Ah, flexibility… It’s good, no? GREAT, in fact, especially when you’re battling Channing Tatum on the dance floor, wrangling pals into last-minute dinner plans or, say, applying liquid eyeliner.
Honestly, without the flexible suggestion at the end of my far-and-away favorite LORAC Front of the Line Pro, my liquid liner cat eye looks would look like a hot mess. That flexible suggestion makes drawing straight, crisp lines much simpler for me and my in some cases shaky hand.

But because I suffer from chronic makeup madness (I believe that’s the medical term), I’m predisposed to seek out other options…
You know how it goes.
Which brings me to the four new colors in the NARS eyeliner Stylo line ($27 each).

Even though their suggestions are a little too firm for me (ruh-roh!), I wanted to test them with an open mind.
The four new shades — black Carpates, brown Nuku Hiva, navy Atlantic and grey Koala — are en route to narscosmetics.com, ETA August 1 (not sure if they’re also going to be available in stores).

Pigment? ពិនិត្យ Intensity? Check?
All four of these have both in spades, and I really wanted to love them, but for the life of me, I just can’t seem to make ’em work.
It’s that firm tip! in some cases it skips along my skin, doopdadoo, laying down pigment unevenly, and I spent a good 20 minutes today trying to coax a good cat liner look out of it this afternoon.
I will say this about it, though — it knows a thing or two about wear time. NARS says eyeliner Stylo will last 24 hours, and I believe it. once set, it doesn’t smear, smudge or flake, and when it comes time to remove, I have to pull out the big guns, aka MAC Cleanse Off Oil.
I give eyeliner Stylo big snaps for color and wear time, but the firm suggestion makes it a little challenging to apply (at least for me).
If you like long-wearing, pigmented liquid liners with firm tips, you might want to check it out.

Some food for thought…
I came across a blog post today that I really liked: 7 Viral videos to get You Motivated.
Some of the videos took my breath away, like this one about French highliners practicing their extreme sport between high-rise buildings in Paris…
This one here got me thinking…
…and this one made me want to go running all over the world!
