Holiday Beauty Part 1: Hide the Black Liner, Bring in the Navy

I wanted to type 'throw out the black liner' but then even I knew the absurdity of that statement. I changed that statement so that I would still be allowed entry into India.

When I was younger and practicing the art of make-up, my friend's younger sister would ask me bewildered: "What's the point of make-up if you can't tell you're wearing any." I was in high school and not allowed to wear anything and the few times I got to borrow my friends' make-up (insert eeewww noise here), I had to do it subtly. The point of this confession is that sometimes, we need to step out of the box a bit, and navy liner is something every, and I mean every, brown-eyed girl needs.

A deep, smouldering navy liner is perfect for the holidays (and upto your deathbed-trust me on this one). No brown-eyed girl should ever be without it. It makes the whites of your eyes pop and it somehow brings out gold and amber undertones to my brown eyes. And don't worry, it's subtle enough that you won't be jarred.

My favourite navy liners are:

Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in 3L

This is a beautiful iridescent navy pencil that stays put through a rainstorm (was wearing this once during a very bollywood moment where I was trying to be glamorous in the rain; luckily I was alone), a bit of crying after watching UP! (great movie by the way), and even a short nap. It's my go-to navy liner that I had to replace as I have worn my old one to a stub. As this is slightly more on the navy side than a blackened navy, you can always tone downt he look with black eyeliner or eyeshadow if you please.

Kevyn Aucoin The Precision Eye Definer in Dazzle


This looks as navy as the 3L pencil only it's a lot more deep and black. I would say that this is for those amongst the brown-eyed that are a bit trepidacious or are possibly in the process of writing concerned emails to me telling me that I should take one and only one of that little pill no matter how pretty it is. In all seriousness, this cream liner is great if you want that hypnotic gaze you get with navy liner without stepping too far from black. It looks more blue in the pot than it does on the skin. It also wears really well and is a great holiday/everyday essential.
