I'm subscribed to a handful of makeup artists on youtube; two of which being Pony and Lisa Eldridge. When I found out they were releasing their own goods, I was incredibly excited and purchased them right away. So today I'm going to share pictures of some of the products from the line "Pony Effect" and the book "Face Paint: The Story of Makeup". We'll start with Pony Effect. I bought two lipsticks (Vibrant Club & Expensive Dinner) and a Noble Brunch set which came in a vibrant pink and purple box. There was a black ribbon initially attached to the pink outer case, but I forgot to take a picture of it. Underneath the pink outer case was a reflective and very sturdy silver box. The Noble Brunch set came with an eyeshadow palette, contour palette, four nail polishes, and the lipstick Noble Brunch. The eyeshadow and contour palettes with the clear protective sheets on top. Eyeshadow swatches taken in natural lighting. I couldn't get a good photo of the contour palette so there are no swatches for that one :( Lipsticks (From left: Noble Brunch, Expensive Dinner, Vibrant Club) Nail Polishes (From left: Be Imagination, Party Fever, Illusion Glass, Sensual Seduction) Lipstick swatches in natural lighting. Vibrant club is a darker red with plum undertones. I looove these lipsticks, I feel like these swatches don't do them justice. Nail polish swatches in natural lighting. I have no excuse for the terrible application, so I will just apologize for the hot mess lol. My favorite colors are Be Imagination and Illusion Glass. Everything together! I didn't want my reflection to show up in the mirrors so I held up a pillow while I took the picture. Here I'm wearing Vibrant Club on my lips. Band-aid on my face because I had a scab. I'm happy with all the products so far! The contour palette gives me subtle shading and highlight without making me orange or ashy. The lipsticks are very pigmented and stay on fairly well as well. I wore Vibrant Club to a wedding but it didn't really wear off much when I was eating and drinking; it barely left a stain on my glass. Of course when I wiped my mouth or something, it slightly faded, but that's normal. As for the eyeshadows, I think some of them could have been a little more pigmented, but I may have to try different application techniques. The glittery shadows Just 10 seconds and All That Glam also have a bit of fallout, but it's the typical amount that most glittery shadows have. I don't have anything to say about the nail polishes since I haven't had a chance to wear them out yet. But yeah, everything is good so far and I've been using Pony Effect frequently ever since I got it. If Pony releases more products I'll definitely purchase them ❤. I bought all the items from Gmarket and it took about a week to arrive, but if you live in South Korea you can get them at the official site Pony Effect. Now onto Face Paint! "Face Paint: The Story of Makeup" is a book that goes over the history of makeup, its trends, meanings, and includes trivia information as well as lots of lovely pictures. It was something I liked to read at night before I go to sleep. But the book made me view makeup in a new angle since its contents were not simply application tutorials but stories of its origin (it also gave me ideas for character designs haha). If you're interested in the background of makeup you might want to consider picking this up!
I bought my copy on amazon, but you can also purchase it from Barnes & Nobles.

AboutHi I'm RQ and this is where I blog about my cosplay and daily life.
*I'm taking a break from cosplay.
Looking back at what I wrote in my posts make me cringe, but I'll leave this blog up in case people still want to use my cosplay progress/WIPs as a resource for their own projects. Categories
