Blog: Plum Chic - Alternative Plums

Thank you for all your comments on my latest film ‘Plum Chic – A Wearable Fall / Autumn Look.’ If you love the look of the KIKO eye pencil but can’t find it where you live I have sourced a couple of similar alternative products.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Shadow Stick in Paranoid Purple (1) is a pearlier, creamier version in a slightly lighter shade.

There’s also Clinique’s Portly Plum 11 (2) which is a sheerer, less intense version or, for a more intense pigment pay off try ByTerry’s Ombre Blackstar in Velvet Orchard (3) , both pencils are much creamier than the KIKO so easier to blend (although not as long lasting!).

The Maybelline Lip Pencil I use in the video is new and currently only available in the UK, however for a similar, slightly redder based plum lip pencil try Nars Matt Velvet Lip Pencil in Damned (4).

Here's the film incase you missed it. If you know of any other great alternatives, please do let everyone know in the comments. Thanks X
