eyeliner

Any tips on keeping eyeliner where it is supposed to be??? Mine tends to run as the day goes on.

As I was performing my daily Artistry (my make-up), I thought of another great tip.

Sometimes lipliner works great as an eyeliner...you might have to experiment a bit, but its fun.

And oh yeah, I love lipstick as shadow sometimes, especially in the summer....Have fun with it don't be afraid to try different things...Make sure its clean and safe stick with the stuff made for the face...

Here is another vote for waterproof, twist-up liner. I use Lancome's LeStylo pencil. It's a bit pricey at $21, but you can get one brand-new on ebay for half that. It works really well under the eye, as well as a liner for the top lid.

I use it under the bottom lash line, not inside. I think lining the inside of one's lower lid makes most people's eyes look smaller. I also make my line very, very thin. Sometimes I add top lid liner, again very thinly, for dressier occasions.

Applying dark eyeshadow very thinly to the lash line (above or below) instead of liner gives you a really nice "smokey" look, but may need to be touched up every couple of hours.

BTW, cosmetic manufacturers caution against using lip products in the eye area. I am not an expert, but I do know that the eye area is very sensitive and products designed specifically for that area are probably the most gentle. So please be careful.

Yes, it's true. But you have to be careful to a) read the item description very carefully to ensure that you know what you are getting (new vs. used, tester vs. full-size not a tester, etc) AND b) check out the seller via the feedback history. Also, don't forget to factor in the shipping charges.

I got two LeStylo pencils for $19.99 + shipping and it was a great transaction.

You can get MAC, Chanel and other expensive cosmetics as well. Not to mention Redken, Tigi, etc.
But remember that these products are not "guaranteed" in any way by the manufacturers since they are not really being sold through legitimate distribution channels, as has been mentioned in other threads here.

I know that The lip thing isn't recommended for Eye's .....And if you are sensitive you should always be careful....but I've been doin the make-up thing, on me and others, for a long time now...and have never had a problem.

So, all I can say is...you have to know your own tolerances, and go from there.

And I have to say you guy's are really paying top dollar.........19.99 for eyeliner....10.95 maybe, and for even less check out Almay's..automatic eye pencil. ?? Not bad for the money.

Gel or liquid eyeliners work well for this. You can of course touch up during the day, but try this....

Prime the eyelids with foundation and powder (translucent works best)
Add the eyeliner
Touch up with shadow using an angled brush
Dust over with a slightly lighter shadow to finish off the setting

good luck

I use a waterproof eyeliner to prevent smudges!
