A fresh look for eye makeup

After previously posting about Bobbi Brown's Long Wear Gel eyeliner in January, it now seems the perfect opportunity to review my new shade of this wonderful product - a dark green called Ivy Shimmer Ink. Its a great fresh new look for your eye makeup; a subtle change that will work well from spring through to summer when you don't want to wear heavy black liner on your eyes. So far I have worn it with metallic gold and taupe eye shadows, and I think it helps bring out the colour of my eyes (see below).

One slight downside is that I don't think it lasts quite as well as the black shade, I have found the colour to wear off slightly. Don't let it put you off as its still a great product.

I apply it with the Ultra Fine Eyeliner brush, again from Bobbi, as this gives a thick enough line to be able to notice the gorgeous colour.

Take a look at Bobbi Brown's website to see the other shades in the collection - I think the purple shade will go great with brown eyes.
