Michelle Obama’s makeup artist Carl Ray shared the beauty staples behind her book tour looks.
He used Beauty Pie’s Deluxe Precision Liquid Eyeliner to pull most of them together.
Obama’s latest book, The Light We Carry, released November 15.
For Michelle Obama’s latest book tour—which spread the word about her new release, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times—the former first lady stepped into the limelight with an incredible array of fashion and beauty looks. With the help of her stylist and makeup artist, she put her bold foot forward, wearing emerald green eyeshadow with a matching velvet suit and a high topknot with a smokey eye, to name a few. According to her Makeup Artist (MUA), Carl Ray, one particular liquid liner helped pull most of the looks together, and that’s Beauty Pie’s Deluxe Precision Liquid Eyeliner.

beautypie.com“It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to be part of Michelle Obama’s journey,” Ray told Allure. “Her book tour is just the latest example of the positive energy, elegance, and joy she puts out into the world—I wanted to reflect those traits through the beauty looks we created.”
He said the goal was “soft glam,” adding: “I wanted to captivate her passion and expression [by creating] winged eye looks with strong lines, clean brows, and lush lashes.” And there was only one eyeliner for the job. Ray said the Beauty Pie pen is “so precise and glides on effortlessly,” and best of all, you can get it for 50% off right now (which is $15!) using the code BEAUTY50 at checkout.
Reviewers love the versatile liner, too. It’s waterproof, smudge-proof, and the fine point makes it super easy to use. “Best eyeliner I have ever used,” one shopper writes. “I’ve been using eyeliner for decades, and this is the only one that doesn’t eventually blur into crease of my eyelid. It’s easy to get a very, very thin line,” another adds. “Does not budge,” someone else raves.
A black liquid liner is a staple in any makeup bag, and as shoppers pointed out, it can be difficult to find one that checks all the right boxes. If you’ve never shopped from Beauty Pie before, the brand is a subscription-based service that’s super unique in that it promises low prices without retail markups, because products are sourced and delivered directly from beauty labs. However, you can also purchase one-off products from their site.
According to Ray, aside from the liner, there are a few other honorable mentions from Obama’s book tour makeup, including Pat McGrath Labs Mothership I Eyeshadow Palette, Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk’r Instant Warmth Bronzer, and more. Shop his kit highlights below.
