Coming in 2010, we will have some great posts from guest bloggers that are experts in various areas.  One such guest blogger will be an award winning hair & make-up artist.  Until then, you’re just stuck with me and my thoughts!  Today, I thought I would share with you my cosmetic choices for eyes.  I have added each item to my repertoire very carefully over the years after weeding out products that were not right for me for various reasons.  The result is the products shown below:

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit

I like this because:  This kit includes Creamy Concealer on top and Sheer Finish Loose Powder on bottom to set concealer for long-lasting wear.  Retails for $32.00

Maybelline Expert Wear Eye Shadow Single in Vanilla (not the color shown)

I like this because:  I can use this as a brow highlighter, and all over my lids, keeping the eye shadow application down to one quick step.  Retails for $2.99.

Maybelline Expert Eyes Twin Brow & Eye Pencils

From the Maybelline website:  This has been the # 1 eye pencil in the US since the 1920’s.  This dual-purpose pencil works as defining brow filler and a precision eyeliner.  Comes two to a pack, the waterproof formula lasts all day.  I like it because:  the light brown comes closet to my hair color and the pencil feathers on and isn’t too thick or cakey.  This product looks extremely natural – I get complements on my brow shape and definition all the time.  Retails for $2.99.

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner

I love this award winning eyeliner for it’s staying power.  It goes on wet, dries quickly and as soon as it is dry, there is no smudging or smearing.  I use the color black ink.  Retails for $22.00.

L’Oreal Telescopic Mascara in Carbon Black

From the website:  For dramatically longer lashes with 2X the intensity.  Contains 2X more pigments than regular L’Oreal regular black shade.  I like it because:  The black is the darkest black available and that works great for my fine eyelashes.  The brush is great for lengthening and separating my lashes too.  Retails for $8.99.
