I picked up NARS Larger Than Life Long Wear Eyeliner in Rue Bonaparte a few months ago at The Makeup Show LA. I wanted to have a brightening liner for my waterline to replace my Pixi Eye Bright Liner, and the cherry on top was that Miley Cyrus wore this to the 2014 Clive Davis Grammy Party. Bless Phillip Picardi at Teen Vogue for that reporting!
Rue Bonaparte is described as a light almond. It’s a creamy nude with a yellow undertone, which I prefer for my skin tone! I wear this liner every day (at least every day that I wear makeup), and at first, I didn’t realize how long wearing it was since it was such a light shade. I find that after 4 hours I can still see it, which is pretty much unheard of for lining on the waterline! It’s super creamy and glides on like a dream, but then lasts ages. I’m so impressed with it. Although I don’t buy a lot of makeup products thanks to my blogging and YouTube, I’d repurchase this in a heartbeat!
I don’t wear a ton of eyeliner, so this nude shade is perfect for my waterline. I occasionally will add a darker liner underneath Rue Bonaparte to define my eyes a bit more, but that’s about as crazy as I get! It’s the perfect liner for every day, I adore it! It’s the perfect alternative to a white liner for brightening and widening your eyes to look more awake.
Pick this up at Sephora for $24, and it’s a lot of bang for your buck! I’ve seen the light and I’m never going back to sub-par eyeliner.
