PAC Cosmetics Face Care/Eye Care Series, Long Lasting Kohl, HD Powders, New Launches Review

Hi guys,

PAC Cosmetics has launched more products recently and still in the process of launching a few, if you don’t find something shown here online yet, it is coming up in a day or two.

You can check out all PAC Cosmetics review/swatches HERE

This time we have Studio Finish Oil Primer, Cleansing Gel, Total Clean Lip and Eye Makeup Remover, High Definition Powders, Long Lasting Kohl Pencils, Lip Pencils, Smart Tip Liquid Liner and Face Care and Eye Care Brush Series.

PAC Studio Finish Oil Primer

Claims: This studio finish oil primer is infused with jojoba oil which nourishes the skin and also gives a natural shine to the skin. Uses: prep your skin before applying your makeup with PAC studio finish oil primer. Mix some drop with your foundation or concealer for smooth and dewy effect.

MRP: Rs.795/- for 20ml (Buy HERE)

The packaging is quite nice, it comes in a twist up dropper form, where you can lock the dropper from the top so that the cap doesn’t open or leak, unless unlocked. But still it is in a glass bottle and you have to be careful with it, if you are travelling with it.

It’s a light oil that gets absorbed easily into the skin, but leaves dewy, glossy skin which is not sticky/greasy. Foundation blends in much smoother on the skin and there are no dry spots/patches where foundation would cling on to the skin. You can either use it as a base or mixed in with the foundation. I definitely recommend it to people with normal to dry skin, oily skin can use it too, it won’t make your skin more oily but you can restrict the drops. You don’t need much anyway, but if you have super oily skin, then I would only recommend mattifying products and not oil based ones.

I am all about that dewy skin and I love using this! And no it doesn’t make your whole face dewy looking, you can powder on top if you prefer a matte look. Like I have an oilier T zone and I powder my T zone and it instantly looks matte.

PAC Cleansing Gel

Claims: Makeup Removal now made easier!! With our Total Cleansing Gel you can remove your makeup without leaving any residue. You simply have to follow the steps below: – Apply a good amount of cleansing gel in the area where the makeup needs to be removed. – Gently massage with the tips of your finger on the area. – Now use a tissue or a cotton pad and swipe of the gel.

MRP: Rs.695/- for 100ml (Buy HERE)

This is a light gel with a bluish tint, you need to massage it on your face for about 30-40 seconds and it will melt the base makeup. Then you can simply wipe it off with a cotton round. It doesn’t irritate the skin or leave any greasy residue which happens with oils/balms. It takes off the makeup very gently and easily.

PAC Total Clean Lip & Eye Makeup Remover

Claims: This makeup remover can quickly and effectively remove all stubborn eye and lip makeup. This oil and water emulsion is infused with oils, rice and soy extracts with high-grade solution which is formulated to remove the toughest makeup

MRP: Rs.550/- for 80ml (Buy HERE)

This is a bi-phased makeup remover for eyes and lips. Shake it well and take some on a cotton pad. Hold it on the eye for a few seconds for the waterproof makeup to melt down and then gently swipe the cotton pad. You can take off even waterproof mascara in 2-3 swipes. It also works really well on liquid lipsticks, because non-oil based makeup removers/micellar waters do not take off the lipstick pigment/stain from the lips.

I do use oils usually for my lips and eyes, but they are kind of heavy and sometimes blur my vision for a few hours after. I don’t prefer micellar waters for my eyes coz all micellar waters sting my eyes.

This one didn’t sting my eyes, didn’t leave any oily residue, didn’t blur my vision. This is quite good for the price, and I do recommend it, especially if you have sensitive eyes like mine and/or use waterproof makeup

PAC Long Lasting Kohl Pencils

Claims: Its creamy, long-lasting formula delivers intense colour that creates defined eye looks for all-day wear. Its available in 5 different shades. Top Tip- Use it as a kajal as well as an eye liner.

MRP: Rs.395/- for 1.2g (Buy HERE)

Shades Available: Skin, Coffee Brown, Forest Green, Navy Blue, Black

It’s a sharpenable pencil with a smudger behind. You can use it as an eyeliner, as a kajal on the waterline and even as an eyeshadow base or for soft, day time smokey eyes. 

These are super creamy and pigmented, the swatches you see are just one swipe. Do not apply too much pressure or else the nib breaks, they are that creamy. But once set, they don’t smudge or smear much.

As an eye liner on the top lash line, they stay put pretty much through the day. On the waterline, it does smudge a bit on the outer corners after 4-5 hours, like most pencils.

I love the fact that they have launched a n*de eye pencil shade, Skin, which no other Indian brand has. Lakme had launched the white one, but white looks super stark on most skin tones. This one is also a little light and on the white side, I wish it had more beige, skin like undertones. This shade would work well for fair to medium skin tones but will still be a little stark and not a perfect nude for most Indian skin tones.

I love the Coffee Brown shade, it’s a perfect everyday wear shade. And soft, brown smokey eyes with this pencil can instantly make your eyes look pretty and like you have done an elaborate eye makeup look or put in a lot of efforts 😀 Black is of course a staple for us Indians, black kajal works for all eye looks and tightlining too.

Green and Blue are good for days when you want some pop of colour in your makeup, or as an eye shadow base.

The price point, shades, qty, pigmentation, formula, all is pretty good.

