The Gel Eyeliner 

Ladies, meet your new obsession. 

• Intensely pigmented
The deepest black 
• Long wearing
• Emotion proof

And, a complimentary brush to ensure you can create the most precise lines with confidence.   Use the long angled edge to imprint the perfect outline for a winged look or, the short edge to create an effortless classic line. 

[ a note from Melissa ] 
I tip-toed with great trepidation into the world of gel eyeliners.  I had long loved the looks I could create with loose minerals using a foiling method, I had played around with liquid pens and often longed for the ease of a pencil.  I was determined to master gel and bring this option into the VRAI lineup.  

I spent an entire year searching for the perfect applicator brush, and tried endless options presented.  

I tested various formulas.  

I swam, I cried, I worked out, I celebrated,  I slept with perfectly winged eyeliner applied... how else can one properly test a new product?

I refuse to settle for a product that is anything less than "obsession level" before putting the VC signature on it.

The Gel Eyeliner has now become my daily go-to product for creating a defined look.

I am confident you are going to love this product as much as I do.

If you are new to Gel Eyeliner, practice your technique. Be patient with yourself... and as you test your skills, keep your coconut oil and cotton rounds close by because once you apply this product, it's with you for the day.  

Always cleanse the brush fibers after application.

Gel eyeliner can become dry quickly, be sure to promptly secure the cover after application to prolong use. 






The Brow Definer  
 
It was once mascara you would never leave home without, then it became lipstick, which transitioned into a simple gloss and now here we have arrived at BROWS.
Giving definition and character to eyebrows has become the new area of focus, and it really is quite incredible how a simple lift of an arch, a curve, or angle can change your features.  

Having the right tool makes this accent flawless.

Using a product that offers a "not so quick to fade" color base makes this accent effortless.

Being confident in your technique will make all the difference, and so if you are new to lining and defining your brows be patient with yourself.

And, practice.  

Here are some pro tips: 
• Explore the various shades and don't be nervous to go bold. If the application looks too dark, simply diffuse it out with a grooming spoolie.
• Remember that your hair, brows included, will lighten in Summer and darken in Winter so be flexible with the color you choose and change with the seasons.
• Try your skills in the evening at home, so you don't feel rushed and won't need to fret about your new look at the office if it isn't just quite right.
