Eye-liner..?

i use black pencil eye-liner.


the problem is that after about an hour, it smudges.


i put on the inside and outside, and it's on the outsides that this happenes.





what should i do for this to stop happening?Eye-liner..?
Try a cream eyeliner. It just brushes on and it's a little easier to control than liquid eyeliner because it isn't runny. Plus it dries faster than liquid and is harder to take off but thats b/c it won't smear.





It takes practice but not as much as liquid. I bought cream eyeliner and am still trying to get it just right. I've found you don't need a lot of the cream liner to have a nicely lined eye. So that means I'll have a lot of liner for awhile. :)Eye-liner..?
All pencil eyeliners smudge at some time or another, even the most expensive brands. I suggest switching over to a liquid eyeliner. It's darker than the pencil eyeliner. It can be difficult to apply at first, but it does last longer, even the cheapest of brands.





You can't really apply liquid eyeliner to your waterline. Otherwise, it will irritate your eye and smudge off when you blink. You'll have to apply it under your bottom eyelashes. If you find you don't like liquid eyeliner, try out a more expensive brand of pencil eyeliner. See how this works out for you. It may not smudge as much. I never liked pencil, always been a liquid fan.
i usually find that the inside fades, and the outside smudges. i have the same problem. i really dont know any solution.
you can get a better eyeliner(Victoria's Secret brand) or get a good eyeliner sealer
^ ^ you can also use black eye shadow on top it keeps it from smudging and turning Grey
that happens to me, but its liquid eyeliner.


Maybe try applying it darker or something.


Sorry i dont know.

Eye Liner?

I think that eye liner looks best worn on the top lid, but i find it hard to apply my eye liner there, so i always wear it on my bottom lids.





I use an eye liner pencil, should i get liquid and try that?Eye Liner?
liquid is messy at first, but once you get the hang of it, its really easy to apply it to your top lids.Eye Liner?
i don't like liquid.


okayy. get the regualr pencil.


this might take a little practice, but it's worth it once you get the hang of it.





=]





okay. so make sure you sharpen the pencil like a lot so it's not too big of a line and then take your finger and like streach your eye out from the side and then just put a line. make sure that it's like at the bottom of your top eyelid because if it's not it will just look weird. haha
You could always try powder. It's easy to apply %26amp; isn't too much i find.
i think that a pencil is a lot easier than liquid
Try bobby brown eye liner gel, it lasts hours and is smudge proof.
liquid can be messy if you have never used it before so just practice with it at home until you get the hang of it
You can try liquid liner but honestly it might be even harder. It just takes a lot of practice. It took me sooo long to learn how to apply eye liner on my top lid, but now i can do liquid or pencil. If you use a pencil try sharpening, it will be easier. You should just practice when your bored at home. But honestly practice makes perfect.
liquid is hard to put on first but once you get the hang of it it looks great
i find liquid is much easier to use... though i also think eyeliner looks best on both lids, but i suppose that really depends on your eye shape.
ive never been able to do it with pencil because it smudges and looks a bit messy after a while





i use liquid liner on the top of my lids every day and i find it easier than pencil





have a close look at your eye, you can rest your elbow on a table and ur hand on your face to make it easier first, and it dries and lasts all day





if you need anymore help, feel free to email me, Gd Lk xXx
i like liquid better it looks cleaner and more dramatic. but if u want the smokey eye look then use pencil
I use a glimmer stick from avon on both my top and bottom lids and find that if i dampen it slightly first (just lick it!) it goes on even easier!
Yea and jus put mascara on the top eyelashes to try and even it out..


Assuming from your avatar your white, id suggest that you wear brown eyeliner (unlesss you already do) because black looks very heavy and unnatural, the brown would make it look much more natural and subtle with your skin tone... jus a little xtra info there..
I had the same problem. I find that cream eyeliners, applied with a fine brush, are best for top lids, as the brush allows easy application as it just sweeps on. Smashbox cosmetics do a fabulous pallet of about 8 different colours.





However, pencils are still good, the easiest way is to soften it first by running the tip under hot water, or sitting it over a boiled kettle. This means you don't have to go over as many times to create a darker look, and smudges on easier.





As for liquid eyeliner, it's good if you have a steady hand and can apply it well. The best way is to sit a mirror on a table and apply the liner with your elbows rested on the table, which stops the shaking.





Hope that helps!





Love Melissa XxX
Use a soft pencil on the upper eyelid and smudge it with a damp cotton bud or your fingers for a smokey look or try a liquid liner for a mor dramatic look - like Amy Winehouse!





