Top 5 Pencil Eyeliners

I don't know about you, but after a couple of hours most eyeliners make me look like a hot mess. Some are cool like that and have rock star fantasies, others may want a less smudged look.  So I have compiled my top five pencil eyeliners that don't give me raccoon eyes.

Bourjois Contour Clubbing- straight up pencil eyeliner, requires a sharpener. Smooth and lasts all day. Limited amount of colours. Waterproof.
Found: Shoppers Drug Mart $17 Cdn

L'Oreal Infallible- glides on smoothly and allows time to smudge and blend. Then stays put. It is a twist pencil, so no sharpener required. Limited colour selection.
Found: Most drug stores. Price varies

MAC Powerpoint - smooth application and great blending ability. Great colour selection. Expensive.
Found: MAC store $18 Cdn

Gosh Let's Twist- less smooth, but blends well. The urban myth is that Gosh eyeliners were tested on synchronized swimmers. All I know is this baby doesn't budge. Loads of colours. Great price.
Found: Shoppers Drug Mart and Murale $13 Cdn

Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes- gorgeous texture, no pulling. Blends beautifully and a plethora of colours. The most expensive.

Found: Sephora $20 Cdn

Let me know about other eyeliners that are mobile challenged. Thanks for reading.

Christmas Looks

This is the time of year where red lips and sparkle/glitter are the standards. Personally, I like to venture into metallics and jewel tones. Metallics are everywhere, especially with the Baroque trend - bring it on. Love me some rococo.

Easy way to wear metallics are through cream shadows. Depending on your skin and eye colour, silvers, coppers, golds and bronzes are gorgeous options for the holiday season.

• Maybelline Colour Tattoo- Bold Gold, Bad to the Bronze, Audacious Asphalt
• Bobbi Brown cream shadows- New Copper, Beach Bronze, Galaxy, Platinum

Instead of wearing red on the lip, why not try reds on the eye. Red tones in the form of burgundy, wine and cranberry are beautiful and wearable, especially if you have hazel or green eyes. Just remember to ground it with browns or blacks.

Suggestions:

• MAC Cranberry
• Nars Grenadine
• Make Up Forever Burgundy 141
• NYX Burgundy Pearl
• L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow Glistening Garnet
  
  



Other jewel tones like rich blues, emeralds and purples are options that everyone can carry off.  

• L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow- Night Blue, Purple Chrome
• MAC- Freshwater, Deep Truth, Humid, Club
• Urban Decay- Ransom, Graffiti

Have a wonderful Christmas and remember to have fun with your makeup.
