Got Any Grrrrapes!


It's been difficult for me to find an eyeliner that looks natural. Black is way too dramatic, and brown, well, even brown can look too "done up".
I needed something for ever day where people looked at me and think "Wow, she doesn't have any makeup on and she looks FABULOUS" Ok, well, no one would really be thinking that, but hey, a girl can dream.
I have come to find that the plum colors looks more natural on me than brown.
So on a recent outing to Lord & Taylor I stopped by Clinique and looked at eyeliners. I'm partial to eyeliners that you do not have to sharpen because convenience is key to me. I don't want to waste time sharpening an eyeliner, I want it ready when I need it. The saleslady showed me
Quickliner for Eyes
First she brought out Violet, too dark, WAY TOO DARK.
Then she brought out Grape! PERFECT! PERFECT! It looks totally natural on me. It's a great pencil because it is a twist up pencil PLUS it has a smudger on the other end.
I am a huge fan of this color, it's just grape enough so I don't look overdone when I'm running into my 9 AM meeting!

They have several different shades, so pick out the right one for you!

I remain yours,

Isn't a sharpened pencil too dangerous to line one's eyes with? Or is the material so soft, it's not an issue? These are the things guys are curious about!

Glad you found this though:)

Mooch,
Don't you remember when I gave you the makeover? The eyeliner I use was sharpened and it didn't hurt your gorgeous doo doo brown eyes at all
