Eyeliner/Mascara recs?

[CurlyQ284]

I've always used eyeliner in a pot that I apply with a brush but I feel like it's too thick. I habe sensitive skin. Any recommendations?

Also looking for mascara. I kind of liked benefit they're real but I need more help with volume than length. I tried Lights Camera Lashes and it rubs off, I have dark circles by dinner time and it's worse if I don't use primer.

I'm kind of wondering about Kat Von D for both? Yes/no?

I've been using Cover Girl Lashblast Volume in Black. I get the waterproof formulation and it's been holding up just fine. I haven't found a high end mascara that has outperformed a drug store brand (yet.)

One of my favorites is actually NYC Showtime. I think it's less than $4 a tube.

[chedifuen]

For eyeliner, I really like Tarte pencils. I think thy are called smolder eyes. For mascara, I'm a huge fan of Too Faced Better Than Sex. I feel like it gives me volume and curls my lashes. It comes off much easier than They're Real but doesn't flake off during the day.

I've been liking the Stila automatic liners more than my UD ones lately. They apply so smooth and creamy. And they are small point in size.

Masacra... I hoard a bunch of brands and use one at a time. None have been impressive enough to repurchase. I did try the new IT cosmetics one in store and that was nice. But no idea on long term

For under eye I like MUF Aqua eyes. I use the pot kind for on top, but the mark Jacobs pencils are so amazingly smooth.

I will always love Voluminous. Especially after I use it for a couple of weeks. I feel like mascara's always better when it's not brand new and it's dried out just a bit.

Her tattoo liner is fantastic.

[CurlyQ284]

Oh I forgot to mention, waterproof mascara makes my eyes itch, burn and water so womp wommmmp. I need a non waterproof with staying power.

[Deleted]

I use maybelline rocket volume mascara. Ive used everything from UD to benefit to Dior mascara and its by far my favorite. As for liner, i use Stila stay all day if i want a liquid liner and sephora retractable liner for a gel liner look

[pixy0stix]

Mascara is very contentious.
Eyeliner I like urban decay 24/7.

Clinique Lash Power.

[pagas]

Mascara - YSL Baby Doll
I don't wear eye liner, no help there.

[fayeelle]

Mascara- Bare Escentuals Buxom is the bomb diggity.

[lexxasaurus]

I use Urban Decay for both.

Perversion liner and Cannonball waterproof mascara. For non waterproof mascara I have UD Perversion and Too Faced Better Than Sex.

[tacoflavoredkisses]

I've got nothing on the eyeliner front.

But I recently got a sample of Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill and I'm obsessed. Before I was all about lights camera flashes (in the gold tube, not purple) but eyes to kill might be better.

[ZoeHart]

Another vote for Bare Escentuals Buxom mascara. I love that stuff!

[secretlyevil]

Eyeliners: Mally pencils, UD 24/7, tarte, NYX slide on/glide on.

Mascara: Too faced better than sex, MUFE Smokey extravaganza, tarte lights, camera, lashes

[Bernadine]

Mascara- Ecco Bella. It's the best cruelt-free that I've found.

For eyeliner, I've actually been using a flat brush with eyeshadow.

[lovelyshoes]

Liner - MAC, Urban Decay and MUFE.

Mascara - Guerlain 'Noir G'. It's amazing. I also love YSL and Lancôme mascaras.

[redheadbaker]

This is going to be the most contentious thread on this board, LOL. Mascara is very divisive.

[EloiseWeenie]

I have allergic reactions to liners and mascaras, so I'm limited. I'm always looking for a liner that doesn't make my eyes itch, so I usually default to Lancome kohl liner, or just use a darker eye shadow. I'm waiting for a good sale to try out some L'Oreal liners, in hopes that they're similar formulas to Lancome.

For mascara, I love Lancome. I haven't bought any in a while, since I've had lots of samples: They're Real (like, but it's a harsh formula for my lashes), MAC (meh), MUFE (meh), Roller Girl (only used a few times, so time will tell).

I love the Maybelline rocket mascara too. I just started using it about a month ago and it's my new favorite. I also love Stila Stay All Day liner. It's one of the few eyeliners that actually stays on me.

I didn't realize! I haven't been in the massive makeup thread. I just saw this was new and I'm a little obsessed with skin care and makeup lol.

[sporky]

Eyeliners: I'm another UD 24/7 fan, although I recently got a Too Faced liner that I'm loving.

Mascara: I love all the mascaras. For volume, I've found Too Faced's Better than Sex gives me the most. But I also love Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes and Lancome's Star Hypnose.

Mascara seems to be a very "love it or hate it" product. I find it funny, LOL. 

[redheadbaker]

FTR, the mascaras I use the most are Benefit They're Real (which heyjude hates), Bare Minerals Lash Domination, and Too Faced Better Than Sex. Better Than Sex seemed way too clumpy at first, but once I started scraping the excess from the wand on the bottle before applying, I loved it.

[mominatrix]

One of the things about Mascara is that I don't think there are huge differences between prestige and drugstore. You can find great and awful in both places.


Have you tried tube mascaras? They might give you the staying power you want, even to the extent of being waterproof, without the reaction.


Also... this is brilliant:

This is amazing!!!!!

My favorite mascara is Bobbi Brown Smokey Lash. But I haven't had to pay full price for it yet, as I'm still working through Sephora point samples. I might feel differently when I have to fork over $29.

Eyeliners - NYX Slide Ons are great, except I don't love the black one. I haven't found a drug store black eyeliner I adore. I do really like the NYX skinny marker. But it is prone to fading, which I suppose is better than melting or smearing. The black eyeliner I use the most often is also Bobbi Brown, also obtained with points. I really like it, and given I haven't found any other black liner I like as much, that might be the one I pay full price for. For colored liners, I have a bunch I like -- NYX Slide Ons, UD Glide Ons, Marc Jacobs Skyliners, and Stila Smudge Sticks.

Also, nobody asked, but the UD Grindhouse pencil sharpener is a must buy for sharpening your pencils.

[Fari5]

My go to liner is UD 24/7. For mascara, right now I'm loving Lancome Definicils.
