Revlon Luxurious Color Eyeliner

I've been on a quest for the perfect dark brown, shimmery liner. Some dark brown liners have a lot of red in them, others aren't dark enough or are too dark, and matte/flat liners can make the eyelids look crepey and dry. I must have looked like a crazy person in CVS (which, it being the Broad and Boulevard location means I probably fit right in with all the other homeless, drunks, vagrants, and crazies), kneeling down to look at every single liner, inspecting for the perfect shade and shimmer.

The shade I finally chose, Sueded Brown, had a shimmery paint on the pencil, but the tip itself was greyed over - kind of like how chocolate gets that grey cast to it if it's a bit old. I crossed my fingers and...I think I've finally found my holy grail. I really want to buy at least two other shades - Burnished Amber and Antiqued Gold. Blackened Sapphire also looks good (but I have a similar shade from Bobbi Brown). To amp up the shimmer factor, I layer on L'Oreal HIP kohls in brown.
