Review: Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes (2L)

I'm starting to love pencil sort of eye liners. I'm slowly but surely learning how to best apply them and without pulling my eyelides stiffly to the side. So today I have for you all another Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes in the color 2L. I know, I know; says a lot about the color, doesn't it? I was in the market for a really nice bronzey, brown because I heard brown is a really nice color to make blue eyes pop. Every brown I saw was kind of, meh and nothing to be excited for. I loved my Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes in 0L so much that I figured, why not take a look at some of theur browns and hazzah! I found it. I was debating between this and Bobbi Brown's Chocolate Shimmer gel eyeliner and all it came down to was wether I
wanted a gel liner or pencil liner.
2L is a milk chocolatey brown color with tiny gold, shimmery bits in it which I hope you guys can see in the swatch! The price of this lovely is $18 which I think is alright, but others might find a bit steep. The pigmentation of this liner is astounding. It's creamy and just deposits color like a dream. It's a lot creamier than the 0L black one which makes me grab for it more! It takes a bit to set, but maybe after 15 minutes it stays and doesn't budge all day long!

I'll be putting up a FOTD soon with this liner and MAC Arena eyeshadow so you guys can see how lovely they look paired together!

So what are your thoughts? Do you have any other Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes colors that you think are worth checking out? What name would you give this liner?!

    wow! I'm surprised with the pigmentation of that pencil! I for one am also biased towards pencil liners too as I find them easier to use and make mistakes with! haha

      Totally agree and I didn't even notice that! Liquid and gel liners aren't as forgiving as crayon liners! :)
