You may be aware that the Pantone colour of the year for 2013 is in-fact Emerald Green, as nice a colour as it may be it is not one that I would personally sport in terms of make-up. I prefer lighter and more golden hues of green and I have stumbled across the most beautiful khaki green eyeliner in the form of Sisley Phyto-Khol Perfect Eyeliner in Khaki.

I have a few Sisley Phyto-Khol Perfect Eyeliners and for good reason too, not only do they look great and very high end with their pretty golden accents but they sharpen so well with minimal waste. They also have a brilliant soft sponge smudger tool at one end should you want to soften out any harsh lines or wish to achieve a smoky eye look in seconds.

As mentioned above when it comes to green hued eye products I always seek out golden toned greens such as olive and khaki shades and in my opinion Sisley Phyto-Khol Perfect Eyeliner in Khaki is the perfect blend of both hues. Sisley's Khaki is an olive green that has a slight brown undertone coupled with a golden nuance that shimmers in the light. If you are a fan of MAC's Scrumptous Olive I have a sneaky suspicion that this shade will also catch your eye...no pun intended.

Sisley Phyto-Khol Perfect Eyeliners are an utter joy to use and wear, unlike some khol pencils the Sisley formula glides on with such ease and does not tug or pull at the delicate skin area. You can of course use this pencil in the typical sense to line the eyes however you see fit or you can do what I do and wear it all over the lid, blending out using the smudger tool for a quick but pretty olive smoky eye that is perfect for the warm weather. As this is a fairly silken formula I do recommend using a primer with the Sisley Phyto-Khol Perfect Eyeliner as it does have a tendency to slip and crease without it, when primed I find it lasts a good eight hours when uses as an eyeshadow or on the upper lash line on the water line it is closer to 3-4 hours of wear.
