LT Pro Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner in Black Review – Glam Radar

by Jane · April 17, 2015

I don’t want to keep you guys in the dark too long because I’m actually very excited about it myself. I love black eyeliner and I use it daily so finding this holy grail item was such a momentous event for me.

But before I start, I just want to inform my international readers that the following product is currently available in Indonesia only (and maybe some other Southeast Asian countries). I’m sorry! I guess if you live in the US, you can try Prestige eyeliner instead. I’ve been reading a lot of raves about that brand.

This is LT Pro Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner in Black. It’s made in Germany and it cost me only Rp 38.300 (around $4) at the LT Pro counter in Toko Mutiara (a salon supplier store). If you live in Yogyakarta, you can find another LT Pro counter in Ambarrukmo Mall.

LT Pro is a child brand from the well-known Indonesian brand La Tulipe Cosmetics. I have to say that I had a good first impression towards this brand. It is obvious that they want to accentuate the professional makeup image; the products are all in black, sleek packaging and the sales assistant’s makeup looks great (well-matched foundation, playful eye makeup, unlike some other local brands’ SAs). They probably want to be in line with PAC, which is a high end Indonesian makeup brand (kinda like our own MAC, lol). And that’s great! I hope that will stimulate the cosmetics industry to be more competitive and creative.

It has expiration date and batch number printed on the carton packaging. You can see them very clearly.

There are three things I love most about this eyeliner:

  1. The texture is comparable to Urban Decay’s 24/7 eyeliner; very smooth and creamy.
  2. It is SO intense/pigmented, whatever you call it. One stroke is all I need for my upper lashline.
  3. It shows up really well on my waterline and stays there the whole day! No joke. Remember my last post? I was at a live music gig and was sweating like crazy, but when I got home and checked my makeup, I found my eyeliner still intact. To me, this makes it more superior than UD’s 24/7 liner because UD doesn’t hold up as well as LT Pro does!

Aside from the fact that this eyeliner might run out quickly, I don’t have any more negative thing to say about it. The price is unbeatable for such superb quality. I’m so happy now that I don’t have to shell out $17 for a black eyeliner alone, haha, I guess that’s a farewell to UD’s Zero!

Anyways, I want to do a quick shout out to Jilly over Kireimakeup! She was the first one to tell me about LT Pro. She alerted me about some awesome eyeshadow palettes made by the brand (thank you, Jilly!). At the time we didn’t have any LT Pro counter in Yogyakarta so I kinda gave up looking. But now that LT Pro is accessible to me, I can clearly see why Jilly was so fond of the eyeshadow palettes. I did swatch some of the eyeshadows at the counter and I was amazed by how pigmented they are.

If any of my Indonesian readers reading this, has any of you bought their eyeshadow/lip palettes? What do you think about them? I remember it was a little less than $20 for 10 eyeshadows. I’m seriously considering to buying it but I plan to save up first so I can get both the matte and shimmery versions at the same time (talking about addiction here, LOL).

This is an FOTD from yesterday (should I stop calling it FOTDs and changed it to FOTY? LOL, because that’s always the case as I never seem to be able to post the photos at the same day I took them). I decided to play with some color and picked up my long time neglected 88 matte palette.

Honestly, I kinda regret getting this palette. Some of the shadows are pretty chalky and they just sort of disappear when you blend them.

I know it’s late but I just want to say… Happy Halloween! I didn’t dress up or anything because people don’t celebrate Halloween here… except in the clubs, and I’m not much into clubbing because people smoke A LOT in there. It’s like you have to go home all smelly and shit. Some time ago Karen mentioned to me that in Canada they did not allow people to smoke in public buildings. Well unfortunately, we don’t have that policy yet here (except in Jakarta, though I heard from a friend who lives there that people are still smoking in buildings anyway). And even though in the future we might have the policy enforced, I’m pessimistic that people would get into trouble for smoking. I mean even the lawmakers themselves think they should be excused to smoke inside the House of Representatives building, so… there you go. Kinda ironic.

Okay, I stop rambling now. Thanks for reading!
