Wow. Both of those are gorgeous. Blue is my absolute favorite color. I was never into lancome before, but I might have to check this out at least.
2. ines & cha cha said, on July 16th, 2009:

I LIKE. borat style.

i usually i don’t buy lancome too much (exception: rouge sensation in jezebel)… but i LOVE navy blue and what it does for my pale skin and brown eyes!

so… I was uninterested in (too broke to consider) this collection until I saw the artliner–I was thinking it was the felt tip pen style, which I love but it never lasts on my eyes. Now gel liners… *sigh* (starts counting pennies…)
5. Karen said, on July 16th, 2009:

Hi Sdpfeiffy,

Yes, girl. The gel liners get me every time. Sigh! Which ones are your faves?
6. Karen said, on July 16th, 2009:

Hi Tali,

Thanks! Do you think you might get anything from this release?
7. Karen said, on July 16th, 2009:

Hi Ines & Cha Cha,

Fancy Feast is the way to a cat’s heart. Tabs is sleeping here at my feet. I wonder what he’s dreaming about…

I don’t know when it happened, but Lancome’s gone all edgy on us. I like the stuff they’ve been releasing!
8. Karen said, on July 16th, 2009:

Hi Shontay,

I hope you like both the liner and mascara. The liner is to die for… I could easily wear it every day.

Happy Thursday!

You just made my heart break–that liner is gorgeous!

Whyyyy must I be broke now!?

That liner is eveything I’ve wanted from the likes of the BB gel liner & MAC fluidlines. I better call lancome again & pre-order it.

Ahh, alas…the exquisiteness of INDIGO! Absolutely beautiful with your skin! The state of my wallet has me thinking I should perhaps just invest in an indigo crayon or some such to satisfy my craving…definitely not as good, but, you gotta do what you gotta do! lol

12. Sarah said, on July 16th, 2009:

OMG! I’m am so excited about this line! The liner on you is gorgeous and I have brown eyes myself. You just made Lancome a new sale because I am on my way to purchase it!

13. Karen said, on July 16th, 2009:

Hi Summer B.,

A good dark indigo pen might do the trick, too. I like the Uni Ball Vision Elite. It writes smoothly and has the deepest, darkest blue color.
14. Karen said, on July 16th, 2009:

Hi Marisol,

It’s frickin’ awesome. I wish they made more colors! I’ll like pots in purple, green and gold, please.
15. Karen said, on July 16th, 2009:

Hi Maggie,

It’s pretty drool worthy. You still have some time to get it — fall is a long ways away.
16. Karen said, on July 16th, 2009:

Hi Sarah,

Your brown eyes will thank you for it.
17. Kajal Couture said, on July 16th, 2009:

Amazing what a lil pot of blue gel can do for a gal! I have had a rough day at work (still not over, just taking a break), and seeing this review totally made my day! I am all over that blue liner!
18. Glosslizard said, on July 16th, 2009:

I might have to splurge on the mascara!
19. Michelle (Lipstick Rules) said, on July 16th, 2009:

Ah the 80s. Blue Monday.

I have added that Blue liner and the Blue nail polish to my wish list.

Hi Catherine,

Thanks!

It’s a really *great* blue. I hope you try it.
22. Karen said, on July 16th, 2009:

Hi Michelle,

I’m a child of the 80s. I did big hair, leg warmers, neon… yup. Good times.
23. Karen said, on July 16th, 2009:

Hi Glosslizard,

Dude, do it! It’s really fun!
24. Karen said, on July 16th, 2009:

Hi Kajal Couture,

Oh no… I hope that you get to go home soon. At least tomorrow is Friday, right?

Hang in there!

[...] Makeup and Beauty Blog lines her eyes with Lancome’s Declaring Indigo collection. See why she rated this one an A+! [...]
26. Stephie said, on July 16th, 2009:

I am definitely digging the blues. In fact, I wore my LM Med palette today. I really like Lancome Virtuose. I think the brush I SOO awesome. It seriously applies mascara like no one’s business( I actually wash it and use it w/ my other mascaras ).

How cute of Lancome to include that little ‘toki doki esque’ toy!
27. Jen said, on July 16th, 2009:

Karen- I love how the eyeliner looks! And, I love your shirt, the sleeves are really cute. Who makes it?
28. Lina said, on July 16th, 2009:

That liner looks gorgeous on you!!! It definitely makes your eyes pop without being too bright. Wish I could pull off blues like that! The whole look you did is very elegant. Love it.

29. Stef said, on July 16th, 2009:

Oooo, girl! That’s some pretty blues. The liner looks like what I wanted MAC Fly-by-Blu pearlglide to be, but wasn’t.

Agreed, I love that this is different from the other Fall collections. Look at Lancome go!

30. jane said, on July 16th, 2009:

oh no. yesterday it was the gorgeous blue polish and now liner? ack! i must check this out when it comes out and see if it looks as good on my skin.
31. Nicole15 said, on July 16th, 2009:

I have been desperately looking for a good indigo blue liner. Some blues claim to be navy but have too much purple in them or too much “midnight” & they just look black on. This blue is perfect. Just the ideal shade of dark blue. I love it & it looks damn good on us brown-eyed ladies. HA!

