Eyeliner

[MissAnia]

Inky Eyes

Eyeliner is key this season. Black is the best bet for the Sixties-influenced thick line with the all-important flick on the outside corner that gives it a modern edge. Think Prada and Blumarine's spring/summer 2003 shows and pray for a steady hand. Pencils allow for more mistakes than the more unforgiving felt-tip and liquid liners, but if you really can't get it right, start by making a template to draw around on each lid.

This thread hasn't been posted in in a week but I'm going to bump it up so I don't have to make a new thread



How can I line the corners of my eye ; like this ;

With out having 'eye boogers' by the end of the day? Everytime I do this, in a few hours it's all ***** in the corners?

I need an eye liner that will NOT do this.

Hopefully someone knows what I mean.

The Revlon pencil liner I use doesn't make boogers, but the Mac liquid liner does. You could try using an angled brush (like MAC 266) and eyeshadow...I just got it and it's a lot quicker and easier than using a pencil liner, and stays longer.

I like "makeup forever" eyeliner. Also madina milano I bought from Milan is great.

I love the looks in the 2nd Elle pic by Miss A. I also "flick" the eyeliner at the outer corner of my eyes and I line the outside half of my bottom lid. No liquid liners for me though. My hands shake because of my thyroid condition and I get jagged lines. I use crayon-y types...not the the dry pencil types. And they are quite intense especially if I apply after I put on a cream eyeshadow first.

MAC Liquid Eyeliner doesn't smudge from oil, but if one drop of water touches it, it'll run down your face... Powerpoint Eyeliner doesn't smudge on the back of my hand, but on my oily face it doesn't stay...

not very helpful, but just to show you how bad things can turn out

well I've got a liner chart, which black is darker...

the cheapest one is the darkest khol... chanel smuges, lauder smudges... but I can reapply anyway

'This retractable eyeliner combines the ease of a pencil with the long-wearing hold of a liquid liner.
Ultra-soft texture enriched with carnuba and bees wax. Built-in sharpener ensures precision - anytime, all the time.' From www.bourjois.co.uk

I've been using this Bourjois Liner Stylo for ages. It's very versatile. It can be very defined but not like a liquid eyeliner nor does it smudge like a normal pencil. Highly recommended!

thanks for the recommendation girls

susie, the bourjois liner stylo sound good to me. i have something similiar actually, but they all smudge
will try out this one
