Moira Zora, Buzz, Ultra Multichrome Gel Liners Reviews & Swatches
Zora
Moira Zora Supernova Multichrome Gel Liner ($6.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a black-based multichrome that shifted from cooler, bluish-violet to cool purple to brighter purple. It felt and looked more like a duochrome than a multichrome.
- Semi-sheer pigmentation, hard to build up evenly
- Emollient, smooth, creamy–seemed too creamy for an even application
- Weaker multichrome shift
- Pencil prone to smushing and pushing around product when building
- Long-wearing (8.5 hours before thinning visibly)

Formula Overview
$6.00/0.01 oz. - $600.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "waterproof, smudge-proof, and transfer-resistant" with a "creamy texture." There did not seem to be a specific indication of pigmentation, but the promotional swatches make them appear opaque, which is typical for eyeliner. This is a multichrome finish-based formula, though I found that some shades had less obvious shifts and appeared more like good duochromes than decent multichromes as a result.
The texture felt smooth, lightly creamy, and comfortable to work with as it glided across my skin, but it did not deliver smooth results as the product itself often bunched up in places and did not build up well. I felt like, overall, it was a bit too emollient. I'd recommend using a stiff pencil brush to blend and smooth out the eyeliner after the initial laydown of product.
Most shades had more semi-sheer to medium coverage, which often did not build up that well as additional layers pushed around the first layer and resulted in an uneven result. They took a bit longer than average to dry down, but once they did, they were fairly long-wearing at 8-9 hours on me.

These pencils all look so pretty in the packaging! 14-yr-old me would be drooling over them because I’ve always been a sucker for marketing and sparkly stuff but it looks like these aren’t worth it for me after all. Thanks for the review!
Buzz is *okay*, but I think it’s high time that I place an order with Kaleidos for similar yet better quality multichromes than most of Moira’s.
Zora seems like a decent purple – but the formulas are really just too bad.
