Le Metier de Beaute Precision Liquid Eyeliner


I have a very soft spot for eyeliner in a felt pen format. I learned how to apply liquid liner by using them, and that's a big thing for a registered klutz like me. The Precision Liquid Eyeliner from Le Metier de Beaute is as good as they come. It feels balanced and stable in my hand, easy to control and lets me draw the perfect line (mine starts hair-thin and thickens gradually to an almost wing at the outer corner of the eye). It holds forever with and without a primer and doesn't fade or flake, even on a hot and humid day.

Noir is my perfect daytime black. It's a bit muted and less glossy than Lancome Artliner in the same color, making it easier to wear and always appropriate, because the look is never too harsh. The excellent quality makes me reach for it often, and not having to fuss with a brush is an added bonus.

The photo above is the official Le Metier de Beaute fall look. Maybe it's just me, but I think whoever conceived it was way off. It doesn't convey the luxury and elegance of the brand, and would probably not make anyone run to Bergdorf and buy it.

Le Metier de Beaute Precision Liquid Eyeliner ($42) is available from Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, online and in store. I got mine at Bergdorf.
