    About-Face

    I cannot emphasize enough how cool this matte eye paint is. It's super duper pigmented and creates eye-popping color with just one layer. It really does feel like you're painting a little masterpiece on your eyelids when you use it. I haven't done anything too bold (just a thick line of color under some black eyeliner) but I imagine it would be pretty easy to make paint cool shapes. Once you paint it on and let it dry, it stays all day with zero smudging.
