HZ Tried & Tested: Recode Kohl Pencil, Mascara, And Lipstick Set Detailed Review

As a girl, having essential makeup products is a must for me. Even on days when I'm not in the mood for a full makeup routine, I always apply basic items like lipstick, mascara, and kohl to avoid looking unkempt. Consequently, I'm constantly searching for the best brands that provide durable products. I recently came across the Recode brand and decided to try out their mascara, kohl, and lipstick set. Having used these products for some time now, I'm ready to share my tried-and-tested review.

My Experience

The kohl kajal from Recode proves to be a flawless choice, lasting impeccably throughout the day. It offers the ideal option for achieving a classic Rani Mukerji look from 'Veer Zaara.' The mascara also delivers excellent results initially, providing impressive volume and length with just one application. However, during my testing, I found that applying it a second time led to some minor smudging. Therefore, this product is ideal for you if you have expertise in applying mascara in a single stroke. The lipstick set offers a versatile selection of long-lasting shades, making it a suitable choice for those who prefer a variety of colours in their makeup collection.

Cons

Recode Black Kohl Kajal Pencil:

None for me

Recode Mascara:

May not be entirely waterproof, leading to slight smudging under certain conditions.

Recode Silky Matte Mini Liquid Lipsticks:

Matte finish may feel drying over extended wear, depending on individual lip texture and hydration levels.

Final Verdict

The Recode Black Kohl Kajal Pencil offers an intense, smudge-proof colour ideal for achieving a classic look. It's a reliable choice for those seeking long-lasting wear, though it may require occasional sharpening.

The Recode Mascara initially impresses with its dramatic volume and length, perfect for single-application enthusiasts. However, it can smudge if layered, making it more suitable for those adept at applying mascara in one go.

The Recode Silky Matte Mini Liquid Lipsticks provide high coverage and long-lasting colour in a range of shades, though some may require touch-ups after meals. Overall, Recode products deliver solid performance with minor considerations based on personal application preferences and wear expectations.
