Eyeliner Recs for Tightlining

Lipstickdiva · ‎03-10-2010

I have worn eyeliner for as long as I can remember. All of a sudden, I have decided I no longer care for eyeliner on my eyes. I'm not sure what changed. I have never liked black liner on me.

For years, I have typically worn eggplant, aubergine or a bronze liner. I have green eyes that are large. I usually wear liner on the top only. I prefer a liner that has a glimmer or shimmer to it. Now I feel like it all looks too harsh on my eyes.

The liners I use all last really well on my lids but don't seem to last when I tightline from the underside on my upper lash line. I use Sephora Collection liners and I have a Pixie liner I love the color of.

Does anyone have any recs for a liner I can use to tightline that will actually last?

I love the It Cosmetics tightline, but I think it only comes in black.

I have used IT Cosmetics Tightliner before and it was excellent for me.

I use a few options for tighlining:

Skinn Smudge Sticks

Skinn Eyeliner

Laura Geller Kajal Eyeliner

Laura Geller INKcredibles Eyeliner

A narrow flat angled brush and eyeshadow - press into the lash line a little at a time as you go across,

@Lipstickdiva I really like the BareMinerals One Fine Line eyeliners (A537456). They come in a set of 4 for $38.

They stay on all day and are really easy to use.

I am sure everyone has their favorites, but S hanus is a makeup artist and I would check by her.

I love Laura Geller for tightlining. They stay put.

@Janey2

When you refer to IT Cosmetics Tightline, are you referring to the mascara/primer?

@Lipstickdiva - I agree with @ECBG. Call @Shanus .

I started tightlining when a Laura Mercier mua recommended it years ago. She recommended a cake liner, Bleu Marine. I had to practice and practice before I got it right! After a while I learned I could do the same thing with my favorite pencil liners, which I still do!

@Lipstickdiva I prefer tightlining over lining the eyes on the top lids. The key is using a waterprrof product whether it's a gel liner (Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown or MAC) or a waterproof pencil by Mally or I like Urban Decay 24/7 pencils. Navy is my color of choice because it's dark enough to define, softer looking than black and makes the whites of the eyes appear whiter.
