today just a quick eyeliner-review. i bought this Avon Super Shock Gel Eyeliner some months ago after i saw a review on Cream's Beauty Blog. not only is Golden Fawn a light metallic taupe, it also seemed to be a dupe to Chanel Stylo Yeux in Rose Platine - a beloved, but limited edition eyeliner that i only use sparingly to not run out of it.
this has a creamy and soft texture and glides smoothly on the skin for a highly pigmented line without any dragging. just as Chanel Rose Platine, i like to wear this on the lower lashline. the silver taupe subtly defines the eye but also opens it because of its reflective quality. it contains tiny crystal flecks, so i don't use it on the waterline. staying power is medium, it does set but i still notice some smudging at the outer corner after 2 or 3 hours (doesn't seem to be sebum-proof). since the colour is so light, i don't mind it, though.
i bought mine on ebay for about 6-7€.

for both looks, i wore Avon Golden Fawn on the lower lashline.

so let's see if it's a dupe for Chanel Rose Platine at all...
Avon Super Shock Gel Eyeliner in Golden Fawn - Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof in #47 Rose Platine
Avon Golden Fawn - Chanel Rose Platine
they are very close, but Chanel is a bit more golden compared to Avon. also, Rose Platine is made of tiniest glitter particles which gives it a lot of complexity while Golden Fawn is a smooth metallic that has less dimension to it.
after the rub test...
Avon Golden Fawn - Chanel Rose Platine
as you can clearly see, Chanel is still there but Avon is not. the same result i experienced on the eye.
overall, i think Golden Fawn is not a spot-on dupe to Chanel Rose Platine, but applied, they have a very similar effect so i don't think you can tell if you don't look very closely.
Thats a really good dupe. I love Avon makeup its really good quality and a great price. I hope the Golden Fawn is still for sale. I really want to try it.
ReplyDeletethank you Vicki! since this shade is in Avon's permanent line, i think it should be still available. it's really affordable, too.
Deletewunderschöne Farbe! Rose Platine habe ich damals verpasst, Golden Fawn habe ich jetzt direkt nach deinem Post bestellt :)
ReplyDeletedanke dir! ich bin mir sicher dass er dir gefallen wird!
DeleteIt's very pretty - def gonna try it, thanks for sharing!

i hope you'll like it! i really like this shade, but if the darker supershock liners are similar, i'd pass since i had some smudging with this light one. how are your experiences with them?
DeleteDie Farbe ist wirklich toll, auch wenn es kein Dupe ist, wo kaufst
ReplyDeletedu denn die Avon Produkte? Die Super shock Stifte sehen wirklich interessant aus,

hallo Nati! diesen Avon liner habe ich auf ebay gekauft. es war ein seller aus deutschland und der versand ging auch ganz fix.
DeleteThese Avon Mega Impact are my HG eyeliners I love them all and they actually stay put on me all day with no smudging and are very pigmented. I was totally in love with the milani one but these took its place in a heartbeat...Love Them!
ReplyDeletei'm hesitant to try the darker shades since i'm afraid that it might smudge on me like this light shade :-|
DeleteSuper schöne AMUs! :-D
ReplyDeleteWelchen Lidschatten und welchen schwarzen Eyeliner hast du da verwendet?
vielen Dank! ich habe einige farben von Le Métier de Beauté und Nars verwendet: look 1 LMdB Jojo & LMdB Bordeaux, look 2 LMdB Bordeaux und NARS Lhasa. der schwarze eyeliner ist K-Palette 1 Day Tattoo Real Lasting Eyeliner, den ich auch schon hier vorgestellt habe, den bericht findest du sicher über die suchfunktion ;)
DeleteThis is a really pretty color. I might have to pick this up. Thanks for sharing this. I don't have any Avon makeup but really like this color.
ReplyDeletethank you! i think the quality of this liner is amazing for the price!
DeleteDanke für's Vorstellen! Golden Fawn ist definitiv eine gute Alternative zu Rose Platine.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße :)
gerne! ich bin froh ein dupe gefunden zu haben und kann das original jetzt beruhigter benutzen ;)
Deletedie farbe gefällt mir sehr gut :)
ReplyDeleteund für 7€ ist der eyeliner von avon sicher eine gute alternative!
auf jeden fall! ;)
DeleteFreut mich sehr, dass er dir gefällt :) Ich bin noch immer glücklich mit meinen Eyelinern
ReplyDeletevielen dank für den tipp!
DeleteIt's pretty and I've heard a lot about it, but I have VERY oily lids and small, watery eyes, so I don't think this eyeliner would last very well on me :/
ReplyDeletei also have a huge problem with pencil liners. not only my lids are oily, they're also hooded to i get a "sexy" stamp of the liner on the upper part of the lid. i can only use pencil liners on the lower lashine or almost-tightline-close to the lashes :(
Deletewow super scöne farbe!

vielen dank!
DeleteWow der Look ist wunderschön!
ReplyDeleteEs geht zwar in diesem Post um den Eyeliner bin aber ganz verliebt in deine tollen Lippen.
danke ^^
Deletei have very oily eyelids and still have not found a pencil liner that does not smudge.
ReplyDeletedo you hve any recommendations on what works for you when tightlining? even MAC blacktrack smudges for me.
i also haven't found the holy grail yet when it comes to pencil liners. i use MAC Blacktrack for tightlining just as you, i also experience some smudging so my best tip is to just tightline on the center of the lids above the pupil and leave the inner and outer corner free of product. if you smudge a tiiiiiny bit of liner into the roots of the lashes in those areas, it will still give you a full effect of tightlining but prevents you to get black smudges on the outer corner throughout the day (i have described this method in my ulzzang makeup tutorial).
Deletei hope you will try this method and that it will help you!!!
Thanks !
DeleteDanke für diesen wundervollen Tipp! Ich suche auch schon eine Weile nach einer dem Rose Platine ähnlichen Farbe. Nun habe ich sie gefunden! Habe gleich nach Lesen deines Blogposts bestellt und schon das erste AMU damit geschminkt. Ich bin sehr, sehr glücklich mit dem Ergebnis. Ich habe nämlich meinen Rose Platine auch nur selten benutzt, obwohl er so wunderbar ist und zu so vielen Looks passt.
ReplyDeleteBei mir hält der Golden Fawn übrigens bombastisch. Kein Smudging, nur ein paar kleine Glitterpartikel sind ausgerissen. Deshalb habe ich auch gleich Blackberry und Plumful geordert. :-D
Vielen Dank für die wirklich kompetenten Reviews hier auf deinem Blog!
(Dein handgeschriebener Brief ist eines der schönsten Postings, die ich je auf einem Blog gelesen habe.)

Deletees ist eine unglaubliche ehre für mich, dass du das sagst.
es freut mich sehr, dass dir dieser liner nach probieren so gut gefällt! ich möchte auch noch ein paar andere farben probieren ;) ich wünschte Avon wäre leichter zu haben in deutschland. in amerika haben sie ja diese tolle Mark. eyeshadow linie, die ich total gerne probieren möchte.
This is so pretty! Golden shimmery eye products are my guilty pleasure... I have so many but I can't stop buying more! I love how this is a cheaper alternative to Chanel... do you know if Avon is available in HK? Or if they're sold online?
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I love the color! It looks very natural and light. Great for everyday wear for it brings out natural beauty. I believe that simplicity is beauty. Less make up will do. I find Avon products very affordable so i will definitely get this one.
