Lethal Cosmetics Ectoplasm, Spectre, Entity Side FX Gel Liners Reviews & Swatches
Ectoplasm
Lethal Cosmetics Ectoplasm Side FX Gel Liner ($15.50 for 0.17 oz.) is a light chartreuse with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation with a smooth, gel consistency that had great glide without sheering out too readily. The product applied evenly to bare skin whether I used an angled liner brush or a fluffy eyeshadow brush. It stayed on nicely for nine and a half hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
$15.50/0.17 oz. - $91.18 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "smudge- and water-proof" with "uncompromising intensity" that "does not budge." They have a very fluid, gel-like consistency that glides readily over skin with both finer, more angled liner brushes, fine-tipped brushes, and flat, synthetic brushes (more for applying as a cream eyeshadow or base).
They were intensely pigmented and delivered even coverage that was quick to set into place. They lasted for over 10 hours with minimal fading and no visible migration when I used them on my lower lash line, though there was a bit of emphasis on skin texture from the fully set dry-down.

Spectre
Lethal Cosmetics Spectre Side FX Gel Liner ($15.50 for 0.17 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark navy blue with strong, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied fairly evenly to bare skin but was slightly thinner compared to other shades in the formula. The texture was fluid and smooth, which made it easy to work with on an angled brush for precision lining. It lasted well for nine hours before fading noticeably.

Entity
Lethal Cosmetics Entity Side FX Gel Liner ($15.50 for 0.17 oz.) is a medium-dark gray with cooler, blue undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation paired with a smooth, lightly emollient gel base that applied evenly to my lash line. It seemed to have a bit more fluidity compared to other shades in the range, so I found that I had to blend it out slightly after giving it a few seconds to “dry” down. It wore well for nine and a half hours before fading a bit.

Spectre is a lovely “warmer” dark blue that I believe I could wear. The only thing I wonder about is how water proof/resistant it is?
I think they must be because Theresa is Dead (this is from her collab) wears them in her waterline.
These are pretty good gel liners from Lethal and I think that Ectoplasm is the more unusual shade colour.
Love a cool blue tone dove grey
Mmmmm.
I really love Ectoplasm and the general theme of the Lethal is Dead collab.
