I love the stuff too--for me, it's best to apply with an angled brush. I've been using it forever! My color is Dipdown which is a dark brown/black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-eyeliner-look-from-one-for-the-money#post-536941 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:27:12 +0000 DragonflyJane 536941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen a web-thing on doing this look.</p> <p>The girl used 2 small pieces of toupee tape to mask off the area on each eye that she didn't want eye-linering, applied the liquid eyeliner (bit like a felt tip) and then whipped off the 2 pieces of sellotape - hey presto! Perfect cats eyes. </p> <p>I haven't tried this in real life though - I'm so clumsy I'd probably rip out most of my eyelashes too. It does look a bit on the painful side.</p> <p>I use a (sharp) brown eyeliner for a daytime take &amp; a black liquid pen for a night time look with pre-moistened q-tips at the ready to rectify any mistakes. A steady hand is required! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-eyeliner-look-from-one-for-the-money#post-536925 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:02:58 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 536925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the advice and specific items to look for. I definitely have a skin type where most makeup doesn't stick around for very long. I have tried a few primers, none of which have made a big difference, but to be honest I haven't made it my life's work to find one or anything. Time to try again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-eyeliner-look-from-one-for-the-money#post-535476 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:21:20 +0000 Ana 535476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Una's suggestion of Mac Fluidline. I love it. Very easy to work with (as far as liquid/gel liners go), and it stays put all day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-eyeliner-look-from-one-for-the-money#post-535470 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:08:28 +0000 catgirl 535470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a disaster with liquid eyeliner - too spazzy. Instead I use Mac's Fluidline liners - they are a gel in a pot. You have to apply them with a brush but they dry quickly. I put it in my waterline and blink a couple of times for a basic look, but you can use an angled brush to get a cat-eye. They last forever without smudging once on. Just don't leave the jar open as it will dry out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-eyeliner-look-from-one-for-the-money#post-535451 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:59:13 +0000 Sunita 535451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too am experimenting with this look. Sad to say, I have a long way to go. I have a hard time getting the swoop beyond the eye lid just right and keeping my eye still while it dries.</p> <p>I've heard it might be easier if you draw the shape first with a pencil, and then go over it with liquid liner.</p> <p>I recently bought this Stila liner which came highly recommended, but I haven't yet tried it:</p> <p><a href="http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=239460&#038;catid=12977&#038;cmbProdBrandFilter=77326&#038;mp=True&#038;trxp1=35873&#038;aid=338791" rel="nofollow">http://www.drugstore.com/produ.....aid=338791</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-eyeliner-look-from-one-for-the-money#post-535308 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:22:30 +0000 chewyspaghetti 535308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Make sure you are also using an eyelid primer- it helps things stay put. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-eyeliner-look-from-one-for-the-money#post-535302 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:18:55 +0000 mrseccentric 535302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you have 'hot' eyelids like mine, that eat shadow, liner, etc. for lunch!</p> <p>no worries, just prep with a good base like Too Faced Shadow Insurance or Urban Decay eye shadow primer. Just use a tiny tiny amount (like a dot 1/8" across per lid). Type of liner helps, too - for pencil i'd use Styli Style or Prestige. As for not being too OTT, try the cat eye shape in pencil that's a bit smudged, even in a dark brown or grey rather than black.</p> <p><a href="http://www.makeupgeek.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.makeupgeek.com</a> has a great makeup forum. have fun! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-eyeliner-look-from-one-for-the-money#post-535110 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 08:47:17 +0000 Aunty 535110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Laura, that look is big over here in the UK at the moment. I think you have to use liquid eye liner and wait for it to dry so that it stay's put. Lol My niece did it but must have blinked before it finished drying, it was not a great look!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-eyeliner-look-from-one-for-the-money#post-535089 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 07:38:26 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 535089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has anyone else seen One for the Money, the movie version of the Janet Evanovich book with Katherine Heigl? It's a cute little movie. Anyway, I really liked Heigl's character's makeup look, especially the modified cat-eye thing she had going on. (You can kinda see it in this pic - <a href="http://thedirecthor.fooyoh.com/thedirecthor_filem_topboxoffice/6570293" rel="nofollow">http://thedirecthor.fooyoh.com.....ce/6570293</a> )</p> <p>I am wondering how one gets this look without looking OTT or having makeup end up all over the place. Whenever I've tried with eyeliner it's gone by lunchtime, but it's always been regular liner, not liquid liner - is that what's needed? </p>
