You might recognize Ciaté London as a nail polish brand that ups the ante on trend marketing: the brand's caviar manicure was one of the first in the consumer market. The British label has made a name for itself in the obscure finish niche, from chalkboard manicures to liquid velvet lipstick. And with the recent acquisition of Olivia Palermo as a guest creative director, it is elevating from a fun, zany makeup line to a refined, wearable, everyday cosmetics force.
At a press event in February, editors and reporters such as myself were introduced to a variety of new launches, not the least of which was the Double Lines eyeliner ($20). Right off the bat there's the thrill that it's double-ended: one side is a pen for a gorgeous cat eye, the other a kajal pencil for lining the waterline or creating a "just woke up from a long night" effect (aka "the Kate Moss" look).
I'm sure you're thinking that this isn't reinventing the wheel. It's two types of eyeliner in one. Cool. But you'll appreciate how thick and sturdy the kajal (the South Asian term for "kohl") pencil is. It's perfect for lining your top and bottom waterline, but I use it mostly on the top to enhance my lashes. I don't fear that the kohl will break or flake into my eye or that I will poke myself.
The pen is similar in that it's sturdy: no flimsy felt tip here. It's thicker at the base, which means your liner isn't going to wimp out or streak, but it's tapered toward the end, which makes creating a winged eye with the stamp method a cinch. It's pretty much the one tool any rookie needs to complete a perfect cat eye.
Take a look for yourself to see why this liner is the cat's meow (sorry, had to).