Just practice until you're pleased with the result!
Pencil is easier but liquid is much more dramatic so its worth spending a little extra time getting it right. Have some cotton buds to hand and you can easily fix any mistakes. Wear liquid on the top and pencil on the bottom.





I remember when I first wore liquid liner on my top lids I thought it didn't look right but it did, its just cos I wasn't used to it.





Finish with LOADS of black mascara if you really want to make an impression :)
liquid is a bit tricky at first but looks much better once you have the hang of it. I'd go for liquid everytime!
yes


at first its really hard to do.


it will kinda come out as a squiggly line, but just try to go really skinny on your inner corner and then get thicker as you go back





but if it is just too squiggly take a q-tip and dip it in makeup remover and smooth out the line.





good luck!!!
liquid liners are the usual for using on the eyelid but i find there is more precision with a pen rather than a brush or a pencil, avon glimmersticks are good ones, i currently use blackest black and it has the softest nib so doesn't hurt my eyes and it just glides on: http://avonshop.co.uk/avonshop/default.a鈥?/a>
I think dat pencil is way esier den liquid ive tried liquid and it never seems to work fro me so use pencil

How should you apply eye liner?

I don't want it too think or anything. Just pretty. Not too gothicy looking either. I'm i guess consitered a prep? I like abercrombie. So yha;;help pleasee!How should you apply eye liner?
1 thing...


top not bottem


it will look awesomeHow should you apply eye liner?
if you line the entire bottom of your eye to thick, it will make your eyes look smaller


just apply it to the outer half or each eye
Just Put a slight bit of it on, if that doesn't work than put mascara on and no eye liner.
If you want a softer look then try black eyeshadow as a liner, or brown eyeliner.
Follow your lash line.
brown liner.. just apply on the outer end of the eye and stop at the center dont go as far as the tear drops that causes dramatic look
if you want you eyes to stand out apply inside the rim of your eyes then apply black mascara it enchances your eye color its really pretty!
apply a thin line along the lashline, extending it at most to the corner of the eye. Start at about the middle and go outwards, and then make it go thinner as you get closer to the nose.





for beneath the eyes, apply as little as possible along where your eyelashes are (i mean like where they are growing out of your skin) but be creful, because pencil liner tends to smudge and look gothic, so you might want to wipe of exess. I'd suggest not even using eyeliner on the bottom, just use mascara to accentuate your lower lashes a bit.





if you use eyeliner, you should also use mascara. It really helps and works well with the liner.





hope this helps.
OOO i think u should aply your eyeliner only on the your eyelids, on the top, instead of the bottom of your eyes. I see a lotta pretty girls do it in my school and stuff.......its not gothy....and u look naturally pretty, try it!

How do you prevent eye liner from smudging?

I was just wondering, since EVERYDAY my eye liner is smudged. And it makes me look like a racoon! So I was wondering if there are any tips / ways to prevent it from smudging?





+ whats a good eye liner brand?How do you prevent eye liner from smudging?
clinique have the best eyeliner pencils though they are quite expensive at 拢12.50 (roughly $26) a pencil but they are worth it as they come with a sharpener on top


however if you prefer a cheaper option go for rimmel london about 拢4 ($8) a pencil.. just get a sharpener and all eyeliner will work like magic





as for preventing smudging get a box of cotton buds :





http://www.germes-online.com/direct/dbim鈥?/a>





things you use to clean your ears lol





seriously they are like a god send.. put on ur eyeliner blink really hard a few times then lick the end of the swab and wipe away the excess eyeliner





and no harm in carring a couple buds around with you in your bag every day for that midday check in the mirror!





what i do :]





good luck!How do you prevent eye liner from smudging?
I use Benefit Cosmetic's Shelaq

You can put it over anything and it will stay smudge proof and water proof. It comes with many different brushes, for eyes lips and eyelashes and is great for trips.





Personally, I love Almay eye liner as well as MAX FACTOR. The colors are lovely and they stay put.
Look at Avon's eyeliners. They are not to expensive %26amp; are great. There are several good ones that shouldn't smudge. Look at Glimmersticks waterproof eyeliner %26amp; Feeling Fine Ultra Thin eyeliner.

I use Mary Kay eye primer and eye liner - not only does it keep your eye shadow on all day without any touch ups, but if you just put a little bit along your lower lashes where you put your eye liner it keeps it from smudging.
I'm using a Rimmel right now and I always try to find inexpensive eyeliner pencils. Applying eyeshadow or a little translucent powder after applying the liner will usuually keep smudging down to a minimum.
waterproof. and revlon. it has a variety of shades and goes on easy.


however, do onot use liquid eyeliner. it can bleed into your eyes.
before you put on your eyeliner apply foundation


or a powder under your eyes. then put the eyeliner


over it. or you could try a waterproof eyeliner





i use define a line by maybelline =]
I use Define-a-Line and never once has it smudged. Only around the edge of eye. But that, you can hardly tell.


