Good quality eyeliner?

Question

What's some good quality eye-liner I can use? I don't know how to apply liquid eye-liner yet...so tips on how to do that would come in handy also.

I mostly use pencil and retractable eye-liner. I bought my pencil from Walmart. It's a Rimmel-brand product, so I figured it'd be worth the $4.99. Only it rubs off and smears, after an hour....I hate it. I NEVER touch my eyes, so I have no idea why it stays on like that. I'm in middle school, we mostly just sit down in our chairs so it's not like I'm sweating it off. Any help, please?

Also, if anyone knows how...how do I keep my pencil from smearing off so quickly? Is there a type of base, or whatever, I'm supposed to use like you do for eye-shadow?

Answer 1

Lancome is more expensive but worth the cost. Goes on smoothly and lasts all day.

Answer 2

MAC ALL THE WAY HUN!!

im in school too and i have pe like everyone else but the mac stuff stays on like freking magic

Answer 3

how about using some liquid eyeliner?

well that's if you put it on your upper eyelid.

and for the bottom you can use covergirl perfect point plus i think its called.

Answer 4

use urban decay primer potion from www.sephora.com.

this will make any eyeliner stay put.

use liquid liner for definition.

use pencil for a slightly more natural look. or for smoky eye.

using liquid liner is easy, if you can put on pencil liner without using a q-tip. slightly make the eyelid taut so you can see the root of your top lashes then with small stroke, line the eye. use thin lines first, then if you want more definition or if it's a little messy, make the line darker with another application.

Answer 5

To be honest, pencil sucks. Just get liquid eyeliner, it's not that hard to put on unless you have a really shaky hand, and plus you can get a felt tip kind which makes it a lot easier to apply. I believe I use the rimmel brand currently, but MAC brand works better (even though it's expensive) It doesn't come off easily,but if you get it on your face it will come off easily so dont worry, also, it doesn't hurt when it gets in your eye btw. Just put it on carefully in the same way you would with a pencil.

I would personally recommend MAC's Fluidline (gel eyeliner). They come in little glass pots, and you apply them with an angled brush. They give the liquid look, but are much easier to apply than liquid (unlike liquid, you do not have to apply in one perfect stroke). And though it is $15, one pot lasts a loooong time. They also have tons of fun colors. Go to a MAC store, and they can show you how to apply it (I promise, it's easy- I am terrible at applying liquid liner, and I am in love with the gel liner)
