5 of My Go-To Brightening Eyeliners

Here are some of the eyeliners I've been reaching for to brighten my lower lash line these days! I tend to use them on my lower water line, beneath the inner corner of my eye, or paired with a richer eyeliner. What are your favorites?

  1. Sephora Strawberry Macaroon -- a pop of pearly pink is an easy way...

Thanks for the fun, 2014! Here is a wrap-up in case you missed any of the top 10 lists this year, which doubles as my top 100 beauty products that I tried during the past year.

Worst of 2014: The 10 Most Disappointing Beauty Products

Worst of 2014: The 10 Most Disappointing Beauty Products

When I think about "Most Disappointing," it doesn't always mean all the Fs, because it can also mean formulas or products that you've come to expect A-level quality from that end up C-level (or worse!) quality, which is possibly more disappointing than a product that was never great to begin with....

Lipsticks | 2014 Editor's Favorites

A lot of new favorite formulas were launched this year, like Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy and NARS Audacious, which certainly made it extra challenging to narrow down favorites to a list of ten. As much as I love coral lipsticks, I found several non-coral colors that made my heart sing, too :)

Lipglosses | 2014 Editor's Favorites

I tend to like my lipgloss to be rather pigmented, and for the rare occasions I fall in love with a gloss that isn't pigmented, it's usually ridiculously sparkly. This list definitely reflects those preferences! :) I hope to hear from you about your personal faves!

Eyeshadows | 2014 Editor's Favorites

It was tough, but here's my list of favorites for individual eyeshadows (which means they aren't only available in duos, quads, or palette -- see Best Makeup Palettes of 2014 for those!). As you might expect, it was hard to narrow it down, and I'm a fan of variety and spreading the love around, so I...

Highlighters for Cheeks & Face | 2014 Editor's Favorites

Oh, boy, there were some beautiful highlighters released this year (I reviewed a little over 50). Of all products, highlighters seem to be a weakness for me. They're often products that I stow away in my basics drawer, which is really the most coveted of all drawers (for my makeup stash, that is),...

Blushes | 2014 Editor's Favorites

Bringing down my favorites to a mere ten--TEN!!--from over 200 blushes that I've reviewed this year was painful. There were so many amazing formulas and shades released this past year! To that end, I wanted to make sure to share the love (and not just choose ten from the same formula!), but I urge...

Nail Polishes | 2014 Editor's Favorites

I think there's a trend in my favorites this year: shimmer, dusty/faded/muted shades, and anything but classic red creams. I found myself loving quite a bit of Formula X and Zoya this year, and NARS' revamped formula had some nice shade offerings. I'm glad MAC reformulated their polish with a new...
