Just a quick post for my ladies out there who are looking for a great, dark brown eyeshadow/eyeliner. I received a sample of Coconut Grove from the cruelty-free NARS Fall 2010 collection and it’s PERFECT for an eyeliner. I have so many browns that just aren’t dark enough. Sometimes, you just don’t want to use black eyeliner because it’s a little too harsh. I have to say, it’s actually darker than what I see in the photo above. It’s always hard to represent true colors online and it could be my monitor, but just take my word for it – it’s a really nice dark brown.

I have dark brown hair and very fair skin, and this is my new favorite. NARS calls it a “deep taupe brown.” It stays on all day and I love how deeply pigmented it is. I’m using it as an eyeliner for day, but I might try a smoky eye with it for the evening. You can also use it on your brows if you have dark eyebrows.
