When I saw the previews of what to expect from Clarins this Autumn,
the one product that haunted my make-up dreams was the 3 Dot Liner.
Now i'm not saying that other brands don't have something similar 
but within the UK it is a fairly new concept and something I was very eager to try out.


"A new generation, easy to apply eye liner. 
A revolutionary pen with long-lasting hold that combines the precision of a liquid eye liner with the style of a pencil for a new and easy way to create captivating eyes.
Its unique triple-point applicator effectively fills the space between each lash, 
giving the illusion of a fuller-looking lash line and more intense, naturally enhanced eyes.
Dermatologically tested."


Clarins 3 Dot Liner comes presented within a sleek black pen applicator
with a felt tip applicator that has 3 prongs and thus forming the 3 dots.
It's light yet well packaged and very easy to use and control.
At the moment the Clarins 3 Dot Liner only comes in black but as you use it to dot on the
liner rather than draw thick or heavy lines on the eye it is pretty much a suit all option
and will not be harsh on the palest on skin tones.
I quickly want to mention that it is a true black with no blue or grey leanings.


So how do you use this liner and why the three dot approach?
Well you simply dot the liner along the lash line (it is suitable for both the upper and lower lash lines)
with the aim of trying to get as close as possible to the root of the lashes.
The idea is that the dots of liner accompanied with a coat or two of mascara gives the impression
of longer and thicker eyelashes with next to no work.
You can of course use the liner to draw normal lines on the eyelids if you wish.
For me this is a great and innovative product that is perfect for ladies like myself who don't
really wear thick liner but would still like to define their eyes somewhat
and let's face it who doesn't want to give the impression of longer, thicker eyelashes.
It is also wonderful for those again like myself who have hooded eyelids as it does not swamp
the eyelid and in return makes the eyes look a little more open.

P.s I will update with eye photos to show the liner on in a few hours,
Blogger will not upload my original photos so I will have to take new ones once home.
