Hello lovely peoples Smile

Just wondered what brand of liquid liner people like to use/find best?

I've tried all sorts, some with brushes, some that are like felt pens, some fat, some thin...yet have not found the holy grail for creating my flicky look :_(

Any suggestions would be most appreciated Smile

For the ultimate flicky look Lancome rocks! ahem sorry and now for a more professional appraisal. It's durable, it doesn't smear down your face at the first sign of moisture, it lasts for hours and they have a fabulous range of colours, sticking your false eyelashes to it doesn't seem to phase it either and the long fine felt nib give you the perfect "flick"

aaaahh lovely!

I prefer to use M.A.C - Fluidline in blacktrack shade. It's excellent. It's a gel in a pot and it's best to apply it with a angeled brush (a small one) or another brush like a point eyeliner one. It lasts all day/night, smudge proof and goes on sooo silky!

I've never used the Lancome one, but I may have to....

I definately second the MAC Fluidline - its wonderful and lasts absolutely forever. And obviously because its in a pot you can use lots of different brushes for different shapes and styles.

The one I use when I'm being cheap/lazy is just a £1.95 liquid liner from Superdrugs cheapy 2Tru line. I really like the brush on it, and its not half bad for wear and tear.

Thanks guys for the tips...sorry I didn't reply sooner, sometimes it's difficult to get on the computer at work.

I'll try the lancome one as soon as I get paid..unfortunetly have to wait almost 3 weeks *sigh*

Oh well.

Another reason I like the Lancome one is that it fits so neatly into a tiny handbag with all your other makeup just incase you dont make it home that night! Embarassed

Clinique makes a brilliant egyptian eye liner. Comes as black thick khol in a pot with a brush, you can do as thin or thick as you want. Other than that I would recomend khol which comes as power and you dilute it with water, I got some in Turkey, although am sure you can get it on the net.

If I whisper this very very quietly, is too unchic to say that I actually like Boots' Borjois range?

Lancome gets my vote, followed by Rimmel (though the pen is pretty inflexible) when I'm borassic. Much prefer a pen to a brush, maybe as my hands just aren't very steady.

I use Mac. Fluidline and normal liquid eyeliner. I also mix my Mac pigments with water and use a fine brush to apply it as a liner! That way I have lots of colour options depending on the makeup I am doing.

On the subject of eyeliner.....I am pretty rubbish at applying it - love the way it looks when it's winged out at the sides, but can never get them the same size / height - any tips for the fumble fingered one please?

Also any tips on good places to get make up lessons? I tried one at Debenhams but the lady had me in so much scary 80's make up it put me right off! Thanks Smile
