The Yardley Retractable Eye Pencils are great to achieve a signature eye look. I am a fan of the smokey eye and this eye pencil really helps me create this look flawlessly. Even if you are not one for dramatic eye, my regular day look is just a to thinly line my top and bottom lids. This Yardley Retractable Eye Pencil goes on easily and is virtually smudge free, unless you use the smudge-tip for blending. The smudge-tip has made my eye makeup application 10 times easier and with the built in sharpener I don't waste any time having to sharpen my pencil in a rush!
