NYX Retractable Eyeliner in Silver

Lyn and I have been caring for our grandmother lately, which is why we haven’t been writing much – or getting enough sleep to have a sparkly glint in our eyes. I picked up a NYX Retractable Mechanical Pencil Eye Liner in Silver a few weeks ago and tried it out on my waterline.

I’m impressed. It adds a sparkle to the eye without being an overtly silver line, or too flashy. It covers redness well. It applies without a hint of tugging. I usually put it on and then fill in the corner of my eyes with Stila Kajal Eyeliner in Topaz – also a great, creamy, subtle waterliner. Used together, they make eyes look huge and bright.

 The first time I tried the NYX Eye Liner I was meeting with my trainer and I commented on how tired I was. He looked at me quizzically and said “I never would have guessed – and I can tell when you’ve been through the wringer.” This guy does not mince words when it comes to whether I look tired or not, and before I put on the waterliner I really looked tired especially in the eye area (I wear very little makeup to the gym – so it wasn’t a fruity hued lipstick or anything else that was coloring his view). After that, I was completely sold on this lovely and inexpensive liner to give my eyes a sparkle when I don’t naturally have one.
