Cream Eyeliners

Post by lwoodall10 » Sun Jul 13, 2008 7:19 am

Hi,

I was thinking of purchasing some of the Cream Eyeliners, but before I do I wanted to see if anyone had swatches of them. Especially the Espresso and the Mahogany.

Thanks,
Susan

Hello, Susan,
I have this on my list for this week. It is a little overcast today, so let's hope for tomorrow. I am sorry I wasn't around last week to do this for you, but I was on vacation.

Hey Jen,

No problem, besides it gives me a reason to order some stuff while gift with purchase sale is going on. Thanks and Happy belated Birthday. I hope it was a wonderful day for you.

Susan-
Sorry this took so long. Life just gets in the way sometimes!

I loaded my brush pretty well to do these. I also found the matte colors seem to spread better. I know you are looking at the difference between Mahogany and Espresso. Mahogany does show up as a lighter brown than Espresso. I really can't say the shimmer is that noticeable, but just enough. If I wanted shimmer to really show with the cream liners, I would use a shimmery mineral shadow as my setting powder. None of these are set, so the Film Noir and Espresso seem to be picking up a little light from the room, rather than a sparkle in the liner itself.

I think each of these is so gorgeous. I have amethyst, mahogany, envy, and espresso, and the swatches make me want the rest!! Oh, and I have the clear, which I use as a shadow primer, as well as mixed with eye shadows for making my own great liners. These liners are definitely a wonderful product at an excellent price!! :)

:o I'm trouble now...I wasn't so sure about these cream liners, but now that I see them swatched I really like most of them.

Thanks Jen!

Susan , Fort Knox is AWESOME as a base for most of the warmer shades. It gives them a really neat dimension!

Teal would be Very Nice. in the meanwhile, if you have Poly, try it with the clear sealant - it TOTALLY rocks. I was a bit hesitant about picking that one up, because I can't wear a lot of blues, but Poly is absolutely stunning - even on me.

If you've got brown eyes, it'd be even better. There's a picture of Jen, I think in the TGIF thread, using Poly as a liner.
