    hey,

    I love your blog! it helped me so much with picking up the right products spacially when it comes to knock offs.

    I’m facing this problem that I can’t seem to find a solution for which is: I love using black pencil eye liner for lower lids but after awhile it smuges and I end up with panda eyes, what is the best kind of product I should use to create perfectly lined lower lids??
    Thank you!

    Hi Phyllis! This is beautiful! You noted you used Vex in your crease? It looks alot darker since Vex is a really light beige color? Is it really Vex? =) I want it!!

  • Reply Phyllis May 22, 2009 at 11:30 pm

    Gela,

    Vex is not a light beige color. It is a frosty “soft pale green duochrome with pink opalescent shimmer” and it shows up gray/taupe on me.

    Thanks Phyllis! The mac website looks like its a light beige on the color swab. I think I’ll take your advice and go buy it in store. =) Love the way it looks on you!

    I really like the looks you’ve posted for Asian eyes. Do you have a recommendation for a substitute for Pollen since it’s not available any more?
