In this video I’m reviewing a new shade in the OLENS Glowy Tear collection: Glowy Tear Charcoal. I’ve already done a full review on Glowy Tear Brown and Grey, plus a deeper “get to know the Glowy collection” video because there are so many variations, but Charcoal is the newest addition and I wanted to summarise the pattern and what it actually looks like on Asian eyes. The Glowy Tear design is meant to give that subtle, glistening “crescent moon” highlight effect, and I’ll explain how it shows up (or doesn’t) depending on the colour depth. To make it super clear, I wear Charcoal on my right eye and Glowy Tear Grey on my left and compare them side-by-side. Charcoal is basically Grey but with the contrast turned up: a thicker, wider limbal ring and a darker mix of grey tones with a charcoal-black inner shade, so overall it reads much deeper on the eyes. Because it’s darker, I personally don’t see the crescent moon as strongly (mostly at the bottom, not really on top), and it also looks more enlarging to me even though the graphic diameter is 13.3mm. If I had to pick, I still prefer the Grey because it looks more balanced and icy-cool on me—though I’m low-key still wishing they’d release a sapphire version because I’d be obsessed.
