Line That Eye!
My beauty motto is “simple but outstanding”. With that motto in mind, I am not big on playing with colours on my face. The whole idea is to enhance my features, not put on another mask altogether. Whilst eye shadows are something I rarely put on, eyeliners on the other hand, play a big part in my beauty regime. Seeing that I have small ‘asian eyes’, eyeliners helps to open them up a little bigger, and create a deep-set eyelid which I so crave for!
A product I swear by (since 2005) is the AVON Glimmersticks Eyeliner.
Avon, unlike many other popular commercial brands such as Lancome and Estee Lauder, is practically unheard of in many countries. Their products are relatively inexpensive, but very reliable and is a trusted brand amongst many ‘old timers’.
Most people prefer to use liquid eyeliners. But to me, that requires a steady set of hands which I do not possess! I feel the need to have a hard solid surface against my skin, in order to ensure steadiness during application. Many years before, I have been using pencil eyeliners, which I find are very harsh on my skin. Even those I tried from popular brand names only produced the desired colour vibrancy after many times running the pencil along the same lines over and over. This action also caused my lids to turn red and painful! Not only that, they tend to smudge a few hours after application too!
Avon Glimmersticks Eyeliners are very smooth and easy to apply. One line through the eyelids is all you need to achieve a smooth, precise thick line. I usually wear it from morning at work, and it last through the night of drinking session after work without smudging! The retractable, self-sharpening stick also means that you don’t have to worry about not having a sharpener if you break the tip of the eyeliner.
Inexpensive, reliable and practical, Avon Glimmerstick Eyeliner is definitely a beauty product must-try and must-have!
