No, no. They're not coloured pencils for back to school. They're the Shu Uemura Haute Street Eye Color Pencils ($30) featuring dual-ended wild colour.
I'm obsessed with photographing the Haute Street Eye Color Pencils. They're playful and almost child-like with the pencil crayon style packaging. Yet it's not just a gimmick. It's a stellar product. The neon blue, green, yellow and pink are fun and true to colour.
The texture is excellent, as is the staying power when set with a powder product (i.e. the Shu Uemura Haute Street Eyeshadow Palettes). They're highly pigmented and smooth but hard enough that they don't mush when you attempt to sharpen them or draw a sharp line applying some pressure to the pencil. They're also quite versatile as either an eyeliner to accent the frame of the eye or as a cream eyeshadow by colouring the lid and blending for a gradated effect.
Rest assured, I'll be using these for some Halloween looks.
