Watching even a moment of the the Academy Awards results in me wanting better eyeliner.
True story. I am making a preemptive strike.
Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner 3-Piece Set w/ Bonus
What is it: This four-piece collection has everything you need to make your eyes stand out: long-wearing liner, mascara, and the perfect brush for lining eyes. Dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested.
Who is it for: Anyone who wants to play up their eyes--and anyone who wants a liner that resists smudging and smearing.
Why is it different: The liner formula delivers subtle to dramatic looks that are easy to apply, long-wearing and resistant to smudging or fading. The brush hairs of the ultra fine eye liner brush are finely pointed and tightly packed for precise application of gel-based liner. And, the mascara is a great everyday formula that lengthens, thickens, and defines without flaking, smudging, or clumping.
How do I use it: To apply liner, dip tip of eye liner brush into eyeliner; be sure to coat both sides of brush head. Wipe off any excess on tissue before applying to eye. Then, apply in short, even strokes close to lash line, from inner to outer eye corner. Work quickly as product becomes transfer-resistant once dry.
To apply mascara, hold the mascara wand parallel to the floor and brush from base of lashes to tips. Roll the wand as you go to separate lashes and avoid clumps. Apply two to three coats of mascara.
