum mixed in. It's quite pretty if you're looking for a colour that pops a little more.
V04 Bronze is my favourite out of the range, and is a lovely neutral antique bronze. It's got a touch of gold in it, and isn't orangey at all. This would be a great shade on both warm and cool-toned ladies alike.
V02 Brown is a deep chocolate brown, also with a neutral undertone. This is a great basic addition to the wardrobe.
V01 Black is a black shade that's buildable rather than intensely pigmented. This is definitely a good choice for those who are looking for a black shade that is easier to smoke out and blend.

Above, you can see the same swatches at an angle to get a sense of the glitter level in the Super Liner V-Sculptors, which is a fairly muted level. Bronze and Brown do have more metallic finishes, while Black has a more matte-looking finish. These are priced at S$18.90, which is fairly affordable.
