Eye liner trouble

    Im looking for advice on a really good eyeliner, not too expensive, to achieve a simular look to say Sophie from Big Brother. Iv been using pencil liners for years but i want to find a liner that gives a more definate/glossy black. The trouble i have with most liquid liners is i can never get it quite right/straight.
    Also any tips on a mascara that actually gives you fuller lashes?

    Advice gurls?

    GOSH eyeliners are awesome, both the pecils and liquids.

    Essence liquid eyeliner is savage.

    I've slagged them a lot in my time but when it comes to eyeliner, MAC are awesome. Plus the one I have has lasted me over a year now, that's using it at least three times a week!!!!! Don't know how they fit so much into so small a container. If you don't want to go super expensive though, rimmel do a perfectly good one too.

    Edit: Actually, while we're on the subject of eyeliner, this might sound like a silly question, but does anyone know of a brand that do liquid eyeliner you put on with a special brush, rather than the little cone shaped ones you get with the brush on the lid? Like it comes in a pot or something? vague I know, but dying to know if it exists!! Am sure I've seen girls use it in nightclub toilets/on tv.

    Thanks

    Make up Forever do a good one of those (IF it's what I think you're talking about).
    Eyeliner comes in a little pot and you buy a special angled brush separately.

    MAC eyeliner is FTW. I've had mine for ages, totally worth the money as it's such good quality, and it really lasts. I have the "Smoulder" one, DO NOT BUY WATERPROOF! I think MAC do small little pots of liquid eyeliner that you can apply with an eyeliner brush as well.

    I swear by L'Oreal's Super Liner (the Carbon Gloss one...).

    I can never, ever use liquid liners. I'm far too clumsy for that, and I always end up with black stuff everywhere. But this one has a sort of sponge tip, which I thought might be a bit more difficult to use, but it's actually ridiculously simple. It almost applies itself! Rarely have problems putting it on! Worth a try, definitely! :)

    The eyeliner you're talking about is either MAC fluidline in Blacktrack or Bobbi Brown's Longwear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink. On the pricey side but totally worth it and they don't budge!! Both these products are to die for...can't do without! I used to use Mac and found it excellent although now I'm using BB and love it..so easy to apply.

    You use an angled brush (something like Mac brush no. 208 or 209) You can get less expensive brushes that do as good a job in chemists.

    I have the MAC eye liner, Liquid Last it's called and I can't say enough about it. I forget how much I paid for it, maybe 22 euro or so but it's great. It's really nice and black and I like the brush for putting it on 'cause you can do a skinny line or make it thicker. It also will stay put no matter what! I thought I had it all off last night and this morning woke up and there was still some of it on!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,217 ✭✭✭pookie82


    Thanks a million girls, knew I wasn't imagining it!! Will try MAC next time I'm re-stocking in there, if I can bear the assistants!!

    I got the MAC fluidline in Waveline (navy) and I love it. Goes on easy and looks slick. Again, using the slanted brush.

    Hi
    I use Urban Decay 24/7 pencil eye liner and I find it brill. Ive been using it for 6 months now and wouldnt change it. My beauty therpist intriduced it to me.
    Def worth a try and its not expensive either.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 96 ✭✭SmellySockies


    I really wanna change my eyeliner! I use rimmel and it tends to smudge bad so I end up with panda eyes! Anyone know one that doesnt smudge?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 348 ✭✭KatiexKOUTURE--


    I like Rimmel Exagerate (Sp?) liquid eyeliner. Though you need two layers of it to make it last.

    But, instead of liquid eyeliner I sometimes use wet black eyeshadow. Dip a sponge applicator in water then turn it on its side and put black eyeshadow on the side. Then apply to eyes.

    Benefit do one like this, it comes in a palet with black and brown and you just have to wet the brush a bit to put it on, although you have to buy the brush seperate, but its worth it, it works really well

    For a liquid one, you can't go wrong with Gosh. (Think someone mentionned it already)

    It's amazing stuff, doesn't come off at'all, even when it's lashing rain or what have you. Even in the shower! Even when you rub your eyes!

    It's my new love.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 155 ✭✭kickthecan


    I took the advice here and bought Gosh, Rimmel, Mac and a couple others OMG!!! Im eyeliner crazy at the moment cost me 50euro!!!
    The Gosh is amazing it doesnt come off easily even with a wipe. Need to find a good full lash mascara now and its sexy eye city for me gurlys x
