For the love of God, do we really need a $75 eyeliner?

No seriously, who needs a $75 USD eyeliner in this economy?

I sincerely thought that the first time I heard about Serge Lutens’ “Fard” Kohl eyeliner that the price was $7.50, but surely not $75. I thought there might have been a typo, but no … the eyeliner actually cost a staggering $75!!!

Serge Lutens is well known for his luxury fragrances and he’s now venturing out in the luxury makeup market at a time where most women are recycling what they already have in their makeup case.

I’m all for a little luxury here and there, but a $75 eyeliner is too expensive … even for my beauty editor blood!

Now to be fair to Serge Lutens, I’ve not tried their product and I have no doubt that it must look good, but it’s an eyeliner AND it’s $75.

For $75, that eyeliner better not fade or smudge during the day and it needs to last for 10 years!

I’ve not decided if I’ll try to get my hands on this eyeliner or not because I feel a bit insulted that a manufacturer would put out a product at this price in the middle of a recession.

What do you think? Leave a comment to let me know if you would pay $75 for an eyeliner!

If you are interested, you can buy the Serge Lutens $75 eyeliner at Barneys of New York or on their web site.
