Milani Color Brilliance Eye Pencils Swatches, Photos & Review

Milani Color Brilliance Eye Pencil Milani Color Brilliance Eye Pencils Swatches, Photos & Review

Have you seen the Milani Color Brilliance Eye Pencils yet?

I happened across them hiding out in a little Milani kiosk the other day, almost walking right by them. I don’t know HOW these have not been on my radar, but I am pretty sure my CVS never carried them before, which is why I am just now noticing them.

They come in I believe four colors right now (Black, Aqua, Green and Purple) and I’ve got three of the most colorful ones to show ya.

These liners have a very nice soft texture to them and have really great color payoff. They’re bright and fun and perfect for spring and summer!

As you can see, the color payoff is really very good and they are so fun.

Aqua is a bright metallic blue.

Green is a medium green with yellow looking flash.

Purple is a violet with a slight blue flash.

These are very soft liners and so they can leave little “pills” of liner behind if you press too hard with them. A light touch will get you better results.

I wore Aqua yesterday on both upper and lower lash area (not on waterline as metallic/shimmery pencils make my eyes watery) and they lasted a good 5-6 hours without having to do a little touch-up (mostly on the bottom though).

Overall:

If you are looking for a fun and inexpensive way to incorporate a bright liner into your routine for this season, these are a great buy!

Availability: CVS

Pricing: Around $4.00

What do you think about these colors? Are you loving a bright liner look for spring and summer this year?

    I like the green one the best, I think because I don’t have anything similar to that one, but they all look nice.

    I hadn’t heard of these before now either and I literally gasped when I saw the first picture. They must be mine! *maniacal cackle*

    All three of these are really pretty, though the green is my fav. *sigh* Somehow the few stores that carry their stuff only bring in the stock/base collections and never any of the new stuff. Regardless, I will keep my eyes sharp for these lovelies. :D

  • I’m dreaming up a look with all 3 of these colors together… They kind of remind me of a gasoline slick. :P

    • Hi sally,

      Is it still doing this? My site was down all week up until yesterday because I was switching hosts but everything should be fine now.

    I bought all three of these eyeliners over a year ago at my CVS when they were on sale one day. They’re fantastic! So, they’re not new, but it is a bummer that they’re just making their way to your area! (I’m in Los Angeles)

    I have to pick these up. They look like such fun to wear for the warm months.

    Will you post a sample look using some of these? I always love the swatches you do of bright or unique products, but its so hard for me to decide if its something I should purchase until I see it used in a full look :)

    • Hi JJ,

      I will try but to be honest, I can hardly ever find time to do full face pics these days!

      April 22, 2011
  • I have Aqua & Green. I love using them as a pop of color on the lower lashline. :D
