Zoeva Graphic Eyes Eyeliner ($7.50 for 0.04 oz.) is introducing six new shades, plus a limited edition collector’s box of all 16 shades (plus a pencil sharpener) on March 21st. I will be reviewing all 16 shades across three posts over the next week! 🙂 This is part three (view part one and part two here)…

Zoeva Glance Graphic Eyes Eyeliner ($7.50 for 0.04 oz.) is a dark, bronzy brown with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It was intensely pigmented with a really creamy, smooth consistency that applied evenly and easily. This shade wore well for eight and a half hours on me. Burberry Midnight Brown (P, $27.00) is less shimmery, darker (95% similar). Make Up For Ever D62 Diamond Brown (P, $21.00) is less shimmery, lighter (95% similar).

See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Zoeva Myth Graphic Eyes Eyeliner ($7.50 for 0.04 oz.) is a light, champagne beige with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had semi-sheer color coverage in one stroke, which was somewhat buildable, but the texture, while very smooth and non-tugging, felt waxier and was harder to achieve really crisp, opaque lines with. The color had noticeably faded after seven and a half hours. MAC Paragon (LE, $21.00) is darker (95% similar). Sephora Blonde Ambition (DC, $10.00) is lighter (90% similar). Urban Decay Venus (DC, $22.00) is lighter (90% similar). MAC Snowed In (P, $17.00) is lighter (90% similar). Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood (Metallic) (PiP, ) is more shimmery, lighter (85% similar). Maybelline Rose Quartz (P, $9.99) is more shimmery, darker (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Zoeva Opulence Graphic Eyes Eyeliner ($7.50 for 0.04 oz.) is a vibrant, medium-dark coppery red with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had semi-opaque coverage in one pass, which was buildable to opaque coverage in two layers. The texture was smooth and creamy, so it glided on easily and didn’t tug at the lash line. The color lasted for eight and a half hours on me. MAC Copper Field (LE, $16.00) is less shimmery, darker, cooler (90% similar). ColourPop Sistas (LE, $7.00) is more shimmery, darker (90% similar). Urban Decay Fireball (P, $22.00) is more shimmery (95% similar). ColourPop Get Lucid (P, $7.00) is more shimmery (85% similar). Lethal Cosmetics Cue (P, $15.50) is less shimmery, darker, cooler (80% similar). Chanel Romance (955) (P, $34.00) is more shimmery, lighter (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Zoeva Rock ‘n’ Roll Bride Graphic Eyes Eyeliner ($7.50 for 0.04 oz.) is a blackened brown with warm, reddish undertones and fine ruby red shimmer. It had good pigmentation in one stroke, and it was creamy, though a little more slippery than it needed to be, and glided on well. This shade lasted for eight and a half hours before thinning. Urban Decay Dark Force (P, $22.00) is warmer (90% similar). MAC Bitter in Glitter (LE, $16.00) is less shimmery (90% similar). Urban Decay Stag (LE, $22.00) is less shimmery, darker (90% similar). Urban Decay Muse (LE, $22.00) is lighter, warmer (90% similar). Urban Decay Corrupt (P, $22.00) is more shimmery, lighter, cooler (85% similar). Fenty Beauty Space Cookie (P, $22.00) is less shimmery, lighter, warmer (85% similar). NARS Last Frontier (P, $24.00) is less shimmery, cooler (85% similar). ColourPop Juniper (LE, $7.00) is more shimmery, lighter, warmer (80% similar). Chanel Bois Noir (58) (LE, $34.00) is less shimmery, lighter, cooler (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Zoeva The Truth Graphic Eyes Eyeliner ($7.50 for 0.04 oz.) is a bright, shimmering white with neutral-to-cool undertones. It had semi-opaque coverage but was hard to build up as it would apply unevenly, so some areas looked more opaque but denser/thicker than others. The color itself stayed on for eight hours. Tarina Tarantino Crystal Gun (DC, $15.00) is brighter (95% similar). Urban Decay Cosmic (LE, $22.00) is less shimmery (95% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty Iced (P, $24.00) is less shimmery (90% similar). MAC Snow Way (LE, $16.00) is less shimmery, warmer (90% similar). MAC Be Cool BB (LE, $16.00) is less shimmery, warmer (90% similar). Urban Decay Yeyo (P, $22.00) is less shimmery, lighter, warmer (90% similar). Fenty Beauty Bad Bride (P, $22.00) is less shimmery, lighter, warmer (90% similar). LA Girl Snowflake (P, $4.49) is warmer (90% similar). ColourPop Super Team (LE, $7.00) is less shimmery, darker, warmer (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Zoeva Graphic Eyes Eyeliner ($7.50 for 0.04 oz.) is supposed to be a smooth, pigmented, long-wearing, and waterproof eyeliner. Overall, when they’re good, they’re really good, and when they’re less good, they’re still long-wearing, just less pigmented (but often buildable). The texture is very creamy, so they glide effortlessly and never tug on the lash line. The line has some more interesting shades than the standard eyeliner range, which is always nice to see. The wear varies between seven and nine hours depending on the shade.

