Running late, I had to put on my makeup in a car. The person I'm riding with was amazed on how I did my eye makeup. She had never seen Eye Shadow Pencils. So this blog is for her and anyone interested in traditional eye shadow alternates.
Traditional eye shadow actually gives me a headache that equal sinus or migraine. My eyes and talc have issues together. I don't know why. It took me few years and to many headaches to actually notice the link. Well when the silver line on the eye lids was very popular, I bought a Jumbo NYX pencil (yeah that it's replacement) at a local beauty supply store. Going out one night I did that look and noticed I didn't have a headache. Light bulb went off and I started buying pencils in the shades I wear the most.
Then I heard about eye shadow cheat sheets from Avon. The eye shadow came on tissue sheets already in the pattern you want. You pressed the sheet on your eye lid for a minute. Viola! Eye shadow done. I Loved those. But the story of my life "The stuff I really like or love, gets cancelled". But while they were in clearance section I stocked up. If you like animal prints Hard Candy has Eye Tattoos. Never tried them myself but if you do let me know. I know Avon SHOULD bring back In a Wink Eye Shadow Sheets. I liked them.

My eyes with Jumbo Pencils (what happen when I wait)

All of my Jumbo Pencils are inexpensive. I think Sephora is the most expensive. I'm graduating to gels & higher price pencils like Urban Decay, one day. I have some $$ in lip & face products but not eye. Hmm, Interesting. Some people use the pencils like an eye primer. But since I was tired of taking pain relief just to wear eye makeup I'll wear it as a shadow.
