Smokey Eye (part 1): Easy & Colorful

This week's post is about a product that I discovered recently and that changed my everyday make-up routine! Hopefully this will help all the ladies out there who struggle with their smokey eye!

The product is called Jumbo liner 12H wear - Waterproof from SEPHORA. You can obviously buy them at Sephora, for 15$ ;)
This stick is basically a big creamy liner that comes in a dozen of great colours, that you can blend easily and that LASTS. No crease, just intense long-lasting colour. Fast and easy, flashy or natural, I love it!

I bought 4 of them already and will eventually get the whole line. Here are all the steps you need to take to make a pretty colourful smokey eye in 2 minutes. A great day or evening look that stays!!

My favorite match to my red hair is the kaki one. It's great for everyday and just too fast and easy to do!


These sticks are really great to use alone, but you can always make them pop more by adding some eyeshadow on top of them. To make it look deeper, just use a darker tone than the stick you used, or black, and blend it in the crease! To make it look brighter, use a lighter color or something completely different like yellow and put it closer to the inside corner. And if you have the greasy-everything-goes-in-the-crease type of eyelids, putting some powder eye shadow on top will seal the colour in!



You can really have fun with your look and go for brighter colours, or use the more natural shades (that I didn't buy yet) like gold or brown.



Two minutes to apply, 2 seconds to remove.



The bright purple is awesome!



The black one is an essential in your make-up bag. You can use it alone for some sultry matte black effect, but you can also play with any eyeshadow on top of it for a deep and unique effect. I used some blue powder on top of the black, and it stands out so nicely!



Finally this is what the line looks like



Hopefully you ladies will use these tricks to play with your everyday make-up! I would also love to have your feedback on this product!

Have a great evening!
