PAC All New Launches Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

PAC launched a bunch of new things recently, and they are still launching more, hopefully you will see a Part 2 of this post real soon 🙂

Starting with the current launches which are already out on Amazon and PAC website. We have few new brushes, 3 eye shadow palettes, eye brow palette, diamond powders, eyelid primer, makeup setting spray, makeup removing wipes, few new eye lashes, new mascara and 8 new shades in the Retro Matte Gloss.

Now I don’t have the makeup removing wipes and the matte round neutral eye shadow palette, I would be reviewing and swatching those in Part 2.

Let’s start with the eyebrow palette..

Claims: 

  • Designed to attain perfect brows
  • 12 pans divided into half with different colour tones
  • Powdery texture helps for perfect precision

MRP: Rs.1795/- (Buy HERE)

It has 11 pans with half and half colours and one of wax. You can mix and match and use any colour as per the colour of your hair and skin tone, and customize your perfect eye brow colour. I am not sure if the pans are sold individually because I couldn’t find it online, but all pans can be removed and carried along if required. This palette is perfect for you if you are a makeup artist, it even has blonde shades. However for individuals, I would recommend getting the single pan which I am sure they would retail soon or would be available in stores.

The shades which are absolutely perfect for Indian skin tones and which I recommend are Soft Brown, Auburn, Chocolate, Ash Brown and Dark Brown.

Here are the swatches..

L-R: Chocolate, Auburn, Ash Brown, Dark Brown

Coming to the brushes, PAC has added 6 new brushes and a sharpener for their Concealer Crayons.

PAC Brush 255 – MRP: Rs.645/- (Buy HERE)

PAC Brush 256 – MRP:  Rs.545 (Buy HERE)

PAC Brushes 255 and 256

They are duo fibre brushes for buffing, and are ideal for foundation and concealer respectively. 

PAC Brush 353 – MRP: Rs.795/-

PAC Brush 353

It’s a slanted kabuki brush, super dense and soft. The centre white portion is where you pump out the foundation and then start buffing, it gives a flawless foundation finish. Reminds me of Sigma F80, only that is flat.

PAC Brush 272 – MRP: Rs.595/- (Buy HERE)

PAC Brush 274 – MRP: Rs.595/- (Buy HERE)

PAC Brushes 272 and 274

PAC Brush 272 is a contouring brush, it blends your contour seamlessly even on the sides of the nose and jaw line. It would work best with cream contour. PAC Brush 274 is an eyeshadow blending brush, it is quite dense and broad, it would blend in your crease shadows quickly and seamlessly. But it is not ideal for detailing or darkening specific outer v as it covers a huge area. It is perfect for crease work.

PAC Brush 258 – MRP: Rs.675 (Buy HERE)

PAC Brush 258

PAC Brush 258 is the perfect highlighting fan brush, you can highlight specific areas also such as cupid’s bow and top of eye brow, tip of nose, etc., because of it’s size. Love this brush!

Coming to my favourite – eye shadow palettes.

They had launched a 7 shades matte eyeshadow palette previously (Swatch HERE) and I absolutely loved it! This time they have launched three more which look fabulous – Matte, Spark and Sprinkle. I will be reviewing the Spark and Sprinkle.

PAC 7 Color Spark Eye Shadow Palette – MRP: Rs.1175/- (Buy HERE)

This palette has 6 shimmery shades in all metallic tones and one matte black shadow. It has ideal lid shades and is a perfect festive/party palette. You can also create metallic smokey eyes with black at the outer V or layering a metallic shadow all over black on the lid. There are numerous ways you can use this palette.

There is dull gold, yellow gold, copper, rose gold, taupe grey, champagne and matte black. All the shadows are highly pigmented and go on smoothly. These are best applied with fingers, you can neaten the edges up with a precision brush though.

Only con for me would be the shades 1 and 2, 3 and 4 look similar, especially on the eyes. I wish there was one true metallic pink and one deep bronze instead. But nonetheless it is still an amazing palette quality wise too.

PAC 9 Color Sprinkle Eye Shadow Palette- MRP: Rs.1395/- (Buy HERE)

Claims: 

  • 9 shimmer shades
  • Best to create both day and night looks
  • Granulated particles make its texture very smooth and easy to blend

This is one gorgeous palette, I was stunned looking at the shades and pigmentation. It has 9 metallic/shimmer colourful shades. This palette covers all the shades and you can do a green smokey eye, blue smokey eye, burgundy, purple, gold, copper, all kinds of looks with this. This is the only palette you will need for Indian festive/wedding makeup apart from a few mattes for blending!

It has both warm neutrals like gold/copper/white and colours. We have white gold, copper, yellow gold, rose gold, dull gold, burgundy, lilac, blue and green. Lilac and blue are my absolute favourites.

