Nudestix

Oh, you should try it. I think it works better (at least for me) than any es primer. I have a small but slightly wide fluffy es brush & I lightly dust it over my lids. It really color corrects blue & red. I really love that it does not change the es colors.

I ordered Smoke eye pencil last night. I wish they get more of the lip & cheek back in. And, I would love to see a wider range of shades.

Well, sad to say that I'll be returning Bronze today. I used my best primer AND a bronze cream base eyeshadow (by Dolce & Gabbana, they are AMAZING when it comes to longevity/staying power-- I even use 'Nude' as a brightening eyeshadow base to make colors pop and it LASTS. ALL. DAY.) and the Bronze eyeliner pencil still began to crease minutes after application. It continues to break my heart because it really is a gorgeous shade of Bronze... I have A LOT of bronze shadows/cream shadows, etc. but something about the tone and depth of this shade enhances my brown eyes like no other. I've created a signature bronze smokey eye incorporating it, but now I'll have to return it in hopes of finding a decent replacement. It seems to stay decently on my lower lash line, so maybe it's best used as an eyeliner and not a shadow...

The shade reminds me of the rich bronze eyeshadow from the YSL Fétiche palette, just a bit lighter maybe.

The eye look was Bronze all over the lid, with the dark chocolate side of the Gucci Amaretto Duo in the crease and the light peach side in the inner corner. So simple but very smoldering and flattering on brown eyes. I had to return the Nudestix pencil, though. Like I said, it worked well as an eyeliner on my lower lash line, but my reason for getting it was to use all over the lid as Monsiieur Alex did on his blog, and it is SO gorgeous that way. It just looked SO UGLY when it creased, which happened inevitably 15 mins or so after application. It was heartbreaking for me.
