Bye Bye Raccoon Eyes

Thursday: Louboutin linen peeptoes

I don’t know what it is about my skin, or my tear ducts, or what, but it seems like the minute I leave the house in the morning my eye makeup starts seeping down, pooling under my lower lashes. By noon I either look like Robert Smith from The Cure or your local friendly raccoon. It drives me crazy, having to Q-tip off the rings under my eyes every few hours. And for years I just couldn’t figure out how to fix it: I’ve switched to waterproof mascaras, I’ve tried less rich eye creams… Nothing worked.

But I think I may have finally found a solution. I was at the Bobbi Brown counter at Saks waiting to buy moisturizer (love the SPF 25!) when I spied some little glass pots with all these pretty pigments in them. Eureka! Long-wear cream shadows! You paint it on, the saleswoman said, and it won’t peel off. Brilliant! Of course I had to take some home — as well as some long-wear gel eyeliner (same principle — takes a licking, keeps on sticking). And I’m happy to report: No more ring around the eyesies!

Of course, now I’m in the market for some extra heavy duty eye makeup remover…
