I am FAR from a beauty expert, but I agree.  I like to use eyeshadow as liner, when I line.  I use a tightliner brush & spray it with setting spray, then dip into my eyeshadow.  That keeps it from going everywhere when applying it.  There are many on the market.  I bought one from Amazon.  It is the Bdellium Tools Professional Makeup Brush Studio Series - Flat Eye Definer 714

I use Laura Geller kajal liners. They are thicker and draw a diffused, soft line. They are automatic and last all day.

@MoJoV ...I agree, shadow is much softer.  I always use my angled, chiseled brush.   I wet lightly, but that's not necessary...then dab along my lash line.  I personally like deep plums, but any color shadow would be good to use with a tight angled brush.   If I use a pencil, I smudge it with the same brush to soften it.

Eyeshadow can make a nice eyeliner.  I use the " full edged liner " brush I got from Bare Minerals years ago.  l think Lisa Robertson asked Leslie to design it.  I also use a "soft focused liner" brush and a  "slanted liner" brush, both from Bare Minerals. A make-up artist from Bare Minerals suggested using the prime time eye primer to use the minerals as liner. I would think it would be good using the primer with eyeshadow too.

I use this flat-eye definer brush. I dampen it with water first then swipe it across some of my shadows. I press, press, press it into my lash line (tightline) and it looks great that way. You have to find the right kind of shadows to use them wet.

This brush is $9 on amazon.

 I use one almost identical to that. Smashbox eye shadow brush no. 9. I bought it back when Holly was the rep for Smashbox, so that tells you how old it is. Still in perfect shape

I use a flat angled brush if I want a thin line. You can use the shadow dry for a light line or wet the brush if you want a darker line.

I use a dry short bristled end of a Laura Geller two ended brush if I want a smudgey effect.

I also use an angled brush.  Wet for me.  I've read that baked eye shadows are better for wet applications, but I've never worried about that.

I agree with others, stiff slim brush but I also love Urban Decay eye primer.  I put all over my eyelids then use a skin color eyeshadow (for daytime) then add powder liner from my eyeshadow pallets.  I like to use plums, greens and browns.  Anything black looks too harsh as I get older.  I just do a smudged line and it last hours.  Oh and a have a magnifying mirror on my wall in my bathroom - it's a must for me.

@SilleeMee does the eyeshadow you use to tightline last all day? I've never tried this method because I just assumed I had to use something waxy or oily to have it last in my tightline.

I use this type of brush too to make eyeliners and define my eyebrows. I damp/wet my eyebrows and/or the eyelid with water using my fingertips. Then, I get the eyeshadow color onto the tip of the brush. When the brush touches your wet skin, the color easily sticks to either the eyebrow area or the eyeliner. I like that I only have an eyeshadow palet and this type of brush helps me to use it as an ayeliner and an eyebrow helper.
