I recently watched Sex and the City 2 for the third or fourth time.....and although it's not my favorite in the series, the ladies never fail to have amazing outfits, hair, and makeup!!! I was particularly struck by the scene where Carrie dolls herself up to go and meet Aidan for dinner...her eye makeup is very sultry - it's kind of smoky eyes meets Arabic eyes. It's a very dramatic, yet sophisticated look. I decided to recreate it using inexpensive products. I actually tracked down the eyeliner Carrie buys when she's at the souq in Abu Dhabi - it's Blue Heaven Kajal Black Eyeliner and its manufactured in India. I ordered a package of 6 for $7 (including S&H) off eBay! I am very impressed with it - it glides on smoothly and is super pigmented. It has excellent staying power when applied to the waterline, but be warned it is pretty smudgey!

I remember that exact look from the movie! She looked fantastic! I can't believe that you actually found the eyeliner that she bought!
I know.....I might be slightly obssessed!
