I think it depends on what look you want- more precise or more smudgy and what formualtion you prefer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/makeup-question---eyeliners#post-537904 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:31:00 +0000 Ornella 537904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/makeup-question---eyeliners#post-537267 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:45:09 +0000 qfbrenda 537267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm cheap with makeup.

I find there are more options for color with a shadow and it is easy to apply this way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/makeup-question---eyeliners#post-537021 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:52:39 +0000 velvetychocolate 537021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Drugstore:</p> <p>Maybelline Line Stilletto liquid eyeliner - quite easy to use, no goof-ups</p> <p>L'Oreal HiP Cream Eyeliner (gel based eyeliner in a little pot) - eggplant is lovely - looks more brown-ish/smudgy than actual purple. One problem: the little brush it comes with is a tiny bit scratchy, so I'd recommend buying a bent eyeliner brush for these, such as shown in picture #1 (item pictured is Sonia Kashuk brand from Target, but there are lots of eyeliner brushes you could find, a flat one would work as well). These cream/bel based eyeliners in a little pot stay on much better than a pencil, but aren't as tricky as a liquid eyeliner - plus they have a softer effect. The L'Oreal Hip Colour Truth cream eyeliner is fabulous. I also like the brown colour as well. </p> <p>Another good brush is in picture #2 - Japonesque Travel Eyeliner flat eyeliner brush</p> <p>Pencil - I haven't found a pencil eyeliner I like from the drugstore.</p> <p>Higher end:</p> <p>Lancome Artliner Precision Point Eyeliner (liquid) - shown in picture #3 - I always buy brown, and this is my favourite liquid eyeliner of all time. </p> <p>Gel/cream based - haven't tried or found a higher end one I like as much as the L'Oreal</p> <p>Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes waterproof pencil eyeliner (picture #4)</p> <p>Estee Lauder Automatic Eye Pencil Duo - just excellent (picture #5) - I like charcoal - doesn't pull, tug, slides on, never needs sharpening, comes with a refill as well. This is my favourite pencil eyeliner ever. </p> <p>Happy shopping/trying out - and let us know what you find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/makeup-question---eyeliners#post-537019 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:51:19 +0000 Jjsloane 537019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of my favorites:<br /> Tarte Emphaseyes gel (but they run out quite quickly - not enough product for the price IMO)<br /> <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P266114&#038;categoryId=S10505&#038;shouldPaginate=true" rel="nofollow">http://www.sephora.com/browse/.....inate=true</a><br /> Bobbi Brown gel liner - You have to use a brush and it always dries out long before I finish it, but it goes on nicely and doesn't smudge<br /> <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P270539&#038;shouldPaginate=true&#038;categoryId=5644" rel="nofollow">http://www.sephora.com/browse/.....oryId=5644</a><br /> Now I'm using Bare Minerals Big and Bright eyeliner which is pretty good, reasonable non-drugstore price and doesn't disappear until much later in the day.<br /> <a href="http://www.bareescentuals.com/Big-Bright-Eyeliner---Charcoal/mastereyepencil,default,pd.html?start=2&#038;cgid=BE_SUB_EYELINER" rel="nofollow">http://www.bareescentuals.com/.....B_EYELINER</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/makeup-question---eyeliners#post-537017 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:50:29 +0000 Mo 537017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear it like once a month, but I have Cover Girl Exact Eyelights that goes with my matching mascara to bring out the green in my eyes. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VECJXY/ref=asc_df_B002VECJXY1893989?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&#038;tag=pg-743-86-20&#038;linkCode=asn&#038;creative=395097&#038;creativeASIN=B002VECJXY" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002V.....B002VECJXY</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/makeup-question---eyeliners#post-537013 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:44:28 +0000 Victoria 537013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I mostly buy drugstore brands because I haven't experienced major differences between these and higher end ones.<br /> Drugstore-my favorite is from Jordana, automatic retractable ones. Dirt cheap and great to work with, have been using it for years<br /> High end-Bare Essentials. I just got one recently in one of their kits and really like it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/makeup-question---eyeliners#post-537012 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:43:07 +0000 kellygirl 537012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've tried lots and always end up with Mac Fluidline in Dipdown. It lasts a long time as long as you keep the lid on tight. I apply with an angled flat eyeliner brush and it comes out perfect every time--of course, I've had eons of practice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/makeup-question---eyeliners#post-537009 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:42:26 +0000 Anonymous 537009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a kohl pencil, by Urban Decay. I think is the one Sharon posted. It's the best one I've ever tried. Liquid liner is too dramatic for my taste. I like to use something I can smudge and blend.</p> <p>I also like the HIP liners - the ones that come in the little pot - I used that one for years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/makeup-question---eyeliners#post-536986 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:21:29 +0000 Anonymous 536986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Liquid, gel, cream, or pencil? I mostly have drugstore eyeliners listed because I have really oily asian eyelids and eyeliner just slides off so I don't want to spend a lot of money on a cult favorite if I can find a good dupe. </p> <p>I've personally had the best luck with Maybelline, Wet n' Wild, and Urban Decay. Best pigmentation, lasting power, and slides on super smoothly. </p> <p>Drugstore:<br /> Maybelline Unstoppable e/l* (Absolute favorite).<br /> Wet n' Wild cream e/l<br /> L'Oreal HIP Color Chrome e/l (MAC's dupe)<br /> Jane Be Pure mineral e/l (UD's dupe)<br /> Revlon Colorstay Liquid e/l </p> <p>High End:<br /> MAC Fluidline<br /> Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/makeup-question---eyeliners#post-536980 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:13:36 +0000 Ornella 536980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Drugstore ones and pricier brands, I'd appreciate recommendations please. </p>
