Glossier has debuted the ‘No.1 Pencil,’ an updated version of a discontinued product from Glosser’s sister brand, PLAY. The old creation has been refreshed through the new eye pencil, providing consumers with the same Glossier glow and function with an enhanced formula. The ‘No.1 Pencil’ is a highly pigmented and buildable eye pencil that can be worn for extended periods of time due to its transfer-proof and water-resistant properties. The eye pencil can be worn for up to 12 hours without wearing away.
The ‘No.1 Pencil’ comes in 10 color options including: ‘Ink,’ ‘Frame,’ ‘Kiln,’ ‘Ochre,’ ‘Fresco,’ ‘Patina,’ ‘Lapis,’ ‘Rococo,’ ‘Muse,’ and ‘Canvas.’ The pencil can be purchased on Glossier’s website and retail locations at a price point of $16 USD.
