Eyeliner help

[purplecow0206]

So, I'm starting to get into wearing a little bit of make-up on a regular basis to work, just to freshen my face up. I've always had problems using eyeliner pencils, and have found a brush works best for me. The problem with that is I'm just using eye shadow and it seems to disappear before the end of the day, or flake down under my eye.

What are some good eyeliners to use with a brush?

I like the MAC fluidlines, they're a gel eyeliner.

Also if you are just going to use eyeshadow I'd put a little eye primer on first and that will help it stay.

You could also try wetting your eyeshadow before applying. It's darker and may have better staying power.

This is what I do. I run a little water over the brush and then dip it in the shadow and kind of make a paste with it. It stays all day.

I'll have to try the water tomorrow, thanks for the suggestion!

Definitely use an eyeshadow primer. Urban decay and too faced make great ones but are about $19 each. If you want to try one for cheaper, ELF (eyes, lips, face) has a great one for either $1 or $3 by I'm pretty sure it's only $1. As for eyeliner, if you are lining the lid use a Gel eyeliner with a brush after you apply eyeshadow. You can also use liquid eyeliner that come in pen or brush like applicators. The pen style
is easiest for beginners. Great gels - maybelline, loreal, tarte (my favorite) Mac, Bobbi brown.