This palette is a total value for money and an absolute must have! 

All the swatches are just one swipe without any primer.

PAC Eye Lashes in No.49- MRP: Rs.175/-

These are lashes for lower lash line, I have never tried lower lashes before but would definitely give this a try. I am glad PAC is launching more styles and different kinds of eye lashes. I hope they launch an eyelash glue soon.

PAC Slim Slimmer Mascara- MRP: Rs.595/-

This is a two way mascara with a slim, slightly curved wand on one side for the top lashes and the slimmer, tiny wand for the lower lashes. I loved the lower lashes slimmer one, the slim top part is good for defining lashes but it doesn’t give me enough volume.

PAC Micro Finish Makeup Fixer- MRP: Rs.850/- (Buy HERE)

Claims: 

  • Herbal and floral extracts in this makeup fixer
  • Aero spray technology eliminates blotchy watermarks
  • Beneficial vitamins protects skin & makes makeup last long

The spray in this is very fine and even, absolutely love the spray. It has herbal and floral extracts as claimed, ingredients have rosemary, lavender, peppermint, hibiscus, jasmine extracts, etc. It takes away all the powderiness from the face and makes the makeup stay longer. There are not enough makeup setting sprays in India and I do highly recommend this one.

PAC Canvas Shadow Primer – MRP: Rs.695/- (Buy HERE)

Claims: 

  • Create a clean canvas for eye-shadow application
  • Its lightweight and creamy
  • Lasts long and enhances looks

It is a tinted eye primer, the tint helps in evening out eyelids and covering the veins, giving a clean canvas to work with. It is creamy and blends nicely, looks and feels like a concealer.

It definitely makes the eye shadows appear brighter and vivid and helps the eye shadows stay longer.

Here is a swatch without and with primer..

Without Primer, With Primer

PAC Diamond Powders- MRP: Rs.745/- (Buy HERE)

Claims: 

  • Granulated shimmer powder for Eyes
  • Lightweight and has a smooth texture
  • Add an extra sparkle to your everyday life

These are shimmery powders/pigments which can be used in multiple ways. They are launched in three shades – Cleopatra, Moon Dust and Crystal.

These are perfect too add shimmer on the eye lids at the centre, or used below the eyes for a music festival look (glitter tears) or mixed with a mixing liquid and used as an eyeliner on the crease for a cut crease look. Cleopatra is white gold, Moon Dust is silver and Crystal is copper gold. I would highly recommend the Crystal one for bridal makeup artists. It will add oomph to your Indian bridal makeup looks.

They have three holes at the centre and a sifter packaging, I just wish the sifter lid would have been a little tight, as it was coming out while I was taking off the tape. I hope they don’t spill or mess around.

PAC Diamond Powders – Cleopatra, Moon Dust, Crystal

These can be used as highlighters but the shimmer is quite chunky and would emphasize your texture, so I wouldn’t recommend using these on the face.

I also have 8 new shades added in the Retro Matte Gloss, I will do a separate post for those tomorrow as this post is already very image heavy and long.

Overall, I am loving all the new launches PAC is coming out with. The palettes and brushes are total value for money, PAC products come with a quality.

What is your favourite launch out of the lot?

Top 10 PAC Cosmetics Products Available in India, Prices, Buy Online

By Sanchita

PAC is brand which I first saw on this blog itself and I loved the way Bhumika reviewed the Beauty Blender sponge which looked exactly like the Original Beauty Blender sponge. Ever since that I have been following the brand on Instagram and I love the new launches they are into. Most of the time the products turned out to be an excellent ones from various bloggers and experts across India and in fact, their products are also very high in demand. I believe they have a store in Andheri, Mumbai where you can easily access all the products and apart from that, the brushes are available on Flipkart and many other products are also on Amazon India. The only thing I don’t like is that I have to pay shipping charges for each and every product and the product are of very limited availability. The quality is impeccable which is why I really think they should expand the branches and make it more easily available for us. Another thing I would like point out is that their products are very different and something which won’t get in the Indian market easily.

So, let’s get on with the list.

1. PAC Beauty Blender Sponges – Pink Sponge (485 INR) Black Combo (745 INR) Mini Blenders (285 & 385 INR) (Buy HERE & HERE)

This is one of their bestselling product and a very close dupe of the Original Beauty Blender sponge. It is red and black in color. They also have quite a variety when it comes to sizes. Firstly, the big sponges have two variants – one with the tear drop shape and the other with the RT sponge shape. Also, the mini sponges are available in two variants as well. They have soft in texture and bloat in size when you squeeze under tap water. However, Bhumika has already updated that sponges are to be dealt very carefully as too much roughness will tear it out easily. It blends smoothly without absorbing too much product and a great option if you don’t want to invest on the expensive Original Beauty Blender.

