Eyeliner Question

Winkk — Mon, 18 Jul 2022 12:21:09 GMT

I'm in search of a new eyeliner. I want something that goes on smooth. The pencil I'm currently using seems to pull the skin as I'm applying it.

Also, something that comes in other than black. As I get older I'm trying to keep my makeup soft and not look like one of those old gramdma's with over exerated makeup. TIA

@Winkk My HG liner pencils are Urban Decay 24/7. They come in many colors other than black. I love the navy and charcoal grey. There's also a dark brown that has no red in it (important). Check them out. I think you'll be pleased.

Thanks @Shanus -- I'm currently using Urban Decay eye shadow and like it. I'll give the eyeliner a try.

@Winkk I forgot to add that any long wearing shadow stick, in the shades you like, can be applied as liner. Either use as is or I like to use a thin liner brush and rub it across the top of the shadow stick and apply...smoothe application and a lot of staying power. They can also be applied in the waterline.....

@Winkk My favorite eyeliners are the Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks with an angled brush.

They go on so smoothly with no skipping or pulling.

Just glide across the lash line.

You have time to smudge or adjust the line if you need to, but once they set they don't move.

I use argan oil (Ulta brand usually) as my makeup remover & it comes off easily.

Cocoa & Plum are the 2 I use daily, but I love Azure, too.

I have Smoke & Sapphire, but evidently they are discontinued.

I have tried many and I keep going back to Bobbi Brown gel liner in the pot. Caviar Ink is a beautiful color. It lasts all day!!!

I've used that, and it does stay on all day, but you need a steady hand to apply it.

Maybelline Unstoppables in Espresso, nice alternative to black.

I have a number of different eyeliners and I tend to agree that overall I like the Urban Decay 24/7 the best. Just don't think you can go wrong with those. I will say, though, that I have some Mally eyeliners that are old as the hills and they're still very, very good...always have been and I guess they always will be. Amazing!

And FWIW, some that I was influenced to buy but do not like are Marc Jacobs, Pixi, and I just tried an Elf one I found in my stash and talk about dry! Also tried some Sephora house brand and not so crazy about those either.

@Shanus Can you please tell me the name of the dark brown Urban Decay eyeliner without the red in it?

I like Ulta collection and L’Oréal Le Liner.

I really like the Makeup by Mario Pigment Pro Eyeliner in Perfect Brown. Jessica Braun, a 30 year old youtuber recommended it, but it works very well and looks good on this 50 year old. Have been searching for the perfect eyeliner my whole life and tried many, and this one is pretty good.

@Winkk I used Lancôme Artliner for years. There was a green liner that looked beautiful. If I could not find the green, Lancome also made a lovely blue shade. The colors would go with everything, and did not look particularly green or blue. The liner never smeared. I have had difficulty the last few years finding either color. I have a light to fair complexion, and most of the liners either look too dark/harsh on me or smear (nobody wants eyeliner running down under the eyes). If I use brown tones, the liner seems to disappear. The blue or green liners were perfect. It is frustrating to use (and really like) a product for years, and then suddenly be unable to find it. QVC sells Lancôme Artliner, but not in my preferred colors.

@scullychick It's called Whiskey... a nice deep, matte brown.

I use Bobby Brown gel eyeliners. I wish other brands had them. Mac and Shisedo have a few, but they are not as good.

Lancome Artliner is my all time favorite. Urban Decay pencil liners would be my 2nd favorite of all time.

I like the gel eyeliners in a pot, but they dry out so quickly I gave up on them.

@Winkk --I really like Mallys gel liners--I got a set of three awhile ago, a brown, gunmetal and plum. they go very smooth and last a long time. I have kind of amber/hazel eyes and use the brown alot but surprisingly, the gunmetal works better for me than a harsh black and I just plain love the plum.

@Icegoddess Gel liners (pot) do dry out if not closed quickly. I put a bit on my hand, close the lid and tap my brush from hand to eye. It doesn't seem to dry up on my hand before I finish.

*** I use these gel liners in a pot to tightline. They're waterproof and do not transfer.
