KALOUR Macaron Pastel Colored Pencils,Set of 50 Colors,Artists Soft Core,Ideal for Drawing Sketching Shading,Coloring Pencils for Adults Kids Beginners

I wasn't sure what to expect for these pencils, as I was not familiar with this brand & the price was so reasonable. Received this set and Kalour's 50 piece Metallic Colored Pencil set yesterday. I have to say I'm impressed with these. They are not as "creamy" as Prismacolors which I have, but I didn't expect them to be at this price point. Pros: - 50 pencils for $19.99 is a bargain. - Nice range of colors, I would've liked less of the yellows and a bit more of the purple shades, but that's just personal preference, I'm sure others would appreciate the extra yellows in this set. The blue and green shades are very nice! - Can get a nice range of intensity just varying how much pressure you use, and it doesn't take a ton of layers to get a darker result. I also find that as they are not as soft/creamy as the Prismacolor (didn't expect them to be), I am not using as heavy a hand when coloring with them as I do with Prismacolors, so this is a plus for me (less hand fatigue). - I can see using this set quite a bit as the colors here don't really duplicate anything in the Prismacolor line, and will give me a broader choice of pastel shades to choose from. - Get alot of mileage out of the pencil before you need to sharpen it again. - Comes with a DIY Color Chart to fill in - I always make one for what I buy but Kalour including one (on a heavier paper even!), that also is large enough to be useful but small enough to tuck into the case is very nice! - Lightfastness rating, color number, & color name are provided on the pencils, the DIY Color Chart, & the inside of the box lid! - The exterior of the pencil is colored and is very representative of the actual color of the pencil! - Nice quality box for storing the pencils. Cons: - Kalour could've picked color names more reflective of the color of the pencil for a few of the pencils, e.g. "Peach" is more pink and "Cherry Blossom" is more peach (most cherry blossoms I see are the pink shade that is labelled as "peach"); "Flesh" I wouldn't have used at all for the obvious reason, I think another name might've been better to reflect the color of this pencil more accurately (maybe "Nectarine" or "Canteloupe" since Apricot is already used). - Not available open stock as far as I can tell, will be checking Kalour's website to see if they are there. Even so, the set is very reasonably priced and I foresee using these enough that buying the sets won't be that inconvenient as I'll be using these pencils quite often. I also ordered Kalour's 50 piece Metallic Colored Pencil set at the same time as this and have left a review on that product as well. Summary - great set of pencils, very nice range of colors, really good quality, and very reasonably priced. I will be buying more of these in the future. Happy Coloring!

Love these as an adult colorist.

Amazing color payoff, smooth application - I cannot complain about this product. The only thing I haven't done so far with these pastel colored pencils is sharpen them.

These colors are amazing and the pencils make smooth work

Very happy with these pencils. Easy to use, every bit as good as more expensive brands, which is why I give it a 5 Star rating. Maybe I would have been happier with the color range in the next quantity up, but they are working nicely for my needs

I'm really happy with these colored pencils...I love the majority of colors in this set, they definitely feel creamy, most of them anyway... and as far as i could tell, only 2 pencils looked like repeats when used on the diy color chart...(Y027 Azure Blue and Y028 Periwinkle Blue) But that isn't a huge problem to me since i just look at it as having double of a color that i really like, it'll get used either way...xD I do feel that some will feel that soft beige and sand will look alike but i promise they're not... all the numbers and names matched where they were supposed to which is great too... also it's very important to take the time to use the diy color chart because the printed color chart inside the case itself is totally inaccurate, do not rely on that... the only issue i has with a pencil was my Mustard... the color kept falling out and a regular sharpener was not fixing it, i had to use the oversized sharpening hole for it to stop breaking, which was strange but alls well that ends well... now some of you may feel confused about some of the color choices and their names, for example, cherry blossom...i expected it to look a bit more on the pale pink side, however it's more like a light orange?... could just be me but it isn't a bother for me, i still like the color... I'll most likely buy this set again when i use up this one since it's a nice quality for the price when i don't feel like paying castle art or prismacolor prices...^-^...

I am not an expert... But I have a few different kinds of colored pencils. These are amazing!!! I don't have to push hard and hurt my hand to get rich color. I just looooove the colors in this cute case. I plan on ordering even more from this brand. In fact I already have 2 more cases coming lol what can I say? You have to get these and try them!! They sharpen like a dream. My other pencils just break the tip off when you sharpen them to much. I hope this is helpful if so give me a like. Thank you

Muy buenos colores, pintan bastante bien gracias a la cremoso y no se parten fácilmente,

Simplesmente perfeitos esses lápis! Podem comprar sem medo!

I bought this pastel set to supplement my other Kalour pencils for adults colouring. Excellent quality at an affordable price.

一般の色鉛筆セットには含まれることがない微妙な色合いが揃っていて、発色もまずまず…。価格もそんなに高くないので、とても良いお買いものができました。
