Long Lasting Nars Shimmer Eye Pencils and Clinique Even Better Compact Foundation

Finding beauty products that last all day, whatever they say on the tin, has up until now defeated me and believe me I’ve tried loads, but promises, promises, by lunch time a quick peek in the mirror shows what I suspect, that that early morning newly made-up glow has gone and something has disappeared.

It’s not that I want to look made-up, I always like a natural look, however I would like what I put on my face to stay there at least for most of the day.  So it’s been a happy surprise to try Nars’ Eye Liner Pencils and Clinique’s Even Better Compact Foundation because they do, trust me, last all day. 

Nars Larger Than Life Long Lasting Eyeliner comes in a shimmery brown, Via Appia, plus a number of other colours including black, purple and dark green.  The new even deeper slightly glittery Night Series eyeliners are in black with glitter cobalt blue - Night Flight, black with gold - Night Clubbing, black with pearlised forest green - Night Porter and black with pearlised purple - Night Clubbing.

They all glide on incredibly easily and stay put.

Clinique’s Even Better Foundation Compact is SPF 15, creamy, light and blendable when it goes on, and again stays put all day.  There’s a wide choice of shades.  I’ve tried a lot of compact foundations and this is by far the best so far.

Both are perfect for Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and onwards.
