Milani Shocking Pink Eyeshadow

Milani Shocking Pink Powder Eyeshadow ($4.49 for 0.11 oz.) is a vibrant magenta pink with strong blue undertones and a very subtle dusting of silver shimmer. This might be one of the most vibrant shades I've seen, period, but particularly from a mass brand. Sugarpill Dollipop is...

Chanel Peche Cuivre Le Crayon Khol Intense Eye Pencil

Chanel Peche Cuivre Le Crayon Khol ($28.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a golden peach with a subtly metallic finish. It's actually very similar to Giorgio Armani's #5 Copper from the holidays--it might be the faintest bit darker.  This shade is one that is best as a brightener--it's the...

Chanel Sirocco Levres Scintillantes Glossimer

Chanel Sirocco Glossimer ($29.50 for 0.19 oz.) might look like a soft peachy gold in the tube, but it's virtually colorless on the lips. The base is mostly clear on my lips with a fine dusting of pale peach shimmer--it's very subtle, barely-there shimmer. From afar, it looks...

Do you do anything to set pencil eyeliner?

Do you do anything to set pencil eyeliner? Or does the formula you use last all day without anything extra?