I think its the best.
It's kind of expensive, but e.l.f has a waterproof eyeliner. It stays on but it's kind of hard to get off.
I put on eyeliner then get eyemake up remover and go over the parts that don't look good. It' works and doesn't smudge!
hairspray!!
get liquid eyliner.


clinique %26amp; mac are the best.

How can I get a dark dramatic eye without using any eye liner on my upper lid?

I'm pretty good with make up except when it comes to putting eye liner on my upper eye lids...then I really stink. I'm great at eye liner when it comes to the bottom of the eye, but on top I tend to make too thick of a line, or make it too dark...whatever it is, it never looks the way I want it to. I'm a big fan of the dark/smokey eye, not too dramatic, but still hot. How can I achieve this look without using eye liner, and without looking gothy.How can I get a dark dramatic eye without using any eye liner on my upper lid?
I tend to use a eyeliner pencil for the end of my eyelids and smugde it. Then i get a really thin liquid eyeliner and draw a thin line keeping the brush very close to my eyelashes.





If im not bothered but dnt want my eyes to look plain, i get a good mascara, brush my eyelashes downwards so that my eyes look ';hooded'; and i brush the last eyelashes on my eyelid outwards and the lashes i have at the front (near the bridge of your nose) i brush that towards my nose.





So towards my nose, middle lashes are brushed downwards to get the hooded look, and the last eyelashes (they tend to be the longest ones) i brush them outwards towards my ear and make them look flicked out.





I have very long eyelashes so its easy but u can use fake lashes if you want.How can I get a dark dramatic eye without using any eye liner on my upper lid?
Use black shadow like an eye liner and then blend it into your smokey eye. Filling in your water line with black will help deminish any noticable difference between your regular liner and the eye shadow.





Also, if you want a less goth looking smokey eye avoid using a lot of black. In fact a smokey eye can be achieved with any color (right now mine's a blue). The goth look champions using black all over the eye lid and all the way into the crease. Tone it down by breaking up the color. Use medium grey on the eye lid, light grey in the crease, and a skin complimenting (I'm black so things vary) light eyeshadow under the eyebrow. Blend really well. Then use black shadow as a thick eyeliner and blend.





Granted I went back and used fluidline eyeliner but realized that it didn't really make a difference. That's how I stumbled upon using black shadow as ';eyeliner'; when doing a smokey eye.
i know its kinda odd and i think im the only one who does it but i feel the same way about putting eyeliner on the top of my eyelid cause no matter what you can always see a space between ur eyelid and the eyeliner. so you know how you put eyeliner on like the pink part right down from your eye? like just above where your eyelashes grow? well theres one of those things on your top eyelid its just hard to see cause its pointing down. but i somehow manage to like pull my eyelid up and get it there and it looks even better then on the bottom cause its IMPOSSIBLE to tell that you have anything on so your eye just looks natuarally hot :)
get a really thin makeup brush and grey%26amp;silver eyeshadow





put the tip of the brush into the eyeshadow and shade in your eye lid about three or four times. right away your going to get that smokey effect. then take a dab of silver on the same brush and brush it along your brow bone. finish it off with a black eye shadow right in the crease of your eye. honestly,your going to have amazing results and the best looking ';smokey eyes';---for eyeliner use pencil. start in the pupil area and slowly go out if you feel like its getting to dark;stop and then continue/anything comes out better if you take your time[=





G00DLUCK!

The best way to get a smoky eye that won't run is to use waterproof or stay-put products. First use a cream shadow that won't budge to create the smoky look -- Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner [$18, BenefitCosmetics.com] stays put for hours! I like the shade Skinny Jeans because it's a smoky gray that isn't too intense, but if you want a really dark eye, use Strut or Town Car. Apply it with your finger from your lashline to crease, and also along your bottom lashes for a smudgy effect. Finish with two coats of waterproof mascara. Try Maybelline New York Intense Volume XXL Waterproof Mascara in Black [$6, drugstores].
You'll definitely want to use the smoky-eyes effect. Just look for a dark colored eyeshadow, like gray or charcoal, and use a fine applicator or the best tool--- your finger. Smear it gently on your lower lid, gradually softening as you go up... I do this sometimes with subtle silver or dark gold, and i put a little bit on the outer and inner corners.
Use an angle brush and gray eyeshadow. It is a lot easier to use then eyeliner. You can either wet the brush or keep it dry, dip it in powder, then line eyes. Once you line your eyes with it, blend into eyelids and also use some gray eyeshadow on the lids. Then use several coats of black mascara.
black eyeshadow


or a dark purple is always dramatic


also in the corner closest to your nose use a light light color to make the dark color more dramatic


