Mac Minted Eye Pencil
This is the first Eye Brow Pencil that I've fell in love with. I have super blonde hair and most eye brow pencils are too dark. This is the perfect shade and it stays on all day at work. Used to be my favorite brow pencil. Naomi from Seattle, WA. This was the only pencil I used for years but the new formula doesn't deposit color nearly as well. Shop for eye pencil at Dillard's.

In the Eye of the Beholder Art Challenge, we asked the Minted Artist Community to submit innovative works of art to continue to grow our assortment and help us be the best marketplace for independent artists. There were no design restrictions and we accepted all mediums reproducible on paper. The winners below each stood out in one of our special prize categories. Congratulations, winners!
Photography Award for the best work of photography – literal, abstract, or whimsical
“Go Fish” by Pad and Paper
Equal parts ode to modernism – with its abstracted circular forms in an off-kilter grid – and homage to the traditional art of fishing, this piece continues to captivate my attention. Green-hued netting is stretched tight across the conical forms, creating a repeating pattern of circles in the fore and backgrounds, with segments of white rope breaking up the uniformity.
Michelle Poe, the creative force behind Pad and Paper, has been a part of the Minted Community for the past five years. She lives in Pasadena, California.
Painterly Award for the work that makes best use of interesting brush stroke, form, or line
“Ochre Pods” by Deborah Velasquez
Reminiscent of ancient Chinese calligraphy paintings, this piece employs a simple palette and strong brush strokes. Shades of black burst from their ochre stems in an energized dance across the page. Deborah uses a variety of techniques to create the texture, from an opaque application of inky black to translucent ochre and a stippling/splatter effect for the seeding element. This is a modern and abstracted vision of the detail found in nature.
A prolific contributor to our challenges, Deborah Valesquez joined our community earlier this year and specializes in gouache, watercolor, and digital work.
Illustration Award for the best illustration
“Blush” by Sonal Nathwani
An illustration of poppies in various shades of bloom is overlaid with blue- and rose-tinted watercolors. What initially appears to be a traditional nature drawing is modernized through the use of translucent colors and organic shapes. With a focus on the detail of the petals and stamen, leaves and buds, the artist invites the viewer to reimagine the natural world through a new tinted filter.
Sonal Nathwani, a relatively new Minted artist, interprets nature in new ways through the use of fantastical coloration and finely tuned pencil work. We look forward to more submissions from her.

Graphic Image Award for the best graphic image, created digitally or by hand
Sleep timer for mac. “Put a House on It” by Hadley Hutton
An innovative and whimsical piece, the central image is a bird that celebrates the landscape contained in its silhouette. The bird perches on a lone branch and shows a glimpse of a series of houses, oversized flowers, and clouds drifting by. Bright colors of yellow, fuchsia, and azure blue mix together against a backdrop of pale pink.
Hadley Hutton revels in the use of color – and enjoys exploring such disparate subjects as geometric patterns, Asian themes, and Victorian influences. She lives in Portland, Oregon.
Curator’s Choice Award for the artwork that most captures the attention of the Minted curatorial team Safari 8 download for mac os.
“Bull” by Jen Wink
This striking profile of a bull was originally created with low color contrast oil paints. Undulating gray hues represent the reflection of light across the bull’s nose and body, displayed in geometric strokes. He stares out to the distance, as his horns gracefully brush the top of the image. Powerful in its simplicity, this piece continued to capture our attention during the Editors’ review, ultimately landing the Curator’s Choice Award for this challenge.

Comments Off on Eye of the Beholder Art Challenge Special PrizesI started using liquid eyeliner about six years ago because I didn’t think I could get a clean, gorgeous line with a kohl pencil. But I rediscovered pencils a couple of weeks ago, when I tried a MAC Eye Kohl pencil. I’ve ditched my liquid liners.
Price: $14.50 at maccosmetics.com
I’ve got green eyes, so I chose Prunella, a deep, rich violet, and Teddy, a simmering, smokey brown, but there are a total of eleven different shades to choose from, including Blooz (cobalt blue), Phone Number (grey), Minted (green), and Rosemary & Thyme (a goldy-brown). Who comes up with the names for these colors? They’re all gorgeous, rich, and oh-so-easy to use! They glide on beautifully, with no lumps or unwanted smudging. And they’re long, not some stubby CoverGirl eye pencil you’ll have to replace in a month. The colors really pop, but wash away easily with warm water and a soft washcloth. I just sketch a quick, soft line on my upper lid as close to my lash-line as I can, working from the inside out, and add a dash of brown/black mascara, and my eyes are done! I wear the Eye Kohl all day, and amazingly, it doesn’t soak it, smear, smudge, or flake away. I haven’t needed a mid-afternoon touch-up, not even once! If you’re in the market for a new eyeliner pencil, choose your favorite color from the MAC Eye Kohl line-up and give it a go!
