Colour My Lines!

In Eyes, Favourites, Party time, Trend on September 1, 2010 at 6:00 am

I love, love, love winged eyeliner.  It’s just so hot on any woman at any time of the day.  You can extend the line at night for some extra va-va-voom or just wear it to the outer corner of your eye during the day.  The thing is, CCs, I cannot use a liquid eyeliner pen for the life of me.  No siree!

That’s why I was thrilled when I discovered Clinique‘s Brush-on Cream Liner in True Black.  It’s a little pot of highly-pigmented colour in a gel/cream form that you dip your (supplied) brush into and scribble over yourself however you like.  And if your brush goes dry there’s no need to buy a new one like you do with liquid eyeliners.  Nope, just pop that beauty back into the pot and we’re away again.

I simply cannot stress enough how much this little pot eases the lined-eye look.  The pigment is very, very dense and it stays put once it’s dry.  You just need to keep your eye-lids half closed and stoned-like for 30 seconds – to ensure there’ll be no smudging – before you open them up wide and marvel in your amazingness.

Clinique’s Brush-on Cream Liner also comes in Black Honey, Deep Brown, and Smoke Grey (which, coincidentally, is a perfect smokey shade for the winter day winged eyeliner when teamed with lashings of mascara).

RRP $37.

What great little time savers and ease pushers have you discovered lately?
