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

I love the variety that I found in this addition to my Kalour collection of color pencils. They are called Macaron because the colors resemble the colors of macaron candy. They are bright and as with my other Kalour pencils, they cover well and blend easily. They were reasonably priced. I recommend them with a 5 star.

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!

I use these with my daughter and we love them. The colors are so cute and work well. When I work on my art she will color and these are a cheaper alternative to what I normally use and I still enjoy using these in my art projects. I will use these with my mixed media projects so when I use watercolor pencils and markers and sometimes just want a pastel color and normal color pencil I will use these and work along side my daughter. I got her a bunch of Kalie color pencils while I use a lot of prismacolor pencils but honestly I will use either in a pinch and these work just as well.

Very buttery smooth, very pigmented without having to lay down tons of pressure, soft gentle colors, with super quality & thickness. Durability is good with these not quickly running down and constantly having to sharpen. Love these! I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because some of the colors are too close to each other without tons of variety. Would of loved to see more purple colors, and different varieties of pink, some of the sand colors are super boring but I do love the rest of the colors.

Pretty decent color payoff for the price! They sharpen nicely and blend well with other brands like prismacolor. Really wide variety of color, lots of different undertones

These are my fave!! I actually like these better than Prisma and they are way cheaper!! Gorgeous colours!

So smooth, they are so easy to color with you don’t have to press hard at all!
