These pencils were a bit of a mystery to me when I first heard about them. Essentially the Chromagraphic pencil is a concealer coloured liner, or if you like a concealer in a eyeliner formula. The pencil is mainly designed for use along the waterline to brighten eyes. However, where I get excited about the potential of these is their use as portable concealer. Many of us suffer from the occasional pimple, and who hasn't checked their makeup at 3:00 pm to discover their concealer has worn off, thus exposing your pulsating red zit? If you had one of these in your make up bag you could easily and precisely camouflage your spot without messing with fingers, brushes, sticks or wands.

General CommentsThis is an interesting product. The only drawback I can see to these is the limited shade range. While they will work as a liner on most waterlines, they won't be able to work as concealers on most. While I know they weren't designed with this purpose in mind - why not work it so they could be used for a multitude of needs?
