Chanel Stylo Yeux water resistant eyeliner in 88 Noir intense ($32)
The long-running Unsung Heroes series right here on makeup as well as beauty blog features a few of my all-time preferred long-term collection products.
I understand what you’re most likely believing (probably). “Karen, duuuuuuude! exactly how is it humanly possible to get excited about something as fundamental as one more black pencil eyeliner, let alone one that costs $32!?”
GIRL, trust. I didn’t want to autumn in like with Chanel Stylo Yeux water resistant eyeliner in 88 Noir Intense. In fact, if I had never understood it even existed, I most likely would have gone about my business completely material with my ride-or-die standby, MAC Smolder, however you understand exactly how it goes when you get that itch to try something new.

And that’s what occurred here. In the process, I discovered what I believe to be the very best DAMN BLACK PENCIL liner ON world earth — as well as potentially the universe. I’ve been utilizing it at least a few times weekly since April.
Now, you may be wondering, what the heck is it? — I mean, other than a liner.

The tips feel rather difficult to the touch however glide on the skin like creamy kohls without any tugging, so they’re simple to apply.
Unlike many creamy kohls, though, which scoot around on your eyes throughout the day, these don’t move at all when they’ve totally dried down, which take about five minutes, as well as that enables for lots of time to smudge as well as play.
They’re offered in a lot of colors in Chanel’s long-term line. Chanel likewise likes to regularly release restricted edition shades that make me want to decrease to my knees as well as cry with joy (like I did with Orchidee from the summertime collection), however if I might only wear one of them for the rest of my cat-lovin’ life…it would been 88 Noir Intense.

First of all, the black color? — it’s so intense! Not all black eye pencils look alike. Some have weird blue or eco-friendly undertones or look type of grayish black or brown.
Not this one. It’s straight-up black, like “black feline on a moonless night at midnight” BLACK. It likewise has an elegant matte surface that goes with just about anything.
Second, it doesn’t budge, whether on my lash lines or my water lines. when it’s dry, it’s stays put, as well as it’s the longest-wearing black pencil liner I’ve ever used.
Like, you understand exactly how with some liners when you line your upper lash line they’ll transfer to your lower water line when you blink? With 88 Noir intense, that occurs very, extremely little, as well as it’ll last 10 hours without any type of smearing or fading — none of that nonsensical crazy-bidness.
I believe that’s the primary reason I stated “Bye, Felicia!” to MAC Smolder (as a liner). Noir intense just scoots around less as well as lasts longer.
I believe I’ve most likely mentioned this at least a million times before (haha!), however my eyes are super sensitive, as well as a great deal of pencil liners drive ’em nuts. many long-wearing and/or water resistant products likewise leave my lash as well as water lines feeling tight as well as dry (it’s truly poor in winter).
But not Chanel 88 Noir Intense. I can stack this stuff on, as well as my eyes don’t water or turn bright red like a vampire’s (which has occurred before with other liners, as well as it was so, SO scary).
I wouldn’t go so far as to phone call it moisturizing, however I can definitely state that it’s one of the most comfortable eyeliners I’ve ever worn.

I like this pencil so much that if I were to lose it on vacation (perish the thought!), I would have to search down a Chanel counter. I like 88 Noir intense more than I liked the photo of Johnny Depp that hung on my bedroom wall in high school, as well as homegirl — I liked that photo A LOT. You don’t even know.