Zoeva did a great job with the browns here, especially love the red shimmers in Rock N Roll Bride. And Opulence is quite unique, no dupes for that one!

I love Glance its very similar to the Lord it up pearlglide eyeliner from MAC. I usually cannot wear shimmery eyeliners on my waterline because I get teary almost instantly. But for someone reason MAC’s teddy seems to work really well for me! This is so much more affordable though!

I’m thinking I may get the set. I did a little research online. These pencils are very popular abroad. I read on a blog called “Taupe & Pearl” , The best way to get a crisp line with these is to use a brush over the top of the pencil (ie pencil brush or angel brush). She also mentions that they make awesome bases smudged out on the lid. I tend to do a smoky liner most days. it’s just easier. The deal is pretty hard for me to pass up. I think this is pushing me over the edge to be my first Zoeva purchase. I’m going to look through the shimmer shades one last time. But, sometimes a little fall out is the least of my worries 🙂

So glad to gear that because I could no longer have this weighing on my mind and earlier today, I took the plunge! I have been procrastinating on my Zoeva purchase forever. I think this finally tipped me over the fence. I ordered this set, En Taupe, Cocoa blend, 2 blushes, a brush, and a cool looking travel mirror. I totally could have spent a million dollars on that site and i know I will be back! LOL

102 with the rose gold handle! But, Omg there were son many more I really wanted ! I chose that one because I’ve been looking for another foundation brush because lately I’ve sucked at washing brushes. Lol. It has great reviews on Makeup alley too! Do you have any Zoeva brushes?

ouineque Avatar

Yay Nicole! I’m happy you made up your mind and ordered so many nice things. My Taupe and Mute eye pencils arrived today and I love them! They are incredibly soft. I can’t justify to buy more eyeshadow, so I skipped the palettes, but I did get a blush and my second Zoeva brush earlier this week. 🙂

Nicole Avatar

I’m glad to hear you like the brushes! I had been stalling on those two palettes since before Christmas. So, I figured if I was going to chunk down the high shipping to the US, I may as well do it all at once. Then, I started checking out reviews on the brushes and realized they have a really popular following.
The blushes-Christine made me do it! lol!

Nancy T Avatar

Me, either!!! It will definitely be an adventure as I have never ordered anything from another country, so I’m looking forward to trying this brand!

Sosri Avatar

A lot of these are really interesting. I really like a lot of other Zoeva products, so maybe these will make their way into my cart next time. I just have to wear more than brown eyeliner first, haha.

I was in Germany last year and Zoeva was difficult to find and the customer service at the beauty retails was not at all helpful or nice. I’m happy the Internet makes buying makeup from other countries a pleasant experience. Even though every shade is not a total winner, I ordered the full set, plus an eyeshadow palette and brushes. Can’t wait for them to arrive!

Nicole Avatar

What brushes did you get Angelica? I had to tear myself away from looking at those after doing a little online research. I added one,the 102 . I’m definitely going to go back for more if they are as good as the online community says! I hate washing brushes. So, the more , the better for me?

Angelica Avatar

It has been a few weeks since I received my order, by the way the shipping took only one week and was well packaged. The brush set is very well put together and has a lot of details on the brushes themselves e.i. name and number of the brush, name of the set, and a detail design on the ferrule of the brush. I find the small detail brushes a bit on the stiff side and not my favorites from the set, but I’m really enjoying the blending brushes. I washed them and I haven’t noticed shedding. I hope this helps Nicole 🙂

Some fab shades from Zoeva there! I’m on a low/no buy until the end of next month but they’re permanent anyway. I’ve put a few in my basket in Beauty bay.com already lol!

I was tempted by Opulence but I can’t really imagine how it will look on me. Will you be wearing it in one of your looks these days Chrisine, while reviewing other products?
