Jane Iredale White/Pink Highlighter Pencil

This chubby dual sided pencil is an easy tool for looking more rested.

The shimmery white side is lovely in the inner corners of the eyes (draw sideways Vs, or my favorite thing to do is a light dash along the lower lid until you hit where the lash line starts.) The pink side is a pearly petal, a great accent along the cupid's bow or smudged along the lid as a creamy shadow. You could also use either side along the cheekbones, making this a versatile item for traveling or freshening up in the late afternoon. And no matter how you use it, it contrasts beautifully with a (fake) tan, hastening the feeling (at least in Seattle) that it really is Spring.

Alima Pure Natural Definition Pencil in Patina

This isn't your average brown eye pencil. It's not matte or dark. It's a beige-d up brown with a shimmering cast that veers more silver than gold. 

And it's gorgeous, I'd recommend this to anyone. Anyone on the complexion spectrum would look lovely with this along the lower waterline, hazed out all both lash lines for a modern smokey eye, or just along the top line for a minimalist look.

Because it's both lightweight and versatile, this is a great makeup bag staple.