PAC Lip Pencils

Claims: Our creamy lip liners extend the longevity of your lipstick & prevent your lipstick from bleeding or feathering. It’s so easy to use and glides on and sets in a few seconds. You can use our lip liners to also contour your lips to give you a pouty lip!

MRP: Rs.200/- for 2g (Buy HERE)

Shades Available: Coffee, Mauve, Natural

These are a total value for your buck! They are super long and the qty is 2g! Again sharpenable, but you don’t need to sharpen these often. 

Super creamy and glide on well, they do not feel dry on the lips like some lip pencils do. You can either use these just for outling and defining your lips or as an all over colour for the base of the lipstick. If you have pigmented lips or want to wear a sheer/creamy lipstick, then a lip pencil like this will work in bringing out the actual colour of the lipstick and/or not make your lips look bare.

All three shades will work for pretty much all Indian skin tones, but in specific Natural will work for fair to medium skin tones, Coffee for medium to dark and Mauve for all.

I love the formula, the shades, the price point, highly recommend this!

PAC Smart Tip Eyeliner

MRP: Rs.450/-

Matte jet black and a felt tip, two things which I look for in an eyeliner, it has both! It doesn’t bleed, is pigmented, not watery, glides on smooth and stays well through the day. 

It’s easy to apply as I prefer a felt tip and comes out a good, rich black in one swipe. I do recommend this, if you are searching for a good, matte liquid liner.

High Definition Powders

Claims: PAC high definition powder is a loose banana powder which has a coarse-grained texture which coats a silky soft feel to the skin and also absorbs oil and gives even matte finish. available in 2 shades.

MRP: Rs.695/- (Buy HERE)

It’s available in white transparent and yellow banana shade. White is a universal shade and works for everyone, banana is a good match for us with yellow undertones, and especially for setting the concealer to counteract purple undertones under the eyes.

Banana also works better than white, if you are using flash photography. 

I love the packaging, it’s a fine sifter at the centre and doesn’t remove excess product. You can directly dip your brush on the sifter and lift the product. The packaging is exactly like the MAC High Definition Powder.

I have tried Colorbar, Faces and a lot of different loose powders, but they are all more like mineral foundations and even though fine, I have never experienced a finer powder like this PAC HD one in any Indian brand. This is perfect for baking under eyes, to set your concealer and to make your contour sharper or cleaner.

I love the packaging, the fine texture, the qty (it will last you really long) and the price point (it is cheaper and better than other Indian brands)

PAC Face Care Series

Claims: This kit comprises of premium quality 5 face brushes. It is ideal for blending, buffing, powder, contouring. These brushes are your ultimate pro face essentials. These brushes come in a handy brush pouch to keep your brushes organised.

MRP: Rs.2795/- (Buy HERE)

PAC Eye Care Series

Claims: This kit is all you need. PAC Eye Care set comprises of 8 eye brushes which is idea for eye shadow blending, eye shadow application, eyebrow brush, smudger, liner brush. These brushes are a combination of different shape and sizes. Define your creativity with PAC Eye Care series. These brushes comes in a handy brush pouch to keep your brushes organised.

MRP: Rs. 2595/- (Buy HERE)

I love the black foldable pouch both the kits come in. Plus the outer black tie-up cloth bag. These kits are not only great for your everyday use, but also when you want to travel with it.

Now I know some of you feel the brush kit is expensive for beginners, but the quality of PAC brushes is pretty much comparable to Real Techniques/Sigma. If you are looking for good quality brushes in India, then these kits are your best bet. If you buy these brushes individually, it will total up to more than the value of this kit, plus you get a pouch handy for travel.

For the face, it has a flat foundation buffing brush, concealer brush, powder brush, blush/highlight brush and a contour brush. You might need 1-2 separate brushes if you like keeping your bronzer/blush/powder/highlight brushes separate. But this is pretty much the basic set you will need for your face.

For the eyes, this is the best kit I have come across and each of the 8 brushes has a separate/specific use and you won’t need any other brush apart from these 8 for a complete eye makeup look. It has a fluffy eyeshadow application brush (Like MAC 217) to apply the shadow, blend in the outer corners or add smokiness to the outer V. A fine eyeliner brush and a dual sided eyebrow brush with an angled brush on one end (for both filling in eyebrows or you can use it for your gel eyeliner) and a spoolie on the other end. A smaller/denser eyeshadow application brush, a big fluffy blending brush, a pencil brush, a shorter stiff brush for smudging lower lash line or glitter application and another eyeshadow application brush.

Pretty much everything you need if you are looking for good eye makeup brushes. If you are not into eye makeup, then you can just get the face series. If you already have basic face brushes and a beauty blender and want to experiment with eye makeup, I will definitely suggest getting the eye series. Beauty blender does a lot of your base work when it comes to face, but for the eyes, good brushes can make or break your eye makeup.

Overall I would say, I am again happy and satisfied with all the new PAC Makeup Launches, nothing has disappointed me from these. Price wise, I know some of you have mentioned PAC prices have increased but when I compare the products with a lot of other brands both Indian and international, it delivers quality at a price lesser than theirs, so I am not complaining. But I do wish they come up with more offers and discounts regularly. 

If you are in Mumbai/Delhi/Bangalore/Hyderabad/Ahmadabad, then you can personally visit the store, get your match in foundation/concealer, also they offer 10% discount in stores.

So what did you like from the new launches? Let me know in the comments below.
