I used to hate eyeliner.  I'm not sure if I was horrible at applying it or if I was just not used to seeing myself with smoky eyes.  What does this have to do with eyeshadow?  Well, I've been using this Lorac Eyeshadow as eyeliner for a while now (as well as eyeshadow) and it has changed my view on eyeliner.

From the Sephora website: "This gentle, non-irritating formula is infused with rich botanicals to soothe and calm the skin. This versatile range of colors can be used to shade, shadow, and define - creating any look you desire."

My Experience:  I was trying for a new look for evening one Friday afternoon and had the good fortune to stop in Sephora when the manager was available to give a mini-makeover.  I told her what awful experiences I'd had with eyeliners and mascaras in the past, which was why I generally avoided them.  Then she recommended using this Lorac eyeshadow as an eyeliner.  I was worried that I would have an even harder time applying a powder.  I am happy to say, my worries were completely unfounded, and now I have a great eyeliner that applies easily and looks great all night without irritating my eyes. 

Tips:  Use a small, slanted eyeshadow brush.  Moisten the tip by putting it under slow running tap water, then blot thoroughly to absorb excess moisture.  Pick up a very small amount of shadow with your brush and line as you normally would, trying to fill in between the lashes.  If you like, you can use a dry brush to smudge it a little when you're done to get an extra smoky look.
