Inspired by the classic four-color pen, Clarins created a multipurpose pen makeup applicator that has lip and eye liner shades that retract in the same way.
The convenience-focused beauty tool means that the cosmetics inside do not need to be sharpened like traditional eye or lip pencils, as the mechanism only involves pressing down on the desired color to have it appear at the makeup pen's tip.
The new products include Harmony 1, which pairs a black, blue and green eye liner with a rosewood lip liner, as well as Harmony 2, with a black, gray and brown eye liner and a bold red lip liner. These new products are infused with sunflower wax complex, jojoba and black acacia, to simultaneously add color and nourish the skin.
