Bring out your inner charm and add more spark to your eyes by easily applying these products.
Eyebrow pencil
The legendary Viva Cosmetics Eyebrow Pencil is still an appealing beauty product after all these years. The pencil’s delicate structure enables you to easily apply it into your eyebrows. It has two colors: black and brown. Choose black to get that deep and natural black color, while the brown provides a light and almost reddish result to your eyebrows. Also, the color is long-lasting and sweat-proof.
Starting price: Rp 20,000 (US$1.50)
Concealer
The "coffee break in a stick" Benefit Eye Bright Instant Eye Brightener Pencil will freshen up your eyes even if you’ve had less than 5 hours of sleep. It comes in a fat, elegant pencil that can be sharpened. The concealer has a creamy texture, making it is easy to blend into your under-eye area. Also, it suits all skin-tones and leaves a glittery effect on your eyes.
Starting price: Rp 100,000

Eyeliner
If you want to have effortless liquid eyeliner, perhaps you should sample Koji Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner II released by renowned Japanese model Tsubasa Masukawa. The product comes in two different colors: deep black and brown that contains honey extract to keep your skin moist. It has a smaller size with a slim and pointy brush head on top that will simplify you in creating a line over your eyes. Also, it is conveniently waterproof.
Starting price: Rp 200,000
Mascara
Those seeking intense and curly eyelashes without having to use eyelash curlers may try Lancome Hypnose Star Show-Stopping Volume Mascara. The waterproof product has both flat and rounded sides on its brush. It consists of only one color, noir midnight, that will make your eyelashes thicker. The product also lasts longer and is great for those who have oily skin.
Starting price: Rp 450,000
Eye shadow
Naked Urban Decay3 is one of the eye shadow palettes in the market that you should try. It comes in a chic packaging that also includes a double-ended applicator. The palette consists of 12 pink to rosy colors that are suitable for daily use or smoky eyes. The color blends easily into your skin -- available in matte, satin, or micro-glitter finish -- although sometimes it is better to use an eye shadow primer first. (kes)
