You’ll Have Something to WINK About With Butter London

If I had to choose my favorite thing in the beauty industry, it would have to be experimenting with makeup.  I have always loved makeup because I love to experiment with colors (even hair color).  With Butter London’s WINK Earl Grey Eye Liner and WINK English Rose Cream Eye Shadow you can really bring out the artist from within.

Butter London’s WINK collection is made up of 8 eye liners, 10 cream eye shadows and 6 mascaras in many colors to experiment with.  The two I got to try were the Earl Grey Eye Liner and English Rose Cream Shadow, both very true to color and long lasting.  English Rose is a soft romantic pink cream eye shadow that goes on smoothly and lasts until you take it off.  Not only is it true to it’s color it also has a few specks of shimmer to it to give you a nice added shine.  When I used this English Rose for the first time I used it as more of a highlighter for my overall eye shadow look by placing it on the inner corner of my eye and just underneath my eye brow giving my look a little POP!

Now the Earl Grey Eye Liner, I have to admit, I was a little nervous to use because my eyes are so deep set that darker colors make them look even smaller.  I was wrong about the Earl Grey.  Earl Grey Eye Liner is more of a charcoal grey that goes on smoothly and does not look black when its on. I have tried many “grey” eye liners and all came out way to dark.  This grey was well grey when I put it on.  Just like the English Rose Eye Shadow, the eye liner goes on smoothly and lasts all day without smearing.  With my deep set eyes I have a little trick for using this eye liner.  I don’t go all the way from end to end on my eye.  I start at the outer corner and stop halfway on my eye lid.  This makes my eye appear larger.  Now as a little added bonus I use grey eye shadow over top the eye liner to give it more of a base.

When I first used these products  was afraid of my extremely sensitive eyes having a reaction.  I was safe.  WINK by Butter London is a very gentle line and will not cause irritation but if you are anything like me use it little by little. I always use a little at a time to see how my eyes will react and then if I notice what they do I will either proceed or stop altogether.  I had no problems what so ever.  So bring out your inner artist and try all the colors from WINK by Butter London and create your own personalized look.
