Clinique Cream Shaper For Eyes is the richly pigmented, intensely creamy eyeliner pencil that delivers the bold, defined, long-wearing eye look of a professional cream liner with the effortless application ease and blendability of a pencil format — a twist-up, retractable eyeliner pencil that glides on smoothly and precisely with zero tugging, skipping, or pulling on the delicate skin of the eyelid, depositing a dense, vivid wash of colour that can be worn as a crisp, defined liner line or blended immediately for a smoky, diffused eye effect. The Egyptian shade — an intense, deeply saturated black that references the iconic, dramatic eye looks of ancient Egyptian beauty — delivers maximum depth and definition to the eye, making it the essential shade for dramatic liner looks, deep-set smoky eyes, and any eye look that demands the most intense, impactful black liner performance. The cream formula’s unique texture is the key to its performance: rich and emollient enough to glide on with effortless smoothness without dragging or skipping, yet structured enough to deposit colour precisely along the lash line with the control and definition of a pencil liner. Clinique-developed. Allergy-tested. Ophthalmologist-tested. Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
For a defined liner look: Starting from the inner corner of the eye, draw the pencil along the upper lash line as close to the lash roots as possible, working in short strokes from inner to outer corner for the most controlled application. For a thicker, more dramatic line: apply a second layer directly over the first, or use a slightly higher angle to deposit colour above the initial line and blend downward. For a tightline effect (the most natural-looking liner): apply the pencil directly into the waterline of the upper lash line, depositing colour between the lashes for a defined lash line without visible liner.
For a smoky effect: Apply the pencil generously along the upper and/or lower lash line, then immediately use a small smudge brush, a clean fingertip, or the built-in smudger (if included) to blend the colour outward and upward, diffusing the liner into a gradient smoky effect. The cream formula’s blendability window is at its widest immediately after application — blend quickly for the softest, most diffused smoky effect.
Care: Sharpen as needed to maintain a precise tip. Store with the cap on to prevent the cream formula from drying out.
