Make Up For Ever Aqua XL Eye Pencil 1.2g in 81 Metallic Pink is a waterproof gel-textured eye liner in a luminous, metallic pink finish, designed by the brand's professional artist lab for high-impact, long-wear definition. The creamy formula glides over the lid and waterline without tugging, then sets into a transfer-resistant film engineered to survive heat, humidity and tears.
About Make Up For Ever
Make Up For Ever is a French professional makeup brand founded in Paris in 1984 by makeup artist Dany Sanz, and now part of the LVMH group. The Aqua line is the brand's flagship long-wear, water-resistant collection — built originally for the demands of stage, film and underwater photography, and trusted by professional makeup artists worldwide.
Key benefits
- Waterproof, transfer-resistant — holds firm against tears, sweat, humidity and rubbing once set
- Creamy glide-on application — soft enough to draw on without dragging the lid skin, firm enough not to crumble
- Up to all-day wear — engineered to stay put through long shifts, photoshoots and events
- Metallic finish — delivers a luminous, light-catching sheen rather than a flat colour
- Waterline-safe — designed to be worn on the waterline without bleeding or stinging
- Sharpenable barrel — for precise fine lines or smudged smokey effects
Shade
81 Metallic Pink is a luminous pink with a metallic sheen, sitting in the cool-pink end of the Aqua XL palette. It works as a graphic statement liner on its own, or as a brightening accent in the inner corner of the eye and along the lower lash line to bring out grey, blue and green eye colours.
Who it's for
This pencil suits anyone looking to add a punch of colour to their eye look without committing to a full coloured smokey eye — particularly those who like metallic finishes for evenings, festivals or photographed events. The waterproof formula makes it a strong pick for holiday wear, hot weather, contact lens wearers and anyone whose liner tends to migrate by mid-afternoon.
How to apply
- Sharpen the pencil for a clean tip — discard any flaky shavings
- Use short, light strokes along the upper lash line for a sharp graphic edge
- Smudge gently with a small smudge brush within 30 seconds if a softer finish is preferred — the formula sets quickly
- For lower lash brightening, line just the outer two-thirds of the lower water line and lash line
- Remove with a bi-phase or oil-based eye makeup remover at the end of the day
