Eye Love Wednesday - Trinny London Line2Define Eyeliner

Trinny London Line2Define Eyeliner - $40 - in 6 universally flattering shades: Levy - champagne shimmer; Chantelle - bronze shimmer; Bonzo - dark green; Samantha - deep indigo; Sabrina - rich brown; Shahroze - inky black - an

intensely pigmented, retractable eyeliner that is ultra-creamy on application but smudge-proof once set for instant and effortless definition. 

 

With a varied selection of neutrals and colours, there is something for everyone to love. I like the way they glide on smoothly - just keep in mind that if you want to smudge the colour you need to do it right away, when it sets, it really sets! I didn't have any issues with it lasting all day without moving or smearing but my friend who has an oily eye area tried it out and it would not stay put on her. She had to make sure to use an eye primer underneath in order to get the same lasting power so keep that in mind!
