Barry M Shimmering Eye and Lip Crayon

I was on the barry m website a while back and was happy to see that their products were vegeterian, their eyeliner had also been mentioned in a few magazine of mine at the time and loads of celebs were meant to be using them. The next time I popped into superdrug I bought some (I was happy to see it is avalable in every store I have been to so far as it is hard to get vegeterian products). When I tried the product out I was very happy to see is was super creamy and easy to apply, not like most of the others I have tried which scratch as I apply it inside my lower lid. My eyemake up looked very sophis' and elegant...while it lasted. One ...  Read the complete review

After scouring youtube for make-up tutorials and finding one that used this product, I decided to purchase it on my next visit to superdrug. This retails at £4.50 and I bought in colour number one which is a pale gold colour. The product comes as a pencil with a thick, slightly soft tip. On the video tutorial, the make up artist had used this product as her base under her eyeshadow. However, when I have tried doing this, I find that my eyeshadow sticks to this base in some parts more than others leaving the finished look really uneven. Instead, I prefer using this product on its own to give my eyes a shimmering gold look which I think is perfect for summer. ...  Read the complete review

Now this is FUN! No spindly little eyepencils that slip about your fingers here, oh noo, they call this a crayon and they ain't kidding! It's big, chunky and perfect for the smoky-eyed look that's especially popular in the party season. I know because I just tested it - it lasted the night very well and hasn't gone all creasy, despite its soft application. It's ideal for the Bardot sort of eyelining - Jennifer Lopez is sporting a similar look lately, all smudgy black-lined eyes and pale lips, as is teen rocker Avril Lavigne for those of you not an old bag like me! Whether you like them or not, if you like makeup then this look is a bonus at ...  Read the complete review

These pencils come in a good range of colours and the formulations are excellent. I think these could be used by anyone, young or old as they are easy enough to use unlike shadow, with which you can expect fallout. These can be used as brilliant eye bases (for before you apply shadow) as they give eyeshadows something to stick to and you'll notice that your eye make up will look a whole lot better if you use some sort of a base. They can also be used on their own to offer a light shadow look, which is perfect for daytime and daily use. They can also be used as highlighters (the white and gold versions) for along your nose, in the corner of your ...  Read the complete review

BarryM shimmering eye and lip crayon comes in a variety of different colours, with my favourite being the light blue. I have been using quite a few of the different products by BarryM and this one has by far been the best for me. The actual crayon is very easy to grip onto, as it's so chunky. So you won't find it slipping out of your hand. The colour is really easy to apply, I use it on my eyes, not my lips probably because I think it could look a little bit strange. When it is on your eyelids it looks pretty good and it delivers quite an even finish. It doesn't sting your eyes or do anything dodgy like that to you, and the surface area of the ...  Read the complete review
