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.
Brittani: Hi Ladies, I have very small eyes (most people think I'm Asian, but I'm not) and I have also had alot of trouble with eyeliners because I have oily skin and in turn, oily eyelids. I use Benefit's Magic Ink in Jet Black and let me tell you its pretty amazing! I would say it lasts about eight hours...it doesnt really smear but after 8 hours its good to dab a little more on. Its a liquid eyeliner that is very easy to apply and gives you a dramatic or good everyday look and it costs about $20. I don't use it everyday, but I've had it for about 4 months and it seems I still have a ton left! I've tried browns on me and I actually like that better...I'm looking for more of a softer look. Anyone know anything a little less precise and dramatic than liquid eyeliner that doesnt smudge? I have heard great reviews about Bobbi Browns gel eyeliner, but have never tried... Brittani
Laura: I have to be extremely careful as to what eyeliner I use because I am allergic to most. I was using Maybelline Expert Eyes in the Navy, but they took that off the market and replaced it with Define a Line - I'm allergic. Any advice.
Criena: I love eyeliners and my bank balance will surely suffer now I've discovered this post!
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.
calvhing: love it
