Sephora Baby Blues Contour Eye Pencil ($10.00 for 0.04 oz.) is described as a “light blue.” It’s a light, bluish-gray with a metallic finish. It had semi-sheer color coverage in one stroke that was buildable to mostly opaque color coverage. The consistency didn’t drag or tug on the lash line, but it could have applied slightly more evenly. It wore well for ten and a half hours on me (out of the twelve claimed). I really like how unique it is (relative to what I’ve come across). MAC Heirloom (P, $16.00) was the only remotely similar shade I could think of, but it is purpler. It did remind me a lot of Urban Decay Strip Eyeshadow. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Sephora Sailor Suit Contour Eye Pencil ($10.00 for 0.04 oz.) is described as a “navy blue.” It’s a brightened navy blue over a blackened base with a pearly shimmer-sheen finish. It had so-so pigmentation in one stroke, but it built up to fully opaque color with two layers. This shade stayed on well for ten hours. Marc Jacobs Beauty (Wave)length (68) (P, $25.00) is lighter. Buxom Pick Me Up (P, $17.00) is similar. Urban Decay LSD (P, $19.00) is warmer. MAC Blue Stripe (LE, $16.00) is darker. MAC Petrol Blue (P, $15.00) is more sparkly. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Sephora Suede Shoes Contour Eye Pencil ($10.00 for 0.04 oz.) is described as a “petrol blue.” It’s a muted, blackened blue with a hint of green–it’s not enough to be teal, but it’s a “warmer” blue–and a satin finish. It had decent color payoff in a single pass, and it was buildable to fully opaque, smooth color in two passes. This shade wore well for ten hours. Marc Jacobs Beauty Midnight in Paris (LE, $25.00) is more shimmery. MAC Black Ivy (LE, $16.00) is greener. Tom Ford Beauty Exotic Teal (LE, $35.00) is brighter. Urban Decay Mainline (P, $19.00) is brighter, bluer. Urban Decay Invasion (P, $19.00) is greener. MAC Midnight Blues (LE, $16.00) is warmer. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Wow! Your sailor suit worked! Mine broke and refused sharpening, making a total mess, but the baby blues was lovely! I guess it depends on the batch.. These all swatched really well! I won’t be purchasing again, though, because as Forrest Gump said.. 😉 And I likey my Marc Jacobs! 😀 L’oreal performs better than Sephora, IMO. Actually, many drugstore brands do!

I’m a sucker for blue eyeliners, and Suede Shoes’ tone is just the blue I reach for every occasion. So beautiful and classical! I’m totally in love with it!

Curious as to why they’re called “contour eye pencils” and not just “liner?” Is it just a cool way of saying the same thing? I suppose you’re contouring your eye when you line it…

Thanks for this, Christine! I adore blue/violet eye shadows and liners, and Baby Blues turns out to be an almost perfect match for my Inglot #429 eye shadow! I only get into Sephora about once a month, but I was there yesterday, swatched it, and snatched it up. Sailor Suit is still on my wish list, I rationalized that I already have the eyeliner in My Boyfriend’s Jeans and the Too Faced one in Perfect Navy and let myself get seduced by Fairy Tale to go with a MUFE ME304, Urban Decay Dragon and Inglot DS610 (OK, so I also love true green eyeshadows!)