:D
Food coloring and vaseline (petroleum jelly). Mix it first, and then apply with fingers...
Practice with the eyeliner or use dark eye shadow and blend it out
well, makeup is the only way unless you could make a whole another look, that's about the only way.








hope this helped.
well smokey eyes are suppose to be thick, try eyeshadow the ones that has 3 colors in one plate thing, light,medium,dark.
check out youtube gurus
Applying eyeliner to the upper lid can be difficult-it's an awkward area to put eyeliner on, and it's sensitive. To achieve the dramatic smokey eye look, (without over-doing it, of course), you'll need a compact with three or four monochromatic colors. You can potentially do the smokey eye with any color, as long as you have a dark and medium of that color, and a very light color that blends well. Just use the colors that suit your eye color best.





Anyway, rather than using a black (or dark of any other color) eyeliner on your upper lid, use that same color in eyeshadow. You will get a very dramatic effect that will blend into the other colors of eyeshadow better than eyeliner will. The key to the smokey eye is to keep everything soft and blended, yet dramatic. Use medium shades of eyeshadow for a good dramatic eye without over-doing it.





Watching a tutorial to do this is very helpful to make the process easier, and the outcome look better. This is my favorite tutorial-she shows a good, not-too-dramatic smokey eye in a simple way.

What is the best eye liner that does not bleed out?

I prefer pencil eyeliners but most bleeds out after a couple of hours after application.What is the best eye liner that does not bleed out?
water proof is the best but most of them are liquid so i think you should switch if you don't want you're eyeliner bleeding out.What is the best eye liner that does not bleed out?
just get any eyeliner that is water proof Or if u wanna splurge get the chanel on!
MAC eyeliner. They last for the whole day and doesn't smear.
If you are an extremist? The permanent kind like,Tattooed.
Get the water proof kind.
You should go to MAC %26amp; tell them your problem %26amp; they should be able to help you. I think that the pencil eyeliners bleed out too much too, so I switched to liquid a long time ago.
trust me IVE TRIED ALL the eyeliners...





if u want something really good try SHISEIDO eyeliner





and ur gonna thank me

What is the best way to prevent eye liner from running?

It seems like no matter how I put it on, I always have some that smudges during the day....and I'm not crying or touching it or anything. Anyone else have this problem? Tips to prevent?


Thanks!What is the best way to prevent eye liner from running?
By not using it!What is the best way to prevent eye liner from running?
You need a diff. type, I have found that liquid doesnt work just find a pencil liner that is waterproof! And you just have to test some out and c how it goes.
if you're using liquid eyeliners, i think it will stay on just fine. choose the waterproof types.


if you're using pencil type eyeliners, buy a black eyeshadow powder too. In that way, you can pat on the eyeshadow powder right after you apply your eyeliner. with the powder over the eyeliner, it definitely stays on longer!
Use Merle Norman waterproof eye liner, it is wonderful and stays looking good all day!
MAC makes an eyeliner with latex in it. Trust me, it won't budge.
Haha, i get that same problem! I've tried putting foundation under my eyes and on top of it, but it's still smudges at the end of the day. I read in about.com, that you should put an eyeshadow on the lined area so it will set and not smudge. Why not try that and tell me how it goes:)
That alwayyss happened to me..I think it might have to do with oils on your skin or something, idk.. but I bought liquid eyeliner for the top.. (almay)


I put bottom liner on the inside of my eye, some people put it under..if you put it under, it is more likely to smear. If you put it on it, it's more likely to rub off. I'd rather it rub off then smear
Absolutely Mac - Liquidlast Liner. It's amazing- goes on with a thin brush. Gel consistency.
I took care of that problem permanently!!! I have my eye liner tattooed on. It's done very thin, so it shows, but it's not too much for daytime. It's great, but was very scary getting it done.
drop one little drop of super glue into the liquid eyeliner!!!
Get water proof mascara to insure that it won't run. It might be a bit pricier but It's worth it. People judge on looks so look good.
It's the quality of the product. My daughter and I use Merle Norman Creme Eyeliners. It lasts forever!!!! Get the flat brush to apply it - you'll love it.
wipe the underneath of your eye with a tissue then put a little face power on the underneath your eye it used to happen to me all the time because my foundation was oily but i sorted it now xxxx
lol the best way honestly ... is to find one that is better quality. That's your answer, even if it's waterproof or whatever, you have to invest in an eyeliner that is good in quality, and has a good liquid base, like the Lancome liquid eyeliner.
