Re: Eye pencil for water line

@Natureluvr , I have the same problem as you do with the round eyes.  If you put liner below the lower lash, it looks awful.  I also have green eyes and I tend to use either a navy, green, or brown liner, sometimes black or dark gray if you find black too harsh.  

 

When I say waterline, I'm not talking about the entire area above my lower lashes.  I have found no liner that will line the wet part of the lower lashes except maybe one actually called Lower Rim Liner, and I think it only comes in black.  I line just along the edge of my lashes.  There's actually a little ridge there and I can almost line that area without even looking.  Much easier than trying to line beneath the lower lashes.  

 

Currently, I have mostly been using Laura Geller liners, either the Kajal or the Inkcredible ones.  The Inkcredible ones are a long, thin pencil, so better if you don't like the chubby Kajal ones although I've never had a problem using the Kajals on my lower lash line either.  I can't use them to line my upper lashes because I don't like a thick line on them and that's all I can get from them on the uppers.  I think a thick line on the upper lashes just make my round eyes look rounder, and I don't have a lot of lid area.  Another one I've seen mentioned and also use is the NYX Retractable pencil.  I have that in Navy and green.  I'll post a pic since NYX makes different pencil-type eyeliners.  I can never find these in my Ulta and have to order from Amazon.

 

I recently bought a set of Doll 10 liners that was claimed to go on like the gel liners that come in a pot.  I'm hopeing so, since I love those, but they dry out too fast, especially since I only wear makeup once a week.  But, I haven't actually used those yet, so the jury is out on them.

I LOVE Laura Geller Kajal.  It stays in the waterline.  Lots of colors.  Go to her website, you can just buy one color that you like.  They are like thick crayons, but stay on all day.


I tried her Kajal liners, but had no luck.  The color ran and smeared bad on me. 


Likewise. The Kajal liners were too thick and ran on me as well. I switched to the new Doll 10 liners. Amazing!

Re: Eye pencil for water line

I use gel pencils. Have some from Mally and LG too  and have bought a few off brands. They always go on smooth and even. I have hazel/ amber-ish eyes so I can use most colors. I like gunmetal and have a bronze one and an olive one that look good as well as brown and a soft black. I rim my eyes at the water line top and bottom too.

I've had very good results on my waterline with this RIMMEL liner. Goes on smoothly, no tugging and it lasts a good part of the day. They are less than $5 at most places.

Re: Eye pencil for water line

I have hazel eyes and line my waterline bottom and top. I like NYX eye pencil (not retractable) . I have used charcoal but am now using sapphire.

A615360 tarte Quick Stick Waterproof Shadow & Liner Trio

I use this tarte liner on my upper waterline and it stays all day, and the shadow stays as well.  There are more color combos on the tartecosmetics dot com with liner options in maroon, aubergine, bronze, brown and black.  No grey liner options, but there is a pewter luster shadow with black liner.

I, too, like the Laura Geller Kajal eyeliner, but I like her INKcredible liner even better.

Re: Eye pencil for water line

Colourpop is famous for their eyeliners. I haven't bought any but will as soon as the Twilight collection comes back in stock so I can add it to the Twilight shimmer dry body oil.  I'll see what I can find out about their staying power in the water line.
