Today's eyeliner review is going to be on NYX Professional Makeup Faux White Inner Eye Brightener in Mint Cream and Baby Powder
Availability: These appear to have been discontinued.
Would I buy these again? Yes.
Notes: In terms of texture these are very smooth and creamy; they glide on easily without pulling or tugging on the eye at all. In terms of wear - I had both on for just about 9-10 hours - both works pretty decent as a base, I had very slight creasing but no fading of my eyeshadow, on the upper lash-line both stayed put as well. As for the waterline, both stayed put but faded slightly. I know they're intended for the inner rim of the eye but I wanted to test how they'd work outside of that parameter as well. Overall I'm very impressed, I really like having alternatives to a straight up white or nude on the inner rim of the eye but I like having colors that create a more open eye effect so these are perfect. I will say that I'm fairly uncertain that having multiple colors is necessary unless you're buying shades that are vastly different from one another (i.e.: blue and pink) because overall, they provide a similar-looking effect. Then again, at $8 a pop, I can't fault you for buying multiples either.
Mint Cream is described as a seafoam. I would say that it's a very pastel, nearly full-on white, minty shade. Frankly I would guess it's more white than it is mint unless I compared it side by side to a true white.
In this look I applied this as a base for my eyeshadow, on the upper lash line, and in my waterline/inner rim of the eye

Baby Powder is described as a pale blue. I would say it's a pastel cornflower shade.
Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.
Disclaimer: I purchased these myself.
