How can I make my eyeliner last more than a few hours?

Question

My eyeliner only stays on for a few hours after I apply it. My skin doesn't get terribly oily and I always sweep powder on my lids before I apply it so I don't know what to do! How can I make it last all day? Should I be using liquid liner as opposed to a pencil? Or any suggests would be cool. Thanks.

Answer 1

Wash your face with soap before u put the eyeliner on......then put foundation.....and ur eyeliner will last.

Answer 2

Gel eyeliner.

I depend on Smashbox's gel liner.

Pretty expensive, but it works and i Looooooooooove it.

Answer 3

liquid eyeline does have longer stayin power however it is hard to use

Answer 4

yes

using a liquid liner would solve this problem

but if the application's too hard

i recommend a gel liner (l'oreal HIP has a line of these that work wonderfully)

but when using a liquid liner

even if the mistake is small

when the color's black

it's still incredibly  noticeable

so keep the q-tips and makeup remover handy

both give you similar looking results that look vibrant, clean, and both incredibly long-lasting

liquid lasts 12 hrs. at least for me

gel lasts 8 hrs. for me

but i still prefer gel

because i don't need my liner to last 12 hrs. before a touchup

Answer 5

liquid.

it stays wayyy longer.

sometimes overnight for me when i dont take it off.

Answer 6

if u use pencil get the same colour eyeshadow and small brush and just go over the eyeliner mark and that should hold  it all day. also u could invest in urban decay primer potion. good luck x

Answer 7

ok if your not used to liquid eyelineer you fcan always use waterproof eyeliner it actually stays on longer then regular eyeliner....but liquid eyeliner always works =]]

and since your face is oily theres these oil absorbing sheets from clean and clear

they take away the oil without removing you makeup and they work good

((the link for the oil sheets is below))

hope i helped =]]

Answer 8

i use liquid liner, then i go over it in pencil eyeliner

it lasts all day and i rarely ever have to go over it.

Answer 9

Well I use a pencil eyeliner from Sephora and it stays on all day. Its only $4 too. I also "set" my eyeliner with black eyeshadow; so after I use my eyeliner, I go over it with black eyeshadow. Sally Girl (found in Sally's Beauty Supply Store has a good black eyeshadow for only $1.

Answer 13

Liquid eyeliner will stay on longer.  I use a Ruby & Millie one, it's like a felt tipped pen so is easy to use.  I've added the link to their website but it is being built/updated at the moment.  You could try ebay though.
