5 Eyeliners You’ll Love
Eyeliner is one of the trickiest cosmetics to master. It’s also the one piece of makeup that will intimidate novices and masters alike. All it takes is one wrong move to mess you up and force you to start from scratch. The real trick to eyeliner success is all in the hand(which comes with practice)…and a great eyeliner. Lo and behold, I found five fabulous eyeliners that are easy to use and fun to wear. Check them out below!
1- Too Faced Lava Gloss Eyeliner in extreme black gloss $16.50 at Beauty.com
I’m not a fan of most pencil eyeliner but Too Faced Lava Gloss is so soft and easy to use. It’s not the kind of liner that will cause you to tug on your eyelids during the application, it’s the kind of liner that goes on smooth. I love it but there is one small caveat, its real easy to smudge. While I realize that this is actually a plus, for me it makes it a little easier to mess everything up.
Hot Beauty Tip: don’t draw the liner on your eyes, instead you should create small dots right above your lash line and then blend it with an eyeliner brush.
2- Tokidoki Perfetto Eyeliner $16.00 at Sephora
What looks like a cute little artsy pen is actually a waterproof liquid eyeliner. Tokidoki Perfetto Eyeliner features a perfectly pointed tip that only makes the application process more precise and virtually fool-proof. It also comes in a wide array of fun colors like Rodine Love(white), Donutella, (medium pink), SANDy(dark green), Ciao Ciao(periwinkle), Carina(eggplant), Sabochan(black), Arlecchino(dark blue), and the exclusive Captain Banana(rich chocolate).
Hot Beauty Tip: Here are three eyeliner tips from Sephora:
-Thin: use the point of the tip for a slender, exact line
-Medium: hold pen at a slight angle to create a bold, thicker line
-Heavy:hold the pen horizontally and color over the eyelid area for an eyeshadow like coverage.
3- L’Oreal HiP Studio Secrets Professional Kohl Eyeliner($6.60 at eCrater)
This eyeliner is a little different than anything else I have tried before but I can’t really categorize it. It’s not liquid, it’s not pencil, it’s not even a cake eyeliner but it works great. Unlike a lot of liners, this features loose kohl to create an iridescent shimmer. It comes in a small plastic container and features a slightly pointed applicator. L’Oreal HiP Studio Secrets Professional Kohl Eyeliner comes in six amazing shades including Black Kohl, Brown Kohl, Gold Kohl, Burgundy Kohl, Teal Kohl, and Navy Kohl.
Hot Beauty Tip: Apply the black or brown kohl eyeliner as usual on your upper and lower lines, and apply the gold kohl liner in the inner-rim to open up your eyes.
4- Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liner($18.00 at Sephora)
Love glitter? Paint yourself pretty with Urban Decay’s glitter liner. This liner is a mix of glam and punk rocker- it’s the perfect choice for the nights(or days) you want to really stand out! It also comes in a variety of fun colors like Air Guitar(blue), Baked(gold bronze glitter), Catfight(bright pink), Distortion(opalescent pearl), Glam Rock(silver), Groupie(pale pink), Metalhead(dark purple), Midnight Cowboy(beige), Mullet(green), Spandex(pewter), and Stagedive(bright turquoise).
Hot Beauty Tip: Electrify your look by applying an ultra-thin line on your upper eyelid starting at your inner-corner then taking it just past the outer-corner to create a line that goes just past the corner of your eye to create the cat-eye effect. Then apply another thin line on your waterline.
5- Bobbi Brown Ink Liner($24.00 at Bobbi Brown)
Have you tried Bobbi Brown’s latest eyeliner? It’s an awesome product that’s essentially just a liquid liner in a pen. The amazing thing about this one is that it features a soft felt tip applicator which makes it go on smoothly. The only downside to this product? It comes in one color: Really Black. I’m hoping that Bobbi will create a collection of Ink Liners in more colors like gold, brown, and blue.
Hot Beauty Tip: Take the eyeliner pen and press it gently on your upper eyelid starting at the inner-corner and glide it over to the outer-corner. Repeat that step to create a thicker line, then take an flat liner brush and gently smudge it to meet your eyeshadow, apply mascara, and you’re done!
Getting Fresh With Marc Jacobs
One of my most favorite designer fragrances is Marc Jacobs Daisy. What can I say? I am a sucker for equisitely femme fragrances with notes of violet, strawberry, gardenia, ruby red grapefruit, musk, jasmine, white woods, and of course daisy! But his latest fragrance for her, Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh, takes those simple floral notes and intensifies it. This fragrance is like a symphony of raspberry, violet, wild rose, plum, cedarwood, grapefruit, pear, and apple blossom. Even the bottle was given a fresh makeover with a slimmer bottle and a cap that was cover with colorful daisies.
This fragrance is perfect for: lazy summer weekends and romantic nights frolicking about the town.
You can purchase Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh at Sephora for $70.00 and Marc Jacobs Daisy for $60.00
Lavanila Mini Roller Ball Set
If you have a really hard time finding natural-based fragrances, you’ll be pleased as pie to find the Lavanilla Mini Rollerball Set, just $34.00 at Sephora.
This small fragrance gift set comes with four healthy fragrances which come in convenient 0.17 mini rollerballs: Vanilla Lavender, Pure Vanilla, Vanilla Coconut, and Vanilla Grapefruit. Each fragrance features an essence of vanilla and zero synthetic based ingredients. You can store one or all of these mini rollerballs inside the smallest of purses for fresh fragrance on the go!
