I LOVE the color of bamako. It looks ordinary purple, but it has alot of red tones (most purple liners are very blue toned) that really makes green eyes pop. However, it drags horribly and the...

This is probably the worst eye pencil I have ever bought. Don't get me wrong; color is lovely but this is so hard to apply - dry, hard, drags across eye, just awful. I have to "melt" it on my...

I had read the reviews on this before I bought this eye-pencil. I have green eyes and I had heard that this colour really makes green eyes pop. Well, it certainly does! The colour is an...

Aubergine is a good description - the swatches as Sephora and drugstore.com are not - the Nars site is pretty good. You can smudge it if you want to or you can leave it neat, and that's what I...

Top-notch product, only got an allergic reaction to it. Sales associate warned that purple pigments have that effect on allergy-prone people (like me) so be forwarned...

unique color, I love this with green eyes, try setting it with lulu shadow and then softening edges with either the purple from Tokyo or Blue angel or the smoky mauve from Charade for a sexy...

This is the most flattering color plum for hazel eyes I have ever put on. Everytime I wear it my eyes brighten up and all of a sudden, the green pops out. The problem with this pencil is that it...

NARS Bamako is the perfect dark aubergine eyeliner that stays true to color. Been searching for a dark plum that didnt look black or purple, and Bamako was the answer. I love to pair Bamako with...

This is an amazing plum liner! I have always feared eye pencils because of my sweaty lids (eek!), but this liner glides on smoothly and doesn't smudge. I was afraid the color was going to be too...

This is a great e/l for my hazel green eyes. It's a dark purple that really brightens up the colors of my eyes and goes well with my skin (pale w/yellow undertones). The only gripe I would have...

Very lovely plum eyeliner that borders on being ELECTRIC plum! When the SA first showed me this by applying it to her hand, I thought, "Are they kidding? Who could wear that without looking like...
