Makeup Spotlight: Avon Glimmersticks Chromes in G204 Veluxe Bleu

Hello Awesome Readers~

Have you tried using pencil liners other than black? We've seen this all over the runway or covers and this has been a trend for quite sometime now. Others look good in it while others are not. This kind of eyeliner trend can be a bit tricky but if you know the right recipe then you'll rock this look in no time.



I decided to give this trend a try but i decided to keep it simple and took baby steps into it. I didn't go with bold neon colors yet, instead I found an eyeliner that wouldn't look so striking yet will give you that pop of color anytime you want to. Here is Avon Glimmersticks Chromes in G204 Veluxe Bleu. So let's get to know this eyeliner more shall we?

What are Avon Glimmersticks Chromes?

According to Avon website, Avon Glimmersticks chromes eyeliner is a pearl finish eyeliner with color-changing effect. It wears for 9 hours and it is also waterproof and smudgeproof. It is retractable and self-sharpening.

CONCLUSION:

Avon Glimmersticks Chromes in G204 Veluxe Bleu is a good eyeliner to try if you want some color on your lid. This can add a nice pop of color when applied. It's not too striking on the lid yet it gives that good flash of color. To avoid smudging the best way to do is to set it with a purple or blue eyeshadow. Avon Glimmersticks Chromes in G204 Veluxe Bleu can also be used as a primer or a base color on your lids. And for me the best thing about this eyeliner is it's waterproof formula. It is definitely a plus.
