Eyeliner

[SAMMM!]

Hey guys, I have a quiiick question. ;D
Which eyeliner do you think is the best color eyeliner? D:

Because to tell you the truth, I've never actually used color eyeliner, so I'm not sure what brand etc. would be the best. :/

Haha, thankss. Clueless. >.<

Oh, the colour depends on your own colouring and what look you want. A line on the top lid or a flicked cat eye in a bold color is one of the easiest ways to update and create an interesting "face".

-BRANDS-

MAC is ideally the best liner and loads of fun colours

Illamasqua is a new British line that has every colour a girl could ask for! Ships to US I believe

Urban Decay always has fun packaging and hues

YSL and Lancome for basic colours

The Ida: Looks good! I use the 266 brush pretty much always with my blacktrack.

Ah, thanks Veda. (:
I saw MAC and I did like their range.
Bellapierre has a great range too.

Sammm, NARS has a great selection of coloured eyeliners. I was having a play around with them today

NARS! Duh! They're selection is ace...completely slipped my mind!

I just bought Lancome's Artliner in Brown and it's so perfect. Very easy to apply due to its felt pen tip, but more importantly it's the perfect shade of brown! I simply cannot wear black eyeliner, it's so unflattering on me. I have light olive skin and somehow black eyeliner always looks cheap and awkward on me.

Many brown eyeliners on the other hand are too bright or reddish, which is good sometimes because it pops against the green of my eyes/skin. But I wanted something that wouldn't be too intrusive in my overall makeup routine; just something to bump up the contrast of my eyes. So for that bold yet neutral look I found it in the Artliner.

It's so easy to get a perfect thin line with this. Very good for those unpracticed with liquid eyeliners.

What brush does everyone use to apply mac fluidline? I bought the mac 263 brush but it's too hard to work with... since I'm a beginner what kind of brush should I use?

^I use the 208 with no problems at all, I'm new to it too. I think it works fine though

I've been looking for brighter coloured eyeline pencils for ages and I just discovered a new brand - it's just called 'Make Up Store' and I think it's Swedish originally. Anyway, they have a great selection of coloured eyeliners - even larger than MAC's. I've also been really impressed by the staying power. Not cheap, though, sadly.

There's a 'make up store' here in Australia. They have a wide variety of things and their range of colours is very good. It's very arty makeup, not basic at all.

I use the 208 as well. I find using angled brushes much easier than pointed or flat ones.

I would like honest opinions on this look. I wore it to dinner with my grandparents (66 and 70). They told me I looked like a booger. (Booger is southern for haint or witchy-person. Not the thing that is in your nose.) Sorry the photos are blurry, my camera wasn't cooperating. Also when my grandparents saw me at dinner, I had my hair in a bun.

^Maybe you should just have tightlined your upper lash line? I actually like that look on you (save the eyeliner on the lower lash line), but grandparents can be so...yeah, you know

Thanks. I'm not sure what you mean by "tightlined your upper lash line" though. Do you mean make the line smaller?
I have a heck of a time when it comes to eye make up. Darn hooded eyes. It's like if I wear eyeliner and eyeshadow, you'd only see the eyeshadow right under my eyebrow. Doesn't help that my eyebrows are so blessed close to my eyeballs.
