For anyone who's ever struggled with powder fallout, brushes they didn't know how to use, or palettes that stayed in the drawer, our Forever Eye Colour Crayons are a revolution for your makeup routine. This crayon takes the faff out of eyeshadow: simply draw the highly pigmented, creamy colour straight onto your eyelid, then it’s beautifully blendable for around 30 seconds, until it sets for hours of wear.
For an easy everyday look, apply a soft neutral shade across the whole lid and blend into the crease with your fingertip. For evening, build a richer tone into the outer corner and smoke it out along the lash line with the same crayon. Eye crayons also work beautifully as a base under pressed shadow if you want to intensify colour or extend wear. Layer, blend, done.
Eyeshadow Questions Answered
How do I stop eyeshadow creasing on my lids?
With eye crayons, no prep is needed. Just start with a clean eyelid and apply the crayon in thin layers rather than one heavy pass. Blend quickly before the formula sets. For powder shadow, start with a base layer of neutral Forever Eye Colour Crayon (try Sandstone, Dusty Rose or Burnt Copper) and blend your powder shadows over the top.
Are eye crayons suitable for mature or hooded eyes?
Yes, absolutely! The creamy formula glides over fine lines rather than catching in them, and the precise tip lets you place colour exactly where it flatters. It won’t transfer or gather into creases. For hooded eyes, focus colour along the lash line and the outer corner where it shows when your eye is open. Pop a highlight colour (like Sorbet or Golden Blush) in the inner corner to open the eye.
Can I blend two crayon shades together?
Absolutely, blending is a breeze with this formula! Apply a lighter shade across the full lid, then add a deeper tone at the outer corner, blending the meeting point with your fingertip or blending brush. For more intensity, use a deeper shade along the lash line and blend with an angled or Eye Smudge brush. You have around thirty seconds of working time before each shade sets.
How do I remove eye crayon at the end of the day?
A gentle oil-based cleanser or balm dissolves the formula quickly and cleanly without tugging at the delicate eye area. Always make sure the product is suitable for use around the eyes and follow the manufacturer’s directions. Our Clarifying Cleansing Balm works beautifully for this.
Which shades suit my eye colour best?
Blue eyes pop against warm coppers, bronzes and soft browns to try Copper Glow, Sorbet, Burnt Copper and Antique. Green and hazel eyes come alive with plums, purples and warm neutrals so shades like Dusty Rose, Chestnut and Mulberry are stunning. Brown eyes suit almost anything but look especially striking in golds and bronze tones, we love Antique, Oyster and Mocha. That said, the best shade is the one you love to wear!
