For me it saves putting on mascara shinamae, which I only do if going out somewhere now, and suits me better. I think I got the pen from Feel Unique. smile

I have just looked on Amazon and it is quite expensive so might go with the L’Oreal cheaper alternative but the way you say you apply it is what interested me..?

I only use one colour, so buy the Boots No7 individual one.

If you don’t mind another suggestion from me, I dot black eyeliner very finely between roots of top and bottom lashes which doesn’t look overdone but makes a huge difference in emphasising my eyes. Best fine and long lasting (all day) one I have found is Hourglass gel pencil. Comes in other colours too.

I might have a go at that and will also try and find that gel pen, thank you..?

Hello Mazgg Bobbi Brown still does single colours. They are available on their website www.bobbibrown.co.uk. They have a range of colours, I use the matte eyeshadow in Taupe. Hope this helps.

Try Look Fabulous Forever for advice on colours to suit warm or cool skin tones. Though having said that I personally don’t like obvious ‘coloured’ eye shadow if you know what I mean. My colouring is similar to yours and I like taupe, which suits blue eyes. I have been using Maybelline 24 hour tattoo cream eyeshadow in taupe for some time, inexpensive and really does last all day.

I have recently had my hair cropped and need a bolder eye make up. I used to use Bobbi Brown powder shadow but they no longer come in singles . Their khaki was my favourite last time I had short hair but is discontinued. All pallets have a number of colours I would never use. My hair is silver, my eyes are blue and I have a warmish skin tone. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
