Thanks to its high-intensity formula that grips on skin for up to 36 hours, this  eyeliner  is waterproof and smudge-proof.

Inspired by the resins and paints of Renaissance art, this professional-quality  eye makeup collection features an easy-to-blend formula in a versatile colour range for creating endless  eyeshadow looks , from subtle to dramatic pops of colour.
