Marcelle Cosmetics eye look with Lux Eye Dust and Waterproof ...

It’s been lots of fun to dig deeper into the Marcelle Cosmetics line.  I really like their eye products – their mascara is terrific.  I also love their Lux Eye Dust ($11.95) and they have very nice eye liners with their Waterproof Eyeliner pencils ($10.50).

Marcelle Lux Eye Dust in Element

Pictured above is the Lux Eye Dust in Element, which is a rather unique shimmery silver.  The jar is pretty interesting – it has a flip top and there’s a hole in the middle.  You dip your brush into the hole to pick up pigment.  I find that the jar is great in that the eye dust doesn’t spill all over, but it can be a challenge to get enough pigment out on the first attempt.

Element swatch

The color is kind of a ‘dirty’ silver, it definitely has some brown in it.  This pigment is not super shiny but does have shimmer.  What I like is that it really adheres to the eyelid and lasts much longer than many pigments.  You can get very creative with pigments, mixing them into body lotion, nail polish, or even lip gloss (if the product is lip safe).  Luckily, the Lux Eye Dusts are safe for lips, eyes, body, wherever you want to put them.  There are ten different colors available, ranging from neutral beige to super charged green.

Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner in Caribbean

I also really like the Waterproof Eyeliners, which are a great find for only $10.50.  They have 16 different colors from which to choose.  These are soft, gel-like pencils that just glide on.  They wear great on the lid, and do a pretty good job on the waterline, although they don’t last nearly as long there.  Pictured above is Caribbean, a shimmering emerald-green.  I love this color, it’s really fantastic for brown or hazel eyes.  I don’t find that this color smudges on the eyelid, but it does seem to travel a bit onto my eyelashes.

Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner in Fairy Tale Pink

Another interesting color is Fairy Tale Pink, pictured above.  I have to be careful with pink or else I end up with ‘bunny eyes’.  But I find this color works very well for me on the waterline, it’s got a little bit of shimmer but looks pretty natural and opens up the eye area.  Here are some swatches:

Top: Caribbean Bottom: Fairy Tale Pink

While they aren’t anything particularly new, they are excellent, go-to eye pencils for a great price.  Here is an eye look for you:

Lux Eye Dust in Element, Waterproof Eyeliner in Caribbean and Fairy Tale Pink

I have Lux Eye Dust in Element on the mobile lid, with Caribbean Waterproof Eyeliner on the lid and Fairy Tale Pink on the waterline and lining the lower lash line.

Above is another angle with the same look.

Marcelle eye look, eyes closed this time!

You can see in the above picture how the Caribbean Waterproof Eyeliner doesn’t smudge, but it travels down the eyelashes.  It actually looks pretty cool in person, though – it really gives your eyelashes some depth and interest.

Overall, these are great buys and there are fun colors available.  If you are lucky enough to live in Canada, you can check these out at the drugstore.  The rest of us can order them online at MarcelleCosmetics.com .  – Lisa
