Alyssa: I have problems with the smae thing my eyes are oily and my eyes water constantly.I dont hav e the m oney to be spending over 20 bucks a month on eyeliner so i put eye shadow under my eyes. it helps alot. just like on your upper lid it helps minimize smudging and leaving a mark above the crease.
Bonnie: Physicians Formula liner pen is amazing. It is the only liquid liner I've ever been able to use because it dries immediatelly. The brush is thin enough to use for a day look, but also does a great job for more glamorous looks like smokey eyes and wings. I also have oily lids and this baby does not budge. It does not irritate my contact lens and is around $8. What more could you want!
Betty: What about eyeliners that aren't too expensive for those of us that can't afford to waste that much money on a eyeliner
ej: Hi ladies, I have tried liquid, powder, gel, pencil and nothing lasts 16 hours. I tried the $32 felt tip eyeliner by Hourglass, and it didnt stay on long enough. Dont spend your money on it. It faded after 5 to 6 hours and it flaked and smeared. I gave it a try for a week and I had to return it to Sephora. Same thing with Urban Decays gel liner $25. It faded and it would rub off. I agree with Alix thats the best kept secret, Maybellines red wooden eyeliner stays on for ever as long as you light a match and heat up the tip of the eyeliner for about 2 seconds. Let it cool off for 30 seconds and apply. You can even use it on the inside of your lower lash line and it WONT smear. I have been using it since I was 16 and Im 44. Trends come and go, but this eyeliner stays on.
Chelsea: Hi,ladies, I have pretty sensitive skin, esp around eyes. I even suffer from pricking every time I wanna take eye-makeup off.... Do you guys have recommendations for some good liner, shadow or remover brand suitable for sensitive skin? Thx xx
Holly: I use Topshop pencil and liquid liner, they're both brilliant!!! I've had them for many months and they haven't ran out, I can wear them for a full day and they won't smudge or crack. You can get both of them for £10!! I love them and use them all the time, I Would really recommend them.
Pilar: The HIP gel eyeliner that comes in a jar is amazing. It's better than mac fluidline
Rebeeziac: I have really oily skin especially around my eyelids and i have used every type of liquid liner that is "guaranteed" to last. For example, the first one, make up forever aqua eyes. i have used the set primer and alone and it still bleed and creases and smudges even after letting it dry for 6 minutes. So i gave up on stick and went to liquid and i use carbon black loreal liquid liner and its good for the price but it smears off and all. The calligraphy seems reliable but i cant go around spending $32 a month on one cosmetic. I use liner almost everyday, so do you have any other alternatives?
