eyeliner issue

plc123 — Fri, 11 Aug 2017 01:22:15 GMT

Sorry if this has been asked before but i have tried many different eyeliners and nothing stays over 2 hours. I do not have oily lids and i use twofaced shadow primer. Sometimes eye shadow is gone after 2 hours. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advanced.

You probably need a primer for your shadow and liner. Give that a try and see what happens.

What I do is swipe just the tip of the bristles of a flat eyeliner brush in a pressed powder eyeshadow that's the same or close to the color of the eyeliner and dab it all along the eyeliner line. This sets the eyeliner and makes it last all day for me. Bullet-proof! LOL!

@plc123

I ordered Laura Geller eyeliner (4 diff colors) set and so far absolutely love them!

I had the the same problem, stays on a bit OR smears off. I swim everyday - and so far LG is the winner. I don't use a primer but line after I put on my eyeshadow. (I'm not a heavy makeup wearer)

Im giving them the 30 day try & love the purple!

I like the Urban Decay shadows and their 24/7 liners. They have good staying power for me. They also have a nice primer that could extend the wear time. That said, I think that liquid liners might have even better staying power. I don't use them personally because I've had severe allergic reactions to the couple I've tried (there might be some that I can use, but after ending up on steriods to curb the reaction, I'm not willing to try any others!!!!)

Everybody is different, but I used to have that problem all the time, and what works for me is the Urban Decay eye primer. A tube lasts forever, and it really stays put. As for eyeliner, I'm told liquid stays on well, but it's too hard to apply. So I use pencils, and work the liner right into the base of my eyelashes. The ones that stay on best for me are Clinique Kajal pencils, Dior pencils, and Laura Geller. I usually put my powdered eyeshadow, if I'm wearing any, on after the liner.

Bobbi Brown gel liner in the little pot stays on forever and does not go anywhere. It takes a little practice,at least it did for me. Now I have permanent liner and haven't had to use liner in months! I love it!!

Here is another vote for the iconic gel liner. It is as though the pencil & liquid liner got married and I find this is the best of both worlds. Liquids are more difficult to apply correctly while pencils pull the delicate eye lid too much. I also am a BB gel liner fan.

Estee Lauder doublewear liner. That is the only one that will be there when I look back in the mirror later. I also use eyelid primer.

I have never used a pencil or gel eyeliner that didn't smudge if it was on long enough, even using a primer which I always do as I have oily eyelids.

What I do use with great success is Laura Geller's eye rimz (baked eyeliner) or even her baked eyeshadows, applying with water and my eyeliner brush. They never smudge.

I use eyeliner on the 'water line' of my eye.

I have yet to find anything that doesn't come off.

So, any suggestions would be great.

From Q, I've tried Mally and they were worthless I use Lancome, but that's no good either. Tried the cheaper stuff like Maybelline - nada.

@Qshopper1991 Try from Sephora Lancome's Drama Liqui Pencil -- similar to the Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencils I think the Le Crayon Kohl pencils from Lancôme are too hard on the eye area (don't really glide on).

ETA: I see the Lancôme website has as a 'new' item the Drama Liqui pencils.

I picked up one of these (picture below) the other day at the store and it works great!! It still comes off in my waterline (I haven't found ANYTHING that will stay in my waterline), but it stays and doesn't budge on my top and lower lashes.It's the Loreal Infallible Matte-Matic Eyeliner

I also saw a review of the Lottie London AM to PM Kohl Eyeliner pencil and they said it works wonderfully in the waterline. I'm trying that next! You can get it online at Ulta and it's less than $5.00!!

@plc123,My eyelids are deep set and I have always had an issue with the dreaded crease my eyeshadow would form on my eyelids. It itched and I'd get irritated from the line that was formed.

My eyeliner often also made a line in the middle of my eyelid.-OUCH!

I found a good shadow base and was doing fine, but it was discontinued.

Happiness was finding Laura Geller Eyelid Spackle. A drop of this white/clear miracle on the eyelids and everything stays color true and stays put! Everything stays true color in place of my eyeshadow being pale! YEAH!!!

Now I get it off of the Geller site or at our Ulta Beauty store on the mall. I also love her INKcredible liner because it's so thin.

I've been using Physicians Formula shimmer strips. I don't line my waterline and these don't stay on forever but they last better than anything else I've tried. You can get a 3 pack for about $12 so the price is right too.

I only use a powder eyeshadow for a eyeliner as it stays on all day and you can have many colors.I have never found a pencil that goes on smooth and I have tried many. Try eyeshaodw you may be surprised!!
