Velvet Love Eyelinerblyant (Metallic Hasselbrun)

Metallic hazel sounded intimidating, but the creaminess of this pencil glides on so smoothly that one stroke genuinely gives that dramatic payoff. It's my new go-to for a quick evening look without any tugging.

I was nervous metallic eyeliner would look harsh, but this hazel shade blends into a soft, warm definition that's surprisingly wearable for daytime. The gel-like formula stays creamy through my whole lid routine and doesn't drag, even on my hooded eyes.

Glides on so smoothly that I barely felt the pencil against my lid, and the metallic hazel gives just enough shimmer for a subtle evening look. It stayed put through a long workday without smudging, which is more than I can say for other eyeliners I've tried.
