Shu Uemura Eye Crayon in Misty Brown and Soft Brown

Are you the kind of girl who doesn't have fifteen minutes to spend in front of the mirror every morning? Do you love super natural but still polished looks? If yes, then I think you'll love the Shu Uemura Eye Crayon in Misty Brown and Soft Brown (P1,375). It's a neat product that can work as an eyeliner or a cream eyeshadow, and you don't even need any brushes to make it work!

This is a good choice for girls who have no choice but to apply makeup in the car or (god forbid) the company/ school bathroom. :P It's super easy and convenient to use due to its creamy texture. However, it's not so creamy that it slides off and smudges messily. It pretty much stays put once you draw it on, with minimal smearing.

I really love the color combination, too! Misty Brown is a taupey brown that looks nice as a lid color or as a lower lid shader. You can actually just wear this on your lid then add Soft Brown (mocha brown with pretty reddish shimmer) as an eyeliner. Or, you can blend Soft Brown on your crease for a smokier, more dramatic look for evenings.

If you prefer to use it exclusively as eyeliner, prepare to get a hazy line that looks very pretty on the eyes. It doesn't scream "eyeliner" but you still get that natural-looking definition.

Soft Brown used as an eyeliner on the upper lids, and Misty Brown on the lower lids + waterline

It may take some practice to get it right (as an eyeliner) since this crayon is kinda jumbo, but you'll get the drift. Also, remember to warm up the tip with your fingers first before applying so it wouldn't drag.

Overall, great stuff! I'll definitely keep the Shu Uemura Eye Crayon in Misty Brown and Soft Brown in my kit. ;)
