It is an ultra smooth formula that provides precision of a liquid liner and an amazing smooth finish. It is water proof, smudge proof and long wearing. The application is smooth and easy with a liner brush. The fluid line is such that it can be blended easily immediately after application. Works wonders for Smokey eye looks.

It comes in about seven colours.

Our Take – Works really well. Though one needs to be careful of the product drying up quickly.

Market price – Rs. 1000/- approx.

The two shades are Desert Dusk and Desert Obscure. The darker shade is a brown shade with velvety finish and the other shade is light beige with a frost finish. The eye pencil is creamy and easy to apply. It being waterproof and smudge proof can be easily be applied in and around the eyes.

The Trick – If you have small eyes and want your eyes to look big, apply the light beige colour into the lower waterline. Go with a darker shade on the lower lash line. This gives a larger appearance to your eyes.

Our Take –  It’s a high end product and is certainly expensive. Being beige toned it goes well with Indian skin tone and is readily available in the Indian market.

Price Range – Rs 1250/-.

We leave you with some tips for makeup in winters:

•  Dry Skin is a fact of winters and we all learn to deal with it in our own way. But dry skin plays havoc with make-up and we have to learn to deal with it also. To avoid the telltale flakes after the application of foundation be sure to keep your skin moisturized. Follow a regular routine: moisturize daily and exfoliate a couple times a week.
• You can also add a bit of lotion to your liquid foundation to get a smooth finish.
• Drink Lots of water as it helps in maintaining skin hydration, all said this is best way to a healthy-looking and glowing skin always.
