Review: Etude House Proof 10 Auto Pencil

[[MORE]]

Hello~ I have an Etude House Proof 10 Auto Pencil review today. I heard Etude House's ever so famous of the Proof 10 Shadow Primer. Since this eyeliner is also in the Proof 10 line, it gotta be good, right?!

Here's what the back of the packaging looks like.

Side packaging. Here it claims what this product will do, directions, and also ingredients.

Side packaging. Here is all Korean but there are photos. It's just showing you how you can take out the end of the eyeliner and sharpen it if you feel like the tip is too dull.

Etude House Proof 10 Auto Pencil comes in a few colors. But the one I got  is in the color BK801 which is a black shade. This view is from the bottom of the box.

Here's what the actual product looks like. It has a navy blue cap and a black body. I thought the color of the eyeliner was actually gonna be that navy blue cause of the cap. This product reminds me an American eyeliner I own which is the Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner. I really like auto twisties eyeliners because it's extremely convenient, you don't have to sharpen it and if you feel like you need to, there's a little sharpener at the bottom of the product.

Here's how the product looks like with the sharpener end taken out.

Btw, I didn't edit any of these photos because I wanted you guys to see the actual color of this eyeliner.

First off, here is a small swatch:

As you guys can see, this eyeliner isn't a real dark black color. I would say it leans more as a grey black. So wearing this could give you a subtle eye look, not so intense and could essentially look natural from faraway.

So normally, I never apply pencil eyeliner on my top lids because pencil liners tend to smudge so I always use a liquid liner. But, seeing as this product claims to be water proof and what not, I wanted to see if it'd last on me.

Awkward angle.... LOL I only had Etude House Proof 10 Auto Pencil on and some mascara. Again, I wanted to emphasize on the eyeliner so I didn't wear any eye shadow.

Again, you can see that this eyeliner isn't a dark black shade. However, when I applied it, it was extremely creamy and super easy to glide on! I'm really happy about that because my old eyeliners I have in my collection are getting quite dry so the application isn't as easy as it used to be :/

Here in this picture, I'm attempting to smear the eyeliner to see if it'll budge.

The result?

Yay! It stayed in place!!!!

Here, I did a swatch of the eyeliner and attempted to do the same test as the pictures above (smearing it with my fingers to see if the product will fade).

Again, it didn't fail on me :3

Overall: I'm fairly pleased with this product as the day I wore this eyeliner, it didn't smudge on me even though it was a sweaty hot day. As shown in these pictures, I rimmed my whole bottom lash line with this product. Usually, I never do that because it tends to smudge on me if I do that.  But surprisingly, this product didn't. Besides that, my usual routine is applying liquid liner on my top lid. However, using this product on my top lid wasn't bad at all. No smears, no smudges. I also enjoyed how this product didn't seem to budge when I attempted to erase it.

A thing that I'm not quite satisfied with is the pigmentation. This product could've been a little bit darker. On Etude House's website the Proof 10 Eyeliner comes with 5 shades and this one that I got is the darkest shade so.....haha. It's not too bad though because you can look natural:)

 Thank you guys for reading my review♥
