The smoky eye is one of those rare beauty looks that’s universally flattering. Like a little black dress, it’s a surefire hit no matter where you’re headed. But, unlike an LBD, you can’t just throw on a smoky eye. Even for the pros, getting it right involves a series of steps that aren’t so easy to execute in the back of a cab. (Trust me, I’ve tried.)

That’s why L’Oréal Paris Infallible Smokissime Powder Eyeliner Pen ($8.99) is pretty much the best thing to ever happen to your nighttime beauty game. Believe it or not, this clutch-sized stick is capable of creating the perfect smoky eye in a matter of seconds. The secret is in its foam-tip applicator and gel-like powder formula which is actually housed in the cap. Simply apply it like eyeliner, gently patting the applicator along your lash line to reveal a smoked-out look—no smudging or blending required. And, did I mention it’s available in brown, taupe, black, and even purple? Here’s to a new generation of colorful, fuss-free smoky eyes.
