A good, well-done smoky eye is my favorite look for going out at night, but I admit, I'm not the greatest expert at achieving one. Sometimes when I do it, it looks good, and sometimes I just look like I walked into a wall. (Sexy!) Right now, my favorite product for creating a good one is Buxom's new Smoky Eye Stick. The Smoky Eye Sticks are basically eyeshadow in a stick form, but you can use it as a liner or a shadow, and once it's on, you can totally smudge it and blend it and make it look pretty much however you want. It has really great staying power too. Once you put these on, they're not going anywhere! And when they say waterproof, they really mean waterproof. (I tested them on my hands the first time just to see the shades clearly, and even after washing them several times and scrubbing at them with paper towels, the shadows were still almost perfect. (It was kind of crazy, actually. Someone at work saw the lines of shadow and asked me if it was a tattoo. Which... would've been a really ugly tattoo, but says a lot for the product!) I love all the shades too - there are eight in total, which usually means that there's going to be a few in the bunch that I don't like, but all of these are great (there isn't like, a garish neon green that you would pick up and think, "Who on earth would wear this?") My favorites are Bow & Arrow (a smoky moss), 5" Stiletto (a smoky plum) and Silver Sword (a smoky silver). I have a feeling this is going to be one of those products that I end up owning in every shade. (Don't judge - I like complete sets of things!)
