Babes, hyou're not the only one who struggles with your eyeliner ~ i think its probably the most difficult part of your makeup to apply, for most of us girlies. Getting the perfect cats eyes, with the little flick at the outer corners, and a neat not-too-thick line, just above your lashes, takes a lot of practice. What i do is use a black, dark brown, grey, or navy pencil eyeliner first, to get the shape right. You want to rest your right elbow (if you're right-handed) on the table in front of you, and tilt your head back a bit. Look in the mirror, and use your left pinky finger to ever so slightly and gently pull the skin at the corner of your eye a little taughter, so you can make a fresh line easier. Now start at the inner corner of your eye, and make little light, short strokes, joined together to form a line, carefully following your lash line. When you get to 2/3rds accross towards your outer corners, make the line a little thicker, and flick up slightly at teh very end of your line, for a cats eye look. Now you can leave it like that, smudge it for a smokey look, or follow your pencil line with a black liquid eye liner, for a more intense look. I'd certainly avoid the twist-up pencil liners, as you can never get a fine enough line with them in my experience. They're usually more expensive than normal pencils, and meant to be easioer as you arent meant to need to sharpen them, but once the end is blunt, they're a total nuisance to use in my opinion. So id get the ones that you sharpen. For the liquid liner, i use Clinique Gel liner in a little pot, with a fine eyeliner brush. The Mac one is also really excellent too. Good luck! xxx

I have so many different eyeliners, I have everything from the simply coal black Maybeline pencil to eyeliner makers to liquid eyeliner. I love the effects eyeliners have on my eyes. But the reall sercret to eyeliner is the color and how you personnally apply it. The best thing to do is play around with it until your comfortable with the results and you will have flawless eyes.

Nope I don't use eyeliner or did I ever bought one myself. Can't wear eyeliners. They make my eye itchy and watery after a while no matter how expensive the brand may be. I think the only time I put on eyeliner is during some presentation.

Yes both liquid and creme. I have creme in various colours and liquid in black. I find the creme stays more than pencil does. I buy my creme from Smashbox and liquid from MAC.

I hardly ever wear makeup but I have wore eye liner before. I usually only wear a little bit of mascara and eye liner too. sometimes I wear a little bit of eye shdaow but not very often. I really don't like to wear makeup very much.