2. PAC Brushes and Master Stroke Brushes (Price varies from product to product) (Buy HERE)

Brushes are as important as good quality makeup and I absolutely adore the collection they have. Most importantly the range is huge – from eye brushes, lip and face brushes, they have it all. Most of the brushes are also a close dupe of MAC brushes (which will cost you a fortune!) and the quality is no less. They have soft bristles, properly trimmed and blends everything like a dream. Also, they have a whole collection of Master Stroke brushes, which are available as a set and also individually. These brushes are the dupe of Artis Oval brushes and the bristles are smooth and soft like a dream. Overall, the brushes of PAC are the best investment for makeup tools.

3. PAC Eyeshadows (250-350 INR) (Buy HERE)

There are very few Indian brands which has single eyeshadows and also the variety of colors are insufficient and incompetent compared to the MAC ones or Makeup Geek. However, PAC has these single eyeshadow refills (which you can easily put it in a magnet palette and make your customized eye palette) available in a very affordable price tag. These have shimmery, frosty, pigment and matte finish along with good pigmentation and smooth blending ability for a great eye makeup look. The wear time is also nice. It is great for beginners as well as professionals.

4. PAC Lip Pots – 485 INR (Buy HERE)

These are the little lip pots which comes in small tub like packaging. The packaging includes a lip brush which will help you to apply the lips colors properly and you won’t have to use your fingers. They glide on the lips very easily and the texture is smooth and creamy. It gives a satin matte finish to the lips a very comfortable to wear for dry lips. It lasts quite long on the lips. The colors don’t fade too much or feather or bleed at all. The only thing is that it transfers slightly.

5. PAC Long-Lasting Kohl Pencil – 350 INR (Buy HERE)

The Long-Lasting Kohl Pencil has a sharpenable functionality with a smudger at the end. It has a super pigmented feature, creamy texture that glides on the eyes very easily. It gives a rich pigmented layer with a couple of strokes and great for regular kohled eye or smoky look. It doesn’t smear and hardly smudges. The kohl has a very good lasting power, around 6-7 hours with minimal fading. For the price, it is surely cost effective.

6. PAC 2 Way Big Eye Mascara – 595 INR

The PAC 2 Way Big Eye Mascara is surely an innovative one at that. It is a dual ended mascara with a slimmer wand for lower lashes and bigger one for upper lashes. It gets the job does quicker, better and easier. It adds both length and volume which is surely a great one. It hold the curls well and the unique design of the bristles help the lashes a lot. It is surely one of the best mascaras in this price and great for everyday wear.

7. PAC Eye Lashes – 165 INR (Buy HERE)

PAC has an array of Eye Lashes which is surely something to look forward to. The eye lashes look very natural yet dramatic enough to perk up your eye makeup look. They are very much reusable with a little care and carefulness. The eyelashes are very affordable and the bristles are soft. Overall, these are one of the must haves.

8. PAC Intense Duo Eyeliner Pencil – 585 INR (Buy HERE)

PAC Intense Duo Eyeliner Pencil comes in an attractive silver pencil with the retractable functionality. The texture of the pencil is extremely creamy and smooth which glides on the eyes like butter. This is surely a versatile product as you can easily use this an eyeliner and kajal. The finish is satin matte and the pigmentation is surely one of the best for the price range. The black color is rich and dark for an intense look. The staying power is also impressive.

9. PAC Studio Finish Primer – 885 INR (Buy HERE)

This Studio Finish Primer is a silicon based primer which has a thin clear gel like texture. It goes on the skin very smooth with its light weight formula. The weightless texture doesn’t feel oily or sticky at all and blends wonderfully into the skin. It also blurs out the pores as well. It helps the base makeup to go on very smoothly without any creasing for a good amount of time. The primer would suit bot dry and oily skin.

10. PAC Color Lock Long Lasting Lip Liner – 385 INR (Buy HERE)

PAC Color Lock Long Lasting Lip Liner has a sharpenable functionality with a beautiful texture. It is extremely creamy which doesn’t tug or pull at all and glides well on lips. it is better to exfoliate the lips beforehand. The pigmentation of the colors are impeccable and gives a beautiful matte finish which is comfortable to wear. They are long lasting, prevents bleeding or feathering of lip color and well-priced as well. The only con is that the shade range has too many reds and no other colors.

Editor’s Note: I liked the pink blender when I first used it, but it tore in first wash which I updated in the blog post. Also when I tried YBP, I realized YBP was much better! But double the price, so in the price range of INR 500, this is surely good. I haven’t tried their duo sponge pack yet. Neither any of the eye shadows or eye lashes. Love some of their makeup brushes, really good! You missed their Eyeliner Pen, which is my absolute favourite
