TOTAL INTENSITY by Prestige REVIEW

TOTAL INTENSITY by Prestige

                This is one product all beauty pageant candidates can swear by. The TOTAL INTENSITY by Prestige eyeliner is one of the best (if not the best) eyeliner pencil out there in the market.

                I have only ever used the Deepest Black shade but according the prestige cosmetics website, the TOTAL INTENSITY line offers more shades like Bold Brown, Daring Green, Fierce Blue, Powerful Purple, Fearless Teal, Strong Slate, Lively Turquoise and Outrageous Emerald. I’ve seen a couple of these at BeautyBar stores but I’m not sure if all of these shades are available in the Philippines.

                Prestige was not kidding when they called this INTENSE. This eyeliner does not skimp on color and pigment which is maybe why it is so easy to finish one of these 6-inch pencils. What’s great about it though is that it doesn’t smudge easily (No to accidental panda eyes!) unless you rub it hard intentionally.

                You can use it directly like a pencil for that really deep dark line or you can use a fine-tipped eyeliner brush so you can build on the product. 

                It does get a little softer than you'd like it to be sometimes. The trick is to put it in the freezer for a minute before you use it. The tip of the pencil will be a lot sturdier but it will not be any less pigmented.
                 
                 If you want to use this with a liner brush, you can warm the tip of the pencil using a lighter. Hover the tip of the pencil over the fire for one second and get some of the product on the eyeliner brush carefully. Notice how its consistency becomes similar to gel type liners.

              
                I usually use this eyeliner to fill in my upper lash line. This creates an illusion of thicker lashes. Light swipes in between the lashes will do the trick. In this photo, however, I used a eyeliner brush to create this terrible excuse for a cat-eye. I think I'll get creative and try out the other colors from their line soon. 

  

                One pencil costs around the middle range at Php350. There are a lot of cheaper products out there but I think this one with all it's intensity and versatility is worth every cent. And if you are planning to get one of these babies, better go to your nearest BeautyBar branch ASAP because they disappear from the shelves like magic. As of now, the Prestige brand in the Philippines is only available at BeautyBar stores.
