While photographing swatches of Midnight Bleu, I just had showcase how perfectly precise this eye pencil applies.

MAC Technakohl Eye Pencil in Greyprint, swatch, swatches, review, reviews — MAC Technakohl Eye Pencil in Greyprint

Over the past couple years we’ve seen warm chocolate browns make way to shades of taupe or “greige” and I expect that this trend will continue. In fact I think eventually pure shade browns will give we will graduate from using browns to using pure shades of gray.

Greyprint is a unique looking pale grey-taupe eyeliner. The Technakohl Liner comes in a retractable format. I like the shade Greyprint so much the second-highest watch it I immediately applied it to my eyes! Click through for swatches!
