Aqua Eyes by Make Up For Ever Review | Waterproof Eyeliner & Shadow In One

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Makeup for ever aqua eyesMake Up For Ever Aqua Eyes is a is a eye liner and shadow in one. It is a waterproof formula that is designed to resist fading or running.

The pencil comes in a wide range of colors, so hopefully there will be a suitable shade to match any skin tone and personality.

Ladies from Amazon had mixed comments about Aqua Eyes. Some think its a brilliant formula that stays put all day with no smudging. They also like that its waterproof.

Other users seemed to have the opposite effect with this pencil. They found that it ran after a few hours giving them dark circles under the eyes. Some ladies found it didn't go on smoothly and tugged on their skin.

I don't know about you but I'm in 2 minds about trying it and it doesn't help that it is a little over priced too!
