5 Must-Have Eyeliners for Summer

I have a definite weakness for colored eyeliner! I love how it can add a pop of color with very little effort. Here are a few shades I’m loving for summer this year…

  1. Urban Decay Chaos — bold blue
  2. Marc Jacobs Beauty Ody(sea) — bright teal
  3. Stila Mint Julep — mint
  4. Milani Perfect Purple — sparkling purple
  5. Sephora Sun Tan — coppery bronze

Oh gosh you’re feeding my eyeliner addiction. You’re right they’re such easy ways to brighten up any look with colour, but then again, that’s why I am forever a lipstick addict as well 😀

My choices would be largely from Sephora….I love their new-ish waterproof contour pencils (or whatever the heck the name of them is) so I’d choose

Sephora Surfer Babe, Galaxy Girl and Eccentric Diva
Rimmel Emerald Sparkle Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Pencil
GOSH Metallic Brass (my every day/go to pencil liner)

For non-pencil, my new obsession is Nars Baalbek eye paint (thanks to Temptalia for bringing it to my attention). Part of why I like it is that it’s very close to 2 of my fave pencil liners – the aforementioned Metallic Brass and Sephora’s Diving in Malaysia as well as an old, LE greasepaint stick from MAC called Dirty)

Did you ever try the eyeliners from Essence? a makeup brand from Germany? They are amazing! Ever since I`ve tried them I can’t use anything else, really, much better than mac, urban decay, make up for ever… I strongly recommend it!

I love your blog! 🙂
