Product Review: L’Oreal HIP Kohl Eyeliner
Talking Makeup’s lovely intern Meryl, put L’Oreal HIP Kohl Eyeliner in Kohl Navy and L’Oreal HIP Kohl Eyeliner in Gold Kohl to the test.
Meryl, Talking Makeup’s intern
Here is Meryl’s L’Oreal HIP Kohl Eyeliner in Kohl Navy and L’Oreal HIP Kohl Eyeliner in Gold Kohl review: The applicator is a stiff felt tip which applies the loose pigment stored in the jar. Thanks to the rich pigmentation, these actually stay put really well. The colors I tried were Navy Kohl, and Gold Kohl which were extremely wearable and in style for the summer season. I liked the gold color for inner eye highlighting. I used the navy to create the smoky navy blue eyes.
These are my Pros and Cons about the product. Pros- Very easy to apply, highly pigmented rich in color and vibrant! Cons- Since it’s a loose powder on a felt tip, it could be slightly messy and flaky. Just remember to tap the eyeliner over the sink to release the excess before application. Overall it gave me a shimmery summer smoky eyes!

Jackie Sanchez
Marta Walsh: When did your fascination with makeup begin?
Jackie Sanchez: When I was 10 years old my brother got me a makeup kit called Scandia. It had eyeshadow, blush, lipstick, mascara, the works. I still remember opening that first box full of lipsticks!
MW: How did you get your first big break as a makeup artist?
JS: There are so many exciting times that I can remember. I would have to say working with legendary author Toni Morrison opened many doors for me. Traveling with her, accompanying her on book tours, meeting the television elite such as Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer, and Charlie Rose, has been so exciting.
MW: What is your makeup philosophy?
JS: I definitely believe in “less is more”. If you have nice skin why cover it up with heavy foundation and powder. Makeup should enhance your beauty.
