K-Beauty Essentials: Etude House Play 101 Pencils
mis à jour le 4 May 2019 à 08:50The latest of Korean beauty trends - You can now achieve a full face of makeup by only using these multi-tasking and concise pencils.
Most women will agree with us when we say that lugging around a heavy makeup bag is one of the most annoying things - ever. Just like the depressed feeling you get when you find crushed pieces of makeup destroying everything in your pouch. But with the newest creation by Etude House, this never has to be a worry again. The Play 101 Pencil boasts an array of 13 gel-based colour pencils to suit all your makeup needs.
What's so special about them? Well, each individual pencil can function as an eyeliner, brow pencil, eyeshadow, concealer, blush, lipstick, and even highlighter - perfect for the cosmopolitan woman that is always on the go.
Available in 5 different textures - creamy, matte, gloss, shimmering and glitter - each pencil is designed to be user friendly, even for makeup beginners.
If you're looking to create an eye look, opt for the creamy pencils. Available in 3 shades, the creamy texture allows the product to glide on perfectly for a high colour pay off with just one swipe.
The matte pencils are suitable for base makeup - covering up that nasty pimple, laying a base for your eyeliner or creating the perfect "just been pinched" cheeks.
The glossy textures are perfect for the lips, eyelids and cheeks. Featuring moisturising properties, the products will smooth your skin whilst brightening any dull areas.
Use the shimmering texture to highlight areas on your face, the fine pearl particles will give a boost to any skin tone.
Our personal favourite, the glittery pencils are a fun way to add an unexpected edge to any makeup look. Use them as eyeshadows, liners or lipsticks for a playful shine.
The versatile pencils are smudge-proof, and contain long-lasting waterproof properties that are easily removed with you everyday facial cleanser. To prevent the makeup from getting crushed in your makeup bag, each pencil is fitted with a protective cap on one end and a sharpener on the other.
So, ditch your heavy palettes and bid goodbye to heavy makeup pouches with these ultra-versatile pencils that can take you from the office to a hot date in no time.
Etude House Play 101 pencils (approx. USD1o each) are now available at all Etude House stores and counters.
