Applying both liquid AND pencil eyeliner? 10pts best answer?

Question

I like the look and long lasting-ness of liquid eyeliner but I currently use pencil eyeliner on a daily basis. Liquid eyeliner can be such a pain in the butt to apply so i was wondering if it would work if i applied pencil eyeliner first and then use that as a guideline for when I apply the liquid eyeliner.

I'm basically asking if applying the liquid eyeliner "on top" of the pencil eyeliner would still keep the long-lasting appearance, or would it just smudge after a few hrs like pencil eyeliner does?

And i'm asking this on here because i don't have liquid eyeliner to test it myself. I wanted to know before i go out and buy one.

Also, what is a good, long lasting brand of liquid eyeliner that you would recommend?

Thanks to everyone that answers!

Answer 1

One of the best long lasting eyeliners out there is MAC Fluidline.  It has a shoe polish-like consistency and gives the look of a liquid eyeliner.  It must be applied with a good brush.  I bought a flat brush from an art store.  It has a VERY fine edge and it is also great to practice with.  Than that'll be the only liner you need.  Some cosmetic companies make a waterproof sealer for eye makeup.

I use almay liquid eyeliner and love it...It has a nice sharp tip which gives me the look I want. Yeah, I would totally put pencil on top and just trace over it with liquid which actually makes it last longer. Hmmm here's a you tube video that helps with eyeliner...

I love eyeliner so much, so I'm so happy to be answering this question!

I was always afraid to use liquid eyeliner, because I could never get the hang of it. But I assure you, with enough patience and practice you CAN do it.

I would apply the pencil to your eyes as your normally do. Then, carefully go over it with a liquid eyeliner. Take your time and go VERY slowly. If you mess up, keep plenty of Q-tips handy to erase mistakes. I know how frustrating it can be if you mess up, but just hang in there, it definitely will get easier if you practice and have patience.

I would highly recommend covergirl liquid eyeliner. I use it in very black. It's amazing. The tip is perfect, it comes off easy if you make a mistake, and it's so easy to hold and navigate. Here's a link:

Have fun, and good luck! Take your time and go slow!

Answer 8

Yes, that would work fine. Apply Pencil, dab with Q-tip to remove any excess and then do the Liquid.

You could also try using Liquid first, then going over it with a black eyeshow or black eyeliner powder. For me that techniques helps to reduce smudging. I apply the power just as the liquid is just about, but NOT completely, dry.
