bareMinerals Lasting Line™ Long-Wearing Eyeliners

I was super stoked to try out these new bareMinerals Lasting Line™ Long-Wearing Eye Liners. I've long been looking for pencil liners that create really pigmented, crisp lines just like liquid liners. I also love pencil liners that don't tug on the lids and glide like butter even on shimmery eye shadows.

The new bareMinerals Lasting Line™ Long-Wearing Eye Liners have the crisp lines and pigmented colors that I've been looking for in a pencil liner. Below are my swatches and review of these new pencil liners.

Lips: Flirty lips were created with a swipe of Too Faced Lip of Luxury Lipstick in Drop Dead Red.

Tarte emphasEYES™ Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eye Liner and Shadow Swatches and Review

I am not much into pencil liners except if I am tightlining or applying liner on my waterline. I am more of a liquid/gel liner kind of gal. I love the crisp, precise lines of gel and liquid on my upper lashline. This is why I was quite excited to try the Tarte emphasEYES™ Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eye Shadow and Liner. Tarte claims that this liner contains Amazonian Clay that lends deep color pigments while nourishing skin, reducing surface oil and improving overall texture for smooth application.

Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eyeliner Swatches and Review

I was able to play around with Tarte's Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eyeliner Duo and I am glad these performed just like my favorite gel or even liquid liners.  Tarte is known for their Amazonian Clay line.  Clay is deposited on the banks of the Amazon river where it is solar baked and harvested for this line.  Tarte claims that this substance is intuitive and skin-smart.  The fact that it is infused in eye liner displays such intuitiveness.  Oily lids?  Amazonian clay minimizes oil in and around the pores to balance skin and keep product in place.  Dry lids?  The clay hydrates skin naturally to restore moisture and keep product from flaking off. 

It comes in a variety of shades.  The first three were introduced in May of this year: Black, brown and plum.  Next shades available this month are navy and turquoise (so excited to try these!).  Lastly, the following shades will be available in September: Plum bronze and green.

Here are some swatches:
