Long-Wear Eye Pencil

I will only admit this under anonymity on the internet, but there have been several times in the last year where I slept in my makeup. Yep, it happens. And I'm admitting this to illustrate just how transfer and fade proof this liner really is. The rest of my makeup was all over the place, on the pillow, smeared on my face. But the liner remained virtually exactly as it was applied the (gulp) day before. So yes, it's pretty long wearing and I find that it wears great during the day, too! Other things I like about this liner: - The colors are amazing, something for everyone. If black is too harsh on you, try the chocolate brown which will give you a lot of impact without being too cool toned. If you have brown eyes, the plum is amazing. It reads black from far away, but it's so warm and flattering. - Even though this sets after a while, you still have time to work with it. The formula is very creamy, so if you want to blend, you have time to do so without it "locking" onto your lid and being uncomfortable or unflattering to blend. - Actually works in the waterline/inner rim area. It doesn't run, it stays true and as someone with very sensitive eyes, it's one of only two or three pencils I can use without getting the dreaded red eye when using it on the inner rims. - If you practice, you can also use this sparingly and with a creme shadow blending brush (or a clean finger) for an entire lid or crease "shadow" that has serious staying power. One of the best smokey eyes I've ever done is just this pencil in plum all over the crease and lid very lightly and then full on as a liner. Bottom line: Great staying power, creamy formula that is blendable, but once it's set, it's there for a long time without fading. Great colors that are very flattering and can be layered over with powders or pigments.
