12 Daring Beauty Products to Try in 2012

NYX Retractable Eyeliner in Silver, Golden Olive, Purple, Gypsy Blue and Gold

Black and brown eyeliner addict and online health and fitness editor Corrie Pikul tried a different shade of these soft, creamy colored pencils every day for a week. "I was afraid the ultrabright colors would make me look like I was going to a rave, but a light swipe across my upper lashlines was all I needed to give my brown eyes a boost." Plus, they stayed put even after hitting the gym. Pikul likes the blue and purple, but if you prefer something more understated, try one of the metallic colors for a soft and shimmery look.