“Solid Gold Dancers” – LMAO I wanted to be one so bad. Growing up I could never decide what would have been better, being a Solid Gold Dancer, a Soul Train Dancer or a Fly Girl. Ahhhh, the good ol’ days.
32. Hyzenthlay said, on July 16th, 2009:

Gosh dang it, can you STOP featuring expensive things on here that I lust after?! Now I want the liner AND the mascara AND the nail polish AND the eye shadow.

Well, the colors my school ARE blue and gold . . . and it’s spirit day every Friday! Perhaps I need these things for my Friday makeup . . . I could alternate blue and gold looks . . . And I am taking on some extra (paying) responsibilities this year . . .
33. Patti said, on July 16th, 2009:

Hi Karen,

I am definitely interested in this collection by Lancome. As a self-confessed gel liner neophyte, how do you apply the gel liner to your lids? What brush can you use?
34. Khalia Bentson said, on July 16th, 2009:

I’m really diggin’ the blue eyeliner!!

35. Paris B said, on July 16th, 2009:

mmmm that indigo liner is gorgeousness! I’m really liking the indigo colours in this collection but the eyeshadow palettes (though pretty) are a little blah. Pity.

36. Steph said, on July 16th, 2009:

Karen,
That liner looks amazing. I can never get as smooth a line with gel liner. I just smudge into my lashes — which also looks good but sometimes a gal just wants a thicker, more defined line. What brush do you use? How do you apply?

Thanks!
37. heyhey said, on July 16th, 2009:

My blue heaven! This is so my speed– that little “pop” of color on an otherwise muted face. Now to save up for the lancome real deal while scoping Walgreens for a cheap ITMT alternative. Viva la recessionista!
38. tracey said, on July 16th, 2009:

how does the indigo charm liner compare to macs fluidline in waveline in terms of color??
39. Tiffany said, on July 17th, 2009:

Girl, that liner looks amazing on you! Also, I love your top – great color!
40. Naz said, on July 17th, 2009:

Wow that liner looks so great on you and the color is amazing! I’ll definitely pick it up next week I go shopping!
41. Lindsay said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Karen!

I love the eyeliner, I’m going to go get it today! And I love the earrings! What’s the story on those?

–L
42. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Lindsay,

Those are pink plumeria earrings I bought a few years ago when I visited family on Oahu. I bought ‘em at the drugstore.
43. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Naz,

Yay! I hope you love it as much as I do.
44. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Tiffany,

Thanks.

Hope your Friday is off to a great start.
45. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Tracey,

I don’t have Waveline, but when I pop by the MAC counter I’ll take a look and let you know.
46. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Heyhey,
I’ll keep my eyes out for a drugstore alternative and will let ya know if I spy anything!
47. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Steph,

I use Laura Mercier’s Flat Eyeliner Brush ($25). It’s a bad ass brush! I like it much more than MAC’s push brush for the eyes.

To apply, I gently pull the skin at the lower lash line outward (toward my eye), and then slowly apply the color to the lash line. I build thickness to the line slowly… it’s the only way I can get a really sharp, defined and crisp line.

If you have any more questions let me know.
48. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Paris B,

Aww, that’s a disappointment. I was really hoping that palette would rock my world.
49. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Khalia,

Yup, it’s really pretty.
50. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Patti,

Gel liner is surprisingly easy to use if you have the right brush. I LOVELaura Mercier’s Flat Eyeliner Brush ($25).

First, I load the brush with some liner, and then I dilute the excess by rubbing it gently across the inside of the gel liner cap. Next, I gently pull the skin at the lower lash line outward (toward my eye). I place the brush head along the lashes and then slowly apply the color to the lash line. I do my best to get the color as close to the lashes as possible (in between ‘em, even) and then build thickness of the line slowly.

If you have any more questions let me know.
51. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Hyzethlay,

Totally! I think if you get a lot of use out of makeup they it pays itself off, right?
52. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Nicole15,

Me too! Who didn’t want to be a Solid Gold dancer?

I thought the Fly Girls were so cool… the thought of wearing booty shorts freaked me out to no end, LOL!
53. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Jane,

I hope it works for you! It’s a great color.
54. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Stef,

I know! I’m really loving this one so far. Do you think you might get anything?
55. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Lina,

Blue is one of those shades I’ve grown to love. A few years ago I would’ve never tried it.

How do you feel about purple? Now that’s a shade I wish I could work better!
56. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Jen,

I wish I could tell ya. I bought it four years ago at a random shop in SF… unfortch I cut off the tags (they itched). LOL, I guess I need to go shopping. A clothes horse I am not!
57. Karen said, on July 17th, 2009:

Hi Stephie,

I am totally loving that brush, too. I usually like smaller ones, but for some reason this one just *works*.
58. Marina said, on July 17th, 2009:

OMG that liner is beeee-utiful! I was going to ask the same question Tracey did (about MAC Waveline) will appreciate it if you could compare them
59. Anastasia said, on July 17th, 2009:

That blue liner is so pretty on you – I love the nail varnish that you previewed too – my Lancome counter didn’t have it yet when I checked today.

I’m kinda blue myself… I just found out my lab Oscar has cancer I hope we caught it soon enough – fingers crossed!
60. cloudburst said, on July 17th, 2009:

I love that gel eyeliner – blue makes eyes appear whiter!
