Dusk: An inky blue of hypnotizing richness. Dusk is at once dark and vibrant, smoky and bright. This shade evokes the churning sea, the twilight sky, and precious lapis lazuli.

ABOUT THE PIGMENT AND ITS USAGE: Dusk is created with the deep blue of ultramarine pigment. Historically ultramarine pigment was made from lapis lazuli stone ground into a fine powder, and this resulted in the rarest blue pigment used in Renaissance painting. Though it also beautifully reflects the pigment’s hue, the name ‘ultramarine’ comes from 14th- and 15th-century Italian traders referencing its origin ‘beyond the sea’ from mines in Afghanistan.

Like other mineral pigments, modern cosmetics-grade ultramarine is synthesized for safety, as mined pigments may contain notable levels of heavy metals. Ultramarine pigment is approved for use in the United States for eyes and face, but not lips. In the European Union, ultramarine is approved for use on eyes, face and lips.

Finish: Semi-matte

Texture: Rich crème

Aroma: Unscented

The Black Orb - Rituel de Fille

The Black Orb Enigmatic Kohl Eyeliner casts the deepest shadows, and smokes out into the darkest gaze. This cruelty-free formula is richly pigmented, deep, moody, and dramatic, and can be worn in a wide range of applications. Its mysterious jar invites creativity and allows for greater flexibility in application styles and techniques versus a pencil eyeliner. If you have searched as we did for the perfect inky, moody, dramatic kohl eyeliner, this may move you as much as it does us.

HOW TO APPLY

The Black Orb Enigmatic Kohl Eyeliner is neither gel nor powder, and its crème formula behaves with different properties. We recommend using your favorite brushes for application. For a winged eyeliner look, or a soft cat eye, we recommend an angled liner brush. To create a lived-in smoky look, apply with a smudge brush and diffuse out with a soft-bristled shadow brush like The Eye Soot Brush. With just a bit of practice, it can also be applied with fingertips for a smudgy, smoky and perfectly imprecise application.

The Black Orb is formulated to set without a harsh dry down. To best allow the film former to work its magic, we recommend applying in thin layers to allow the product to set, rather than doing a heavy single application. However, The Black Orb remains workable, which allows for a more forgiving application. The nonvolatile formula also ensures gentle wear on the delicate skin around your eyes. If you have hooded or extremely oily lids, you may wish to dust a layer of translucent powder on top after application to lock it in further.

    gorgeous deep blue

    The packaging is super cute and comes with a lot of product. I can totally tell this is going to last a long time! The application was smooth and there was enough time to blend if you wanted. Buildable from light wash of blue to deep and opaque blue.

    Not Quite As Expected

    Of the 3 eyeliners I own (Abyss, Iron, and Dusk) Dusk is my least favorite to the extent that I've stopped reaching for it. By comparison, it applies the sheerest, and on me the blue isn't nearly as rich as it appears in the product photos. No matter how carefully I apply, it's a struggle to get opaque coverage that isn't patchy, and it's the only shade that gave me issues with transferring.

    Perfect blue eye color

    My favorite Rituel de Fille product was a limited edition deep blue eye soot called Nightfall. This turns out to be a perfect replacement that can be used smudged for a smoky shadow look, or as a liner, even better! The only gripe I might have is the packaging, which is cool looking but a little heavy and hard to store.

    Dusk orb

    At first I was disappointed in the color payoff of this product. However, the second attempt I noticed it just needed to be manipulated more with my brush to soften up. Once I did that the color was very impressive and so smooth. The color was still vibrant after setting it with powder and it lasted throughout the day

    Great pigment, bit of a learning curve

    I really like the Kohl eyeliners from RDF, at first I was applying it wrong and felt I couldn’t get longevity but doing layers and setting with some eyeshadow always helps to keep it from moving but the nature of the product allows for it to budge so expect that

    On lips

    Tried this on lips. Cannot believe i did not think if it before. Works well enough and feels pretty good going on. Works well as intended eye liner and shadow of course. Very dreamy wintry color. Would rec.
