Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick (Taupe)

We're always on the lookout for make-up products that could essentially be applied in the dark - and this is one of them. Literally the quickest way to define eyes we've ever come across, you really don't need to look in the mirror while adding a sweep of this perfect, neutral mid-brown to lids. Taupe is one of an increasing range of shades in the Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow range, but it's the most foolproof and easy-to-use.

Step 1: draw it on.

Step 2: smoosh. (Not a technical term but we think you'll get our drift.)

It's really that easy. Jo also loves Bark, a darker brown in the same range - but she needs the light on to apply that one… And Sarah is devoted to New Greige, a shimmering brown grey - which is a definite smoosher...
