DISCOVERED
During a sit-down with Troy Surratt in New York City a few months before his debut color collection launch, the celebrity makeup artist explained how he integrated the latest technology out of Tokyo (a place near and dear to his heart) into his eponymous line. And when he got to describing his Smoky Eye Baton—a dual-ended pencil with a creamy eyeliner on one side and an eyeshadow on the other—it was clear to everyone present that a new beauty bag staple had been born.
TESTED
ON SET: Proven to create a sultry stare that photographs impeccably.
 
ON THE RED CARPET: Adds a sensual allure to a conservative (or not so conservative) ensemble. And when shadow is layered over the liner, the pigment becomes long wearing.
 
ON THE VANITY: The double-sided pencil is a boon when preparing for a last-minute soirée.

“I love the ease and impact of the Smoky Eye Batons. My favorite color is Cendres, which is a taupe shade—it creates easy soft and defined eyes.”—Pati Dubroff
