I recently ordered Mosha Katani's Sormeh Natural Eye Kohl Sealer, and as a special promotion she was including a Sormeh Natural Eye Kohl in my choice of color. I've had my eye on the Charcoal Brown for a while now, so it was a great time (and a great deal!) to purchase.
The set came with the Sormeh, the sealer, and a little angle brush for application.
Here it is swatched out. The first swatch it just the Sormeh dry, the second is with a little bit of water added, and the third is with the Sealer. I only used one brush "dip" for each swatch, and used the brush to smudge the Sormeh onto my hand, like I would if I were applying it to my eyes.
Let's get a close up!
Those swatches are ALL Charcoal Brown. The only difference is that for the third swatch, I put down a light line of the sealer, and then ran the brush with Sormeh on it over the sealer. It was stunning. Literally, I sat there stunned. I see a lot of makeup, and it takes a lot for me to be shocked at how something turns out, but this is amazing.
I love that I can put the Sormeh on without the sealer and have a soft, smokey look; or I can use the sealer and BAM! I have a glamorous dark line that won't quit.
Sormeh stays put all day (and all night!). I love to use it on my waterline because it doesn't irritate my eyes, and did I mention it stays put? I already have this in Black, but I'm loving the Charcoal Brown for some softer, daytime looks.
My verdict? I love this! Both the Charcoal Brown Sormeh and the Sormeh sealer are going to be staples in my makeup kit!
