the mossy piglet

So you know that whole glossy eyelid trend? The one where your eyes look gooey and shiny on top? For a while I’ve been attempting to achieve that by smearing clear lip gloss on top of my eyeshadow. However, this led to a lot of problems: the gloss was weighing down the lids, it would run and seep into my eye which made everything blurry, and it wasn’t really something I could pull off in an active environment. But after shopping around Sephora today, they had a new stock of Milk Makeup which revealed to me, the Eye Vinyl!

Here are some comparisons to when I just applied an Inglot pigment dry onto my eye (okay for full disclosure I didn’t even use primer beforehand, which makes a huge difference, but still) and when I applied the Eye Vinyl, dabbed pigment on, and then reapplied the it on top where the pigment had dulled it:

You can see the sheen! She’s glistening and beautiful! It also made for a subtle look when I applied it clear onto the eyelid, which was never something I’d wanted to try but now love. This transformation would be even more dramatic with one of their liquid pigments, which created this creamy texture that was fully and completely saturated with color when I swatched it.

Pros: it wears easy on the eyelid, lasts a decent amount of time (probably longer if you use eyeshadow within the brand), doesn’t melt into your eye like lip gloss, easy application

Cons: kind of expensive for the amount of product ($20), is still sticky so fly away hairs will cling to your eyes
